PSI Wants Anies' Interpellation, Gerindra: Just Wishful Thinking

ILLUSTRATION / DPRD DKI -VOI

JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Gerindra Party faction member Syarif is reluctant to follow the steps of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) which submitted a proposal for interpellation rights to DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan regarding the flood problem.

Syarif doubts PSI understands the intent and purpose of rolling out the right of interpellation. According to him, PSI also did not know the substance of the Capital City flood problem which had hit since a long time ago.

"It's just wishful thinking that is impossible to come true. PSI does not understand interpellation, because it does not understand the background and substance to be interpolated. So, it is merely a political dream," said Syarif when contacted, Friday, February 26.

Syaeif considered that the floods that hit Jakarta should be fully blamed on the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government. This is because the flood factor is not only due to heavy rain, it is water from the upstream.

That is why DKI Pemprov has a joint program with the central government, in this case the Ministry of PUPR, to carry out river normalization.

"There are many reasons for the flood. Do you want to interpellate the policies of the Bogor, Depok and also the Preside or Minister of PUPR?" his smallpox

Because of this, Syarif predicted that the PSI interpellation proposal would not be approved by other parties. "How do other factions agree, they must first understand what interpellation is. This is where PSI is not smart in its background, let alone the regulations must be supported by other factions. So it is impossible," said Syarif.

Previously, Deputy Chairperson of the PSI DPRD DKI Fraction Justin Untayana said that his party had submitted the right to interpellation regarding the Jakarta floods to the DPRD leadership. If it happens, Anies must explain the causes of the flooding problem that occurred.

"We take this interpellation as the last constitutional way. This is PSI's moral and political responsibility towards the citizens of Jakarta, especially those who were harmed by the floods due to the failure and lack of seriousness of Governor Anies in managing flood management, ”said Justin.

The condition is that interpellation is proposed by at least 15 DPRD members and more than one faction. Justin admitted that he had "lobbied" other party factions to plan an interpellation meeting.

Justin is confident that a number of factions they spoke to also agree with the agenda. "We are sure other parties also admit that the governor's handling of floods is still not optimal," said Justin.

"For parties that have similar views, we hope this can be a strong joint movement in the DPRD. We ask for a clear explanation from the Governor. We have launched this right of interpellation for the sake of humanity and social justice for all Jakarta citizens," he continued.
