JAKARTA - The Special Staff of the Governor of DKI Jakarta for Public Communication, Cyril wary Hakim (Chico Hakim) responded to the statement by the Governor of West Java, Dedi Mulyadi, who claimed to be able to pay Rp. 10 million per family in Jakarta if he became governor.
According to Chico, Dedi Mulyadi is wrong if he assumes that the Jakarta regional budget (APBD) is sufficient to pay each existing head of family.
"He calculated the wrong thing there, because if it was Rp. 10 million multiplied by 2 million, it would mean Rp. 20 trillion a month. Meanwhile, he wants to pay Rp. 10 million per month. So, if it takes Rp. 20 trillion a month, it needs Rp. 240 trillion per year," Chico told reporters, Tuesday, May 13.
However, Chico emphasized that the DKI Provincial Government appreciates Dedi Mulyadi's enthusiasm to develop their respective regions and especially for the welfare of the citizens.
"We appreciate Kang Dedi as one of the best governors in Indonesia at this time and his intention with Mas Pram to prosper the citizens," said Chico.
"In essence, Kang Dedi was too excited that he just miscalculated it," he added.
In the National Conference (Munas) of the All-Indonesian Provincial DPRD Association (ADPSI) in 2025 at Gedung Sate, Bandung, some time ago, Dedi calculated that the Jakarta APBD could be used to pay each head of the family.
"Jakarta, sir, the population is under 10 million, the APBD is Rp90 trillion. If in Jakarta there are 2 million families out of 10 million (residents), Jakarta can be paid per head of family of Rp10 million," said Dedi.
It is different from West Java Province. According to Dedi, the West Java APBD cannot pay the population that has multiplied many times with Jakarta.
"Because Rp. 10 million multiplied by 2 million is only Rp. 20 trillion. For me (to be governor), share. It's different, West Java is 50 million people," he explained.

Apart from Jakarta, Dedi assessed that the Governor of East Kalimantan could also do the same. This is because the population is only 4 million with an estimated 1 million families.
"For 4 million, I average one house for four, meaning that the house is only 1 million. If the house is only 1 million, actually for East Kalimantan I give 5 million per house. Because one million times 5 million, IDR 5 trillion, meaning that the people of East Kalimantan can be very prosperous. It's different from West Java," added Dedi.v
