JAKARTA - Commission VII of the Indonesian House of Representatives criticized the use of the budget at the Indonesian Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin) in 2022.

In the material presented, Deputy Chairman of Commission VII DPR Bambang Haryadi questioned that there were several budget items that were not clearly utilized, such as the training and guidance budget.

Bambang questioned the amount of training and industry guidance in 2022 that is not yet clear.

He said, although using a relatively small budget, the activities were quite a lot.

"There are trainings and mentoring which are small in value of IDR 1-2 billion, but a lot. There is training in industry for 100 people worth IDR 1.5 billion. That means IDR 15 million per person. What is this for? and what outputs?," said Bambang in an official statement quoted Tuesday, June 14.

According to him, this can be used as an evaluation material in the future when discussing the 2023 RAPBN later.

"What we want going forward, the 2023 budget is not based on guidance or training alone," he said.

As is known, the Ministry of Industry's budget in 2022 is IDR 2.860 trillion. Commission VII of the DPR is currently studying the use of the budget of its partners, including the Ministry of Industry.

"How many realizations and targets have been achieved as of May 2022. We want to know what programs can have a direct impact on the interests of the wider community. On this occasion we will use the realization and achievements that have been implemented by the Ministry of Industry as our basis for the approval of the RKA K/ L 2023," he concluded.

Meanwhile, Chairman of Commission VII DPR Sugeng Suparwoto revealed that he would explore the realization of the Ministry of Industry's budget for Fiscal Year 2022.

"In the APBN for Fiscal Year 2022, it is stated that the budget for the Ministry of Industry is IDR 2.86 trillion. Commission VII wants to know to what extent the use of the budget at the Ministry of Industry has an impact on the community," said Sugeng.
