JAKARTA - Social media activist Denny Siregar asked the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to have the courage to investigate the funds disbursed by the DKI Provincial Government to the Formula E car racing event.

At the same time eliminating the notion that there was a 'sense of brotherhood' between the KPK and the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government. Denny himself did not explain directly what this feeling of brotherhood meant.

"Don't close your eyes, if that's true, let alone the public associating the sense of brotherhood between KPK officials and DKI Jakarta Provincial Government officials", Denny explained on the CokroTV Youtube channel, Tuesday, March 9.

According to Denny, the Formula E funds deposited by the DKI Provincial Government have become the public's attention. Do not let the alleged corruption of the President Director of Sarana Jaya be inactive, Yoory Corneles Pinontoan, over the land acquisition for the Rumah DP Rp.0 Program.

"Do not let the KPK make these arrests to divert public attention from the hundreds of billions of rupiahs that have been deposited by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government for the implementation of Formula e which failed and the money has not been returned until now".

"That is a very clear case insight and has never been touched by the KPK until now. Dare the KPK to investigate the formula funds, if they can buy land then Formula E too", he said.

Formula E is planned to be held on June 6, 2020. However, Anies postponed the implementation because the COVID-19 pandemic entered Indonesia.

The postponement of Formula E is contained in the letter of the Governor of DKI Number 117/-1.857.73. This letter is addressed to the Jakarta E-Prix Organizing Committee on March 9, 2020.

Even though it is postponed, DKI still pays an annual commitment fee. The commitment fee is paid annually for five years, with two terms per year. In August 2019, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has paid the first and second terms of £ 10 million that also paid in December 2019.

Until finally the COVID-19 outbreak broke out. The budget has been tampered with so that it can be allocated for handling the coronavirus. However, DKI is still budgeting £ 11 million for the first-term payment in 2020. In total, 31 pounds have been disbursed.

Then, the DKI Provincial Government also plans to pay a commitment fee in 2021 of £ 24.2 million. In 2022 it will pay back £ 26.6 million, in 2023 it will be £ 26.6 million and in 2024 £ 29.2 million. This payment is still being made so that the five-season racing event can be postponed and starts next year.
