JAKARTA - Member of the E Commission of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Ghozi Zulazmi, highlighted the validity of data on grant recipients managed by the Education and Spiritual Mental Bureau (Dikmental) of the DKI Jakarta Regional Secretariat. The lack of synchronization of data is considered to have the potential to cause public confusion in overseeing the distribution of grant funds sourced from the APBD.
This highlight was conveyed by Ghozi when discussing the implementation of the Dikmental Bureau's budget. On the one hand, he appreciated the results of the Financial Audit Agency (BPK) which did not find any findings in the management of the Dikmental Bureau's budget in 2025.
However, Ghozi assessed that there were still homework that needed to be improved, especially regarding the openness and accuracy of data on grant recipients.
"Data on grant recipients must be synchronized and easily accessible to the public," said Ghozi at the DKI Jakarta DPRD building, quoted on Monday, June 29.
According to him, there is a difference between the data of grant recipients that are presented in the meeting with the information listed on the local government grant page. This condition needs to be immediately improved so that the public can obtain the same information from every official government channel.
Ghozi emphasized that the management of grants not only talks about the distribution of the budget, but also concerns the aspects of transparency and accountability to the public. Data accuracy is an important instrument to strengthen oversight of the use of regional budgets.
Apart from the data issue, the PKS legislator also highlighted the realization of the absorption of grant budgets that was not optimal in the previous year. He asked the regional government to evaluate the unimplemented grant program so that it does not continue to repeat itself in the next budget planning.
"Hibah yang tidak terserap harus menjadi bahan evaluasi," tegas Ghozi.
The evaluation, he continued, is important to ensure that the allocation of grants is truly in accordance with the needs and can be realized effectively. Thus, the budget that has been prepared by the local government is not only structured in the planning document, but can also be utilized to the fullest by the entitled recipients.
