JAKARTA - Deputy Minister of Home Affairs (Wamendagri) Bima Arya highlighted the allocation of regional revenue and expenditure budgets (APBD) for a number of local governments. He said, there were still many who did not meet the target.
This was conveyed by Bima after filling out the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) broadcast. The politician from the National Mandate Party (PAN) said that many budgets were issued for activities that had no impact on the community.
"The Ministry of Home Affairs records have many budgets allocated for things that are not urgent, do not touch the people. The cost of eating and drinking, the cost of office stationery, the cost of a working visit, official travel," Bima told reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Thursday, January 23.
In addition, Bima also mentioned that there are still local governments that use the APBD for the program to eradicate tengkes or stunting. However, the allocation turned out to be unrelated because the money was actually for a working visit.
"Many of these areas whose activities are stunting eradication, but 60 percent of the budget is for work visits, for official travel. It's not connected. For poverty eradication, many seminars and others," he said.
"So the president's directive is right on how the APBD is corrected so that it is direct," he continued.

In the future, Bima reminded that the APBD allocation must be right on target according to President Prabowo Subianto's direction. Local governments must be more careful.
"The president, for example, said that elementary schools must be properly built, not to have a free food kitchen, but then schools are not feasible. Well, that's okay, don't say that the regions don't have money when the allocation is spent on things that are not substantive," he concluded.
