Chairman of the PDIP faction of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Gembong Warsono, said that his party would propose to form a special committee (pansus) to investigate problems in the construction of the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) in the near future.

This proposal will be submitted to the Chairman of the DKI DPRD, Prasetyo Edi Marsudi, for further discussion at a Deliberative Body meeting related to the purpose of forming a special committee.

"This week we send a letter of proposal from the special committee to the leadership of the council so that we can follow up. Hopefully this can disburse polemics in the community," Gembong told reporters, Monday, July 17.

Referring to Regional Regulation (Perda) Number 1 of 2020 concerning the Order of the DKI Jakarta Provincial DPRD, the special committee is regulated in Article 114 and Article 115.

The stipulation was that the special committee was formed in a plenary meeting at the suggestion of DPRD members. The number of members of the special committee is set at a maximum of 25 people. The special committee members consist of members of the related commission proposed by each faction.

However, Gembong realized that the proposal to form the JIS special committee was not necessarily approved by the leadership of the council. If the special committee is not approved, Gembong said that the investigation to recommendations for solving the JIS infrastructure problem could be resolved through commission meetings by summoning PT Jakarta Propertindo (Jakpro) as the manager.

"The board's supervision is not the only one in the special committee, it can also be through commissions. For example, members of the factions in the five commissions, we have ordered to try asking the leaders of each commission to be scheduled to evaluate the SKPD related to JIS. Jakpro itself is in Commission B and C, the Sports Office itself is in commission E," he explained.

Previously, the chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Prasetyo Edi Marsudi, questioned the urgency of forming a special committee (pansus) to investigate problems in the development of JIS.

This JIS special committee proposal was submitted by a member of the PDIP faction of the DKI Jakarta DPRD because he considered that the construction of JIS was proven problematic after the clarification from Buro Happold emerged.

Buro Happold emphasized that his party was not asked to design the JIS stadium and had never designed this stadium. Buro Happold was only asked to create a design guide. However, the company's review results identified several aspects that did not match the original design concept guide from Buro Happold.

Prasetyo admitted that he could not immediately agree even though this proposal came from members of the same faction with him.

"As chairman of the DPRD, I oversee 9 factions. What are my friends proposing, they must also be able to consider. What is the urgency?" said Prasetyo at the DKI Jakarta DPRD building, Wednesday, July 12.

However, Prasetyo emphasized that the special committee could be formed after receiving consideration from the DKI DPRD Deliberative Body (Bamus) chaired by the Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD. Moreover, Prasetyo said he would grant the formation of a special committee if it met the elements of emergency conditions.

"Until now I have not received the letter of proposal (pansus JIS). Then if the letter is already there, I ask first what is the urgency? If all the problems are made a problem, it will not be resolved," he said.
