JAKARTA - BUMD PT Jakarta Propertindo as the organizer of Formula E and PT Jaya Konstruksi as the cultivator of the circuit said that the cost of constructing the Formula E circuit cost a budget of Rp. 60 billion. This budget comes from company funds PT Jakpro.

However, Member of Commission B of the DKI DPRD from the PDIP faction, Gilbert Simanjuntak, revealed that the cost of constructing the electric car racing track reached Rp75 billion.

Gilbert revealed, it turns out that PT Jaya Konstruksi has made a barrier (track barrier) since 2020, at which time Formula E was still planned at Monas and is now being used in Ancol. The barrier budget is IDR 15 billion from Jakpro company funds.

"It turns out that the barrier is Rp. 15 billion and the cost of constructing the forced track in Ancol is Rp. 60 billion, meaning a total of Rp. 75 billion," Gilbert told reporters, Thursday, March 10.

Gilbert said that Formula E's budgeting problem violated the laws and regulations because neither Jakpro nor the DKI Provincial Government provided data regarding the amount of development costs in a transparent manner to the DPRD.

"Everything is completely unclear, and here we need the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Attorney General's Office, the Police and the KPK to clarify," said Gilbert.

Previously, PDIP had also questioned the Rp60 billion budget for the circuit construction. The problem is, this budget has swelled by Rp. 10 billion, from the initial contract value for the construction of the track of Rp. 50 billion.

This cost is budgeted from Jakpro company funds. This additional cost is due to additional work that is not included in the predictions of Jakpro and Jaya Konstruksi, namely hardening the soil which is still soft.

Gembong Warsono, chairman of the PDIP faction of the DPRD DKI, was surprised that the cost of constructing an electric car racing track could swell beyond the initial prediction. "I'm not just confused anymore, but dizzy," said Gembong.

Although the construction of the circuit uses the company's budget, Jakpro is still a company owned by the DKI Provincial Government. In which, their company's capital investment is taken from the DKI Regional Budget.

Gembong emphasized that Jakpro should be able to run the company to gain profit for the DKI Provincial Government.

"What Jakpro uses are funds from the people of Jakarta. That's the problem. Jakpro has money based on what the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has given through capital participation, right," said Gembong.

"This means, Jakpro was ordered by the DKI Government to look for money to make a profit. Well, it's not good to just stop. But this all happened because Jakpro was forced to know about issues that he didn't know about," he continued.
