JAKARTA - Secretary General (Secretary General) of the House of Representatives, Indra Iskandar, said that the official housing allowance for members of the DPR 2024-2029 was given so that the performance of the people's representatives remained productive.

Indra emphasized that the activities and trials of DPR members were very congested. Therefore, he considered that they should still need to have a decent and calm place to live.

"A consultation meeting has also been held with factions, so that on the 24th yesterday it was decided and agreed that in the future it would be given in the form of allowances," said Indra as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, October 7.

Even so, so far he has not mentioned the nominal allowance for the official house to be given and automatically adds to the salaries of the members of the DPR.

Indra admitted that his party was also conducting surveys to determine the nominal value of the allowance, in collaboration with the appraisal party.

"Later we will see the most realistic amount at what level. We don't want to have the essence of looking for the highest possible value, especially as low as possible, but what is the most realistic," he said.

In determining the nominal, he ensured that his party would implement efficiency and economics, so that the management of state assets and finances would be accountable.

On the other hand, Indra also admitted that he was preparing documents to take the stages of returning the Kalibata DPR housing assets to the state, through the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of State Secretariat.

Regarding the use of the official housing allowance, according to him, the Secretariat General of the DPR has fully handed over to members of the DPR RI to receive it. What is clear, according to him, is that the allowance will be received in the next five years

"So even though we use glasses related to efficiency, it relates to whether he will pay for the house, whether to rent a house. Of course we don't come in, take care of it," he said.
