JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta DPRD has not yet allowed the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government to remove assets and auctions of 417 old Transjakarta buses. In fact, the proposed removal and sale of the bus was submitted a year ago.
Member of Commission C DPRD DKI Jakarta S. Andyka asked the DKI Provincial Government not to only think about the profits from the sale of hundreds of old Transjakarta buses.
This is because the DPRD is worried that the removal of assets and sales of the 417 buses will cause legal problems in the future.
Moreover, there have been legal cases that occurred in the Transjakarta bus procurement project. In 2013, the former Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency, Udar Pristono, was proven to have committed corruption in the procurement of the Transjakarta bus fleet worth IDR 1 trillion.
"There's no need to talk about increasing local revenue from the auction results. It's too far. We need to think now is the process of removing assets going well," said Andyka, quoted Friday, May 17.
Before removing and auctioning the bus, Andyka asked the DKI Provincial Government to resolve legal cases on several buses that were proven legally flawed during the procurement process.
"Don't follow if the asset procurement process is problematic, don't let the removal process cause problems behind you. We don't want to," said Andyka.
"We don't want it after we issue a recommendation to agree, the removal of assets after that turns out to be a problem. This must be conveyed to us, convince us that later in the process of removing these assets will be soft landing," he added.
In March 2023, the DKI Provincial Government proposed the removal of assets of 417 Transjakarta bus units to the DKI Jakarta DPRD. The reason is that the bus has been damaged, has reached the age it deserves to be removed, and the maintenance costs are more expensive than the benefits of its use.
When proposing the removal of assets, the DKI Transportation Agency said that this Transjakarta bus would be sold or moved hands to other parties by auction with a value of Rp. 21.3 billion.

Before granting permission to remove assets, the DKI DPRD is still reviewing the feasibility of removing Transjakarta bus assets along with matching the auction value that can be received by the DKI Provincial Government.
