PSI Faction DPRD Argues When Got Gage, Deputy Governor Of DKI Riza Patria: Whatever The Position Must Obey The Rules

JAKARTA - Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Ahmad Riza Patria responded to an incident that occurred between members of the DKI DPRD from the PSI faction and officers because their vehicles were prohibited from crossing odd-even areas.

Riza said, no matter how high the position held, they must still carry out the applicable rules, in this case the odd-even application during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Whoever we are, we must obey the existing rules. Whatever our position, whatever our position, let's show the community to the citizens that we are obedient and obedient citizens," said Riza at DKI City Hall, Central Jakarta, Friday, 13 August.

Riza admits that the current odd-even implementation begins with minimal socialization. However, he hopes that by now many people are aware of the rules.

"Later, we will continue to increase the socialization. Hopefully, today, everyone knows that in Jakarta, the odd-even policy has been implemented temporarily from 12 to 16 August," he said.

Yesterday, odd-even happened. The odd-even roads are Jalan Sudirman, Jalan MH Thamrin, Jalan Merdeka Barat, Jalan Majapahit, Jalan Gajah Mada, Jalan Hayam Wuruk, Jalan Pintu Besar Selatan, and Jalan Gatot Subroto.

On the first day of the odd-even implementation, a member of the PSI faction of the DKI DPRD, Viani Limardi, was involved in an argument with officers when he was about to enter Jalan Gatot Subroto. The car that Viani was traveling in had an odd license plate, so the authorities did not want him to pass.

When confronted by officers, Viani defended herself and said she was carrying out her duty to monitor vaccinations in Penjaringan. During the previous PPKM, Viani was allowed to pass because she had a letter of assignment.

However, the assignment letter was declared invalid by the officer, as long as the vehicle number was different from the odd-even date. Viani then saw that the changes to the rules made during PPKM were not clear.

This incident made the Chairman of the DKI Jakarta PSI DPW Michael Victor Sianipar strongly rebuke Viani for not respecting the officers who work to enforce the rules in handling the pandemic.

"We have strongly rebuked our member Sis Viani, while at the same time ensuring that this will not happen again," said Michael in his statement, Thursday, August 12.
