JAKARTA - Alvin Wijaya's resignation from his position as a member of the Governor's Team for the Acceleration of Development (TGUPP) of DKI surprised the DPRD. The heart intends to investigate, but the council can't do much.

Member of Commission A of the DKI DPRD, Gembong Warsono, said that the DKI Planning and Development Agency (Bappeda) which manages the TGUPP budget has also not made a report on this matter.

"Bappeda has not reported it to Commission A," Gembong told reporters, Tuesday, June 1, May.

Gembong also admitted that his party did not have the authority to summon the TGUPP of DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan to ask for clarification. Because, TGUPP is not a regional apparatus organization (OPD) even though it gets a salary from the DKI Regional Budget.

"Yes, it is impossible for us to call TGUPP because TGUPP is not a regional apparatus organization. Since he is not an OPD, it is impossible for us to summon them," said Gembong.

As is known, Alvin Wijaya resigned from TGUPP. Alvin's resignation was followed up with the issuance of Governor's Decree 632 of 2021.

Deputy Head of DKI Jakarta Bappeda Tri Indrawan said he was reluctant to explain the reason for Alvin's resignation. "Once he resigns, he doesn't need to give a reason for his resignation. It's just that he resigned to that position," Tri said in a meeting with Commission A of the DKI DPRD.

This makes the Member of Commission A DPRD DKI August Hamonangan surprised. "So what Bappeda received was just resigning without any reason?" asked August.

Tri then gave a normative answer. He said, there were four reasons that made TGUPP stop working, namely illness, death, convict suspects, and resignation.

"It is not like that. With his resignation letter, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government accepted to resign from his position," Tri explained.

Before closing the meeting, Chairman of Commission A of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Mujiono, admitted that he was not sure about Tri's answer. He believes that TGUPP members were deliberately dismissed because there was a case against him.

"The conclusion in this meeting, we can not be sure of the answer earlier. There must be a problem so that this TGUPP person is dismissed," he added.

Separately, Member of Commission A of the DKI DPRD, Thopaz Nugraha, suspects that Alvin's resignation is related to the issue of position mafia. However, Topaz did not describe in detail how the issue of the mafia position he heard about.

"We caught the issue in the field that brother AW (Alvin Wijaya) was dismissed due to the mafia position. For that time we will call the related parties, to confirm the truth, but the answer is still a political answer," said Topaz.
