JAKARTA - Minister of Public Works (PU) Dody Hanggodo revealed that the use of the PU Ministry's budget was also allocated for rehabilitation of the impact of demonstrations in August 2025, in which many DPRD buildings caught fire due to the mob.

Just so you know, the burning DPRD building is located in Makassar, Solo City, South Sumatra, Kediri City, Jepara Regency, as well as an asset building belonging to the People's Consultative Assembly in the West Java DPRD.

Dody said that his party had prepared a budget for handling the impact of the demonstration of Rp140 billion, which his party would rebuild several DPRD buildings that were burned down due to demonstrations.

The budget is only used for revitalizing the DPRD building.

"For the handling of the impact of demonstrations of Rp140 billion throughout Indonesia, the average is to rebuild several DPRD buildings which at that time had been burned," said Dody at a Working Meeting (Raker) with Commission V DPR RI at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Monday, November 17.

Previously, PU Minister Dody Hanggodo said that his party had prepared a budget of around Rp900 billion to rehabilitate public facilities throughout Indonesia damaged by demonstrations at the end of August 2025.

This was conveyed by Dody when he visited the location of the Pejompongan Toll Gate (GT) in Jakarta, Tuesday, September 2.

"The total cost of all of Indonesia yesterday was almost Rp900 billion," said Dody.

Dody bilang, anggaran tersebut akan dialokasikan untuk memperbaiki fasilitas-fasilitas umum yang rusak, seperti halte, gedung DPRD hingga halte Transjakarta dan MRT.

"Kami ambil titik dulu yang paling utama gerbang tol. Karena, kan, tol itu hampir tiap hari dilalui oleh rekan-rekan kami semua dan halte Transjakarta serta MRT yang kena imbas," kata dia.

"Gedung-gedung DPRD di seluruh Indonesia kami juga akan merenovasi," sambungnya.

Dody said the budget would be allocated to repair damaged public facilities, such as bus stops, DPRD buildings to Transjakarta and MRT bus stops.

"We take the first point, the main thing is the toll gate. Because, right, the toll road is passed almost every day by all of our colleagues and Transjakarta bus stops and MRT are affected," he said.

"We will also renovate the DPRD buildings throughout Indonesia," he continued.
