JAKARTA - Deputy Speaker of the DPR, Adies Kadir, has been in the spotlight of netizens after saying that there has been an increase in DPR allowances, including rice allowances which are claimed to increase to Rp. 12 million per month and transportation allowances to Rp. 7 million per month.
A day later, Adies corrected his statement on Wednesday, August 20. He stated that the fixed rice allowance was IDR 200 thousand per month since 2010. What has changed is that there are no more official housing facilities.
Instead, they receive housing allowances of around Rp. 50 million per month. Various comments from netizens flooded the social media of members of the Indonesian House of Representatives, condemning the increase in allowances amid the economic difficulties faced by the people.
What's more, the salaries and allowances of the DPR use the State Budget or APBN. The anger of netizens is getting worse because of the viral video of a number of DPR members dancing happily, it is considered as not empathizing with the people.
