JAKARTA - Member of the Gerindra faction of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Mohamad Taufik, does not agree if the financial report on the implementation of Formula E is disclosed to the public. In this case, the PDIP faction questioned the closedness of the financial statements.
"Is there an obligation to reveal it to the public? Indeed (Formula E) is like a tromole (referring donations) to a mosque? The income must be announced," Taufik told reporters, Thursday, September 8.
Moreover, said Taufik, there has been a certain mechanism to examine and disclose all government financial reports based on the annual budget. This financial audit process is carried out by the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK).
"Right, there is already an audit agency, namely BPK. BPK has the right to assess government finances," said Taufik.
Previously, the PDIP faction of the DKI Jakarta DPRD made a statement that it still needed clarity regarding the transparency of the budget for the implementation of Formula E, both on the expenditure side to the benefits obtained.
In the interruption at the plenary meeting regarding the results of the discussion on the Raperda on the accountability of the implementation of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Budget (P2APBD) for the 2021 budget year, a member of the PDIP faction, Wa Ode Herlina, said that until now the DPRD had not received the financial report for the Formula E event.
"Currently, we have completed the implementation of Formula E, but there are no reports of financial losses to the public, therefore through this plenary forum, I ask that we, the DPRD plenary session, decide to ask for a transparent governor's explanation as it is related to the finances of the implementation of Formula E," said Wa Ode at a plenary meeting held on Tuesday, September 6.
Meanwhile, a member of the PDIP faction, Syahrial also stated that so far PT Jakpro as the BUMD that organizes Formula E or the DKI Provincial Government itself has never provided an audit result regarding the Formula E budget, even though it has been requested several times.
This is what causes PDIP to still ask for an explanation of the electric car racing event, during the term of office of DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan, which will end in about a month.
"Since 2019 until now, we have never received a report from the Governor (Anies) regarding the implementation of Formula E Jakarta. We are worried that if we don't ask now, the governor's brother will no longer be here," he said.
What is a concern for the PDIP, if Formula E continues to be held the following year without any clarity regarding the implementation budget, this will be a hassle for the work of the Acting Governor of DKI who will lead Jakarta from 2022 to 2024.
"So please explain clearly so that this problem does not arise in a new Acting Officer who will get problems if he can't answer, the origin is not clear," said Syahrial.
