JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government (Pemprov) has followed up on a viral video showing alleged misuse of official vehicles by officials for non-official purposes.
The video shows a police car allegedly belonging to the DKI Provincial Government being stopped by police officers in the Puncak area, Bogor. In the footage, the vehicle was found to be using a white license plate, not a red license plate as it should be for a government vehicle.
The DKI Jakarta Regional Asset Management Agency (BPAD) ensures that this action violates the rules for the use of official vehicles. Head of BPAD DKI Jakarta Faisal Syafruddin said that his party immediately conducted an internal investigation after the video went viral on social media.
"We emphasize that the use of official vehicles must be in accordance with the provisions and provisions. The use of official vehicles for non-official purposes is not justified. Currently, we have conducted internal investigations and coordinated with the Inspectorate for further examination in accordance with applicable regulations," said Faisal in Jakarta, Tuesday, April 7.
This case is of concern because in the video, the driver admitted that the original license plate of the vehicle was red. He was then asked by the officer to replace the plate according to the provisions.
One of the passengers had an excuse that they had just attended office activities and changed the plate so that it was not conspicuous. However, the officer emphasized that the official vehicle must still use the red plate.
After the plate was replaced, the officer asked for the white plate that was used to secure it and reminded the driver not to repeat his actions. There was no fine in the incident.
BPAD said this incident would be the subject of internal evaluation, especially in the supervision of the use of regional assets.
"This incident is an evaluation for us to strengthen supervision and ensure that all employees are more disciplined and responsible in the use of official vehicles and other regional assets," said Faisal.
"We apologize to the public for the inconvenience caused. The attention and input from the public is an important part of strengthening transparent and accountable governance," he continued.
