JAKARTA - The people of Pati Regency held a massive demonstration on Wednesday, August 13 to sue Regent Pati Sudewo to resign from his position.
The demonstration that led to the clash stems from the policy of the Regent of Sudewo, which increased the UN by 250 percent. Even though it has been canceled and apologized, it seems that the people of Pati Regency are still not satisfied because they highlight a number of policies that are considered not pro-people.
Not only Pati Regency, a number of regions are also volatile regarding the local government's policy of increasing Land and Building Taxes. Such as Cirebon City, Semarang Regency, Jombang, and several other areas.
Rumors circulated that the local government wanted to increase its regional income through an increase in taxes due to efficiency from the central government.
Head of the Presidential Communication Office (PCO) Hasan Nasbi at the Kwarnas Building, Thursday, August 14, responded to this. According to him, efficiency applies in all district and city governments.
If there is one area that becomes volatile, because the local government makes a policy of raising taxes to increase its regional income, according to Hasan Nasbi, it should not be linked to the central government's efficiency program. This is because each region has its own policy regarding the increase in the amount of regional income.
