JAKARTA - The Secretary General (Secretary General) of the DPR RI Indra Iskandar clarified about the comfort of the new seats that members of the DPR complained about. He said the chairs were old stock in the warehouse because the seats for a number of DPR members on the commission were damaged.

"That was last year's chair, from two years ago, it has only been used now from the warehouse," Indra Iskandar told reporters, Tuesday, March 22. Indra explained that the replacement of seats for members of the DPR was carried out because the old seats were damaged in the springs. Because according to him, the seats in the Commission IX room of the DPR have been used for more than five years.

"It's an old chair. If Commission IX is the last chair, is it 2013 or not, the spring is no longer functioning," he explained.

In addition to the damaged spring, said Indra, the foam from the old seats of DPR members was also bitten by rats. However, about how much the budget for the seats is, Indra admits he doesn't know it by heart.

"In the second KK II, I don't know which room was replaced. When I went to KK II I also saw that it was replaced with a new one. Because I saw that some of it had been eaten by rats (the foam), many had holes in it," he said. Indra said that the replacement of seats was not only carried out in Commission IX of the DPR. But even in other commissions, the damaged chairs were also replaced. In fact, he said, the DPR had already prepared proper seats two years ago.

"Not in Commission IX, in several commissions we also replace. That's the stock from two years ago, from January 2020, the BMN number is on the seat," he said. damaged can not be done one by one, but replaced as a whole per commission. If replaced one by one, according to Indra, unsightly.

"It's already stocked to prepare if something is damaged or something. We can't be one on one, usually on a commission like that. If we replace one by one, it's weird," concluded Indra. Previously, Member of Commission IX DPR RI Faction PAN Saleh Partaonan Daulay complained about the new seats in the DPR meeting room which were considered uncomfortable.

This was stated by Saleh during a working meeting of the House of Representatives Commission IX with Minister of Health Budi Gunadi Sadikin in the Commission IX Meeting Room, Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Tuesday, March 22.

On the sidelines of the meeting, Saleh expressed his views regarding the meeting material. After that, in the end, Saleh complained about the condition of the new chairs in the meeting room.

"I'm a bit uncomfortable technically, these new chairs make me very uncomfortable," said Saleh.

The new chair in the meeting room was said to be in new condition. Saleh suggested that the DPR seats be replaced with the old ones.

"So if I suggest just changing the old chair, it's not clear. This is difficult, they say it's delicious, what's delicious like this," said Saleh.
