JAKARTA - Komika Pandji Pragiwaksono strongly defended the Rp 0 home down payment (DP) program launched by Anies Baswedan.

At that time, Pandji was one of the success teams of Anies Baswedan and Sandiaga Uno when they faced the incumbent Basuki Tjahaja Purnama alias Ahok and Djarot Saiful Hidayat in the 2017 Pilkada DKI Jakarta.

The debate between Pandji and Ahok's success team, represented by Emmy Hafild and Ace Hasan Syadzily, was broadcast on the Mata Najwa MetroTv program in 2017. A piece of debate between them was shared by social media activist Eko Kuntadhi on his twitter, @eko_kuntadhi, Thursday, March 19.

"Is it delicious, Dji, cheated by an idol ?," Eko tweeted.

In the 0.41 second video clip, Pandji said that Jakarta residents with an income of Rp. 4-7 million per month can be helped to own a house through the Anies program.

"This is for Jakarta residents earning Rp. 4-7 million per month, this family is for people who are not formal or informal workers. You are a photographer, you are a YouTuber, this is the program for you," said Pandji furiously.

He continued, many residents of the capital are confused about owning a house. So, the existence of this program is to answer the confusion, that people with an income of Rp. 4-7 million can have a dwelling.

"Thinking I want to get married or want to have a house, what do you think? This could be a program for you. Many people think this is a program, ah this doesn't make sense, poor people can't be like that! I campaigned for the DP Rp0 program on social media, it's clear. who is being targeted, "he said.

Emmy Hafild denied this Pandji statement. For Emmy, the Rp. 0 DP house is not given free of charge. Creditors must pay installments each month. If the target is middle to lower class citizens, how is it possible to pay monthly installments with mediocre income?

"So this is credit, you use the APBD to subsidize a commercial housing scheme because everyone can buy a house anywhere, it's commercial. Now for those who have even paid down their DP, each month they have to pay Rp. 2-3 million,"

"People whose income is Rp. 4 million is clear, (paying DP) of Rp. 2.3 million is not possible. That is the minimum, especially if it is 30%," he said.

Receiving this rebuttal, Pandji again gave a rebuttal. For him, first and foremost there must be partiality. During Ahok's period, the DKI Provincial Government provided a subsidy in which people with an income of Rp. 10 million were given a subsidy of Rp. 2-3 million to pay their house installments.

Emmy immediately denied Pandji's statement. According to him, Ahok never provided subsidies because residents with an income of Rp10 million would go to KPR.
