PDIP To Hold Highest DPP Meeting To Discuss Alor Regent Angry At Mensos Risma's Subordinates

JAKARTA - PDIP senior politician Junimart Girsang highlighted the issue of the Regent of Alor, East Nusa Tenggara, Amon Djobo, which went viral because of a video scolding the Ministry of Social staff regarding the distribution of natural disaster aid. As a result of the regent's actions recorded in the video, PDIP withdrew its support for the regent.

"I think that the regent is a political office. When we talk about politics, of course we talk about ethics. These officials must be firm and polite," said Junimart when met by VOI at the DPR building, Senayan, Jakarta, Thursday, June 3.

Junimart tried to understand the Alor Regent, which he judged was only venting his frustration with his outspoken style of language. So impressed.

"If I say I'm not scolding, maybe it's because he's annoyed with the way his language seems to scold," he said.

However, according to Junimart, this is a lesson for the future for officials. Because the words of the officials set an example for the community. Even if there are things that are not pleasing, they can be bullied.

"When we talk about the PDIP regarding the virus, the Alor regent is angry with the staff of the Minister of Social Affairs, even the Social Minister himself, we PDIP will certainly study, observe and if possible will be brought to the highest DPP meeting. Yes, we will wait," he said.

"If it is brought to the highest DPP meeting, we will wait for the outcome of the meeting," he added.

The deputy chairman of Commission II of the DPR did not specify when the PDIP would schedule the highest meeting.

"We don't know yet, we just have to wait and see if we can carry the marwah too. It can't be politicized, we have to take a stand. How will we wait for the meeting at the DPP," he said.

Junimart said that his party had non-formally sent a warning to the Regent of Amon regarding the anger. However, in order to decide the party's attitude towards it, it is necessary to discuss it at the party meeting.

"Unofficially there has been (reprimand, ed), but we are talking about the official one because it is valid. If it's not official, it's wild everywhere. So we'll just have to wait for the results of the DPP's decision if it is brought to the DPP later," he said again.

As for sanctions, Junimart emphasized that all decisions are at the party's highest meeting, including the issue of revocation of support. If the sanctions are light, then only a warning is given.

"Not yet (revoke support, red). We'll see later, there are light, medium and heavy sanctions. (If it's light, red) the most warning," said Junimart Girsang.

Previously, the Regent of Alor, East Nusa Tenggara, Amon Djobo stated that the revocation of PDI-P support for him was the right of the party bearing the white-nosed bull.

"That's fine, it's the right of the PDIP but I really regret it," he said when contacting Antara, in Kupang, Thursday, June 3.

This was conveyed regarding the revocation of support from PDIP for him after a viral video scolded the Ministry of Social staff regarding the distribution of aid for victims of natural disasters in the district.

Amon regrets that the togetherness between himself and the PDIP, which has been well established for a long time, had to be stopped

The Alor Regent did not expect that PDIP would be affected by the video footage that was actually uploaded not in its entirety, only taking when he scolded the Ministry of Social staff. He admitted that in the viral video he never mentioned PDIP at all.

"So my anger is because of the management of the distribution of social assistance to victims of the Seroja disaster by the Ministry of Social Affairs," he said.
