JAKARTA - Former DKI Jakarta Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok) visited the DKI Jakarta City Hall to talk with DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung this afternoon.
From the results of the meeting, Pramono admitted that he could learn various things related to governance in Jakarta to Ahok.
"Anyway, I learned from Pak Ahok, yes," said Pramono, Wednesday, August 20.
Ahok revealed a number of topics that he discussed with Pramono. Starting from the polemic of increasing land and building taxes (PBB), digitizing markets, improving the quality of education, overcoming floods, to efforts to increase the use of public transportation for Jakarta residents.
The chairman of the PDIP Central Executive Board (DPP) wants similar discussions with Pramono to occur regularly for several months.
"We are with Pak Pram, maybe 2 to 3 months (once), we discuss it," said Ahok.
Ahok revealed one of the contents of his discussions with Pramono, namely the issue of increasing the PBB in various regions, which are now being protested by the community.

Ahok assessed that the phenomenon of increasing the PBB by local governments could occur because the central government reduced the transfer funds from the APBN for the APBD for each region.
"In these areas, it is difficult now. Civil servants need to be paid, construction wants to run. But the DAK-DAU funds (special allocation funds) have been cut a lot, right? So many regions are looking for money, how? The easiest, don't want to think, raise the PBB," explained Ahok.
According to Ahok, the government can raise the UN, as long as it maintains the main principles in determining its value. According to him, the amount of the UN should not be higher than the selling value of the building's tax object (NJOP).
"So, the principle of the United Nations cannot exceed the NJOP of market prices. That's why next year it may have to be evaluated. Maybe there are some parts of the land that the UN should lower," he explained.
