JAKARTA - It turns out that the DKI Provincial Government has overpaid in the procurement of fire cars amounting to IDR 6.5 billion. This was revealed in the findings of the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK).
Secretary General of the Indonesian Forum for Budget Transparency (FITRA), Misbah Hasan questioned how the performance of the Corruption Prevention Committee for the Capital City which was formed by the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan.
Since taking office, Anies established the Capital Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) as one of the areas in the Governor's Team for the Acceleration of Development (TGUPP). The Capital Corruption Eradication Commission is chaired by Bambang Widjojanto.
"With this case, the performance of the Corruption Prevention Committee is questionable," said Misbah when contacted by VOI, Monday, April 19.
Misbah said, the occurrence of overpayments usually occurs because the goods procurement process does not follow the standard price for goods set by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government itself.
If it escapes the BPK's examination, said Misbah, this will open up gaps in corruption practices by the ranks of the DKI Provincial Government. Here, the role of the Capital City Corruption Eradication Commission should be to prevent potential corruption. However, they are not heard from their performance.
"So far, irregularities in the budgeting process in DKI have made this committee not make a sound," he said.
