JAKARTA - Chairperson of the PDI-P DPP Megawati Soekarnoputri criticized the recent increase in the price of basic commodities, such as cooking oil, chilies and others.
"Mr. Jokowi, imagine, I often saw yesterday the price of chili, that's the price of cooking oil, that's the price of red onion. I think it's weird, how come it's so classic, huh?" said Megawati in her political speech at the commemoration of the 49th anniversary of PDIP, quoted by Antara, Monday, January 10.
According to him, Indonesia has been independent for 76 years, but similar problems still occur. He considered his statement as an auto critique of the government.
"76 years of independence, it's just like that, what's wrong, this is auto criticism. I also criticized when (still) in the DPR," said the Fifth President of the Republic of Indonesia.
He assessed that the problem of increasing basic commodities had occurred since he was still in the DPR seat. Megawati also often asked the farmers about the increase.
"My food every day, I have to go where it is because the farmers asked Mega's mother to come, because why does the price of onions seem to be falling. Because my area is Central Java. Yes, I ran to Central Java, I asked why and why," he said.
