DKI DPRD Values Emergency PPKM Decided By Jokowi Difficult To Implement

DKI DPRD/VOI

JAKARTA - Chairman of Commission A of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Mujiyono, assessed that the Implementation of Emergency Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) would be difficult to implement at this time.

This is because DKI's current finances are not sufficient to implement Micro PPKM in Jakarta, so assistance from the central government is needed.

"If the central government doesn't help, the DKI's economy will fall apart, our PAD (Regional Original Revenue) will fall," said Mujiono, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, June 30.

DKI PAD realization, said Mujiyono, is currently still low. As of last May, he stated that the PAD realization was approximately 18 percent.

"Now it's different from the past when in March 2020 (the beginning of the pandemic), DKI has the money, not to mention there is a regional reserve fund of Rp1.4 trillion, that's enough and I can do extra tight PPKM or lockdown or whatever it's called," said Mujiyono.

Therefore, Mujiyono asked that before implementing Emergency PPKM the provincial government needed to consider the regional financial balance. Moreover, he said, it was difficult to "refocus" the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD) to allocate the funds needed during the Emergency PPKM.

"That is, if the figures are shifted, what about DKI cash flow? What remains to be considered is the realization of PAD," he said.

Jokowi Decides on Java-Bali Emergency PPKM

President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) said the government would implement an Emergency Community Activity Restriction (PPKM) to suppress the spread of COVID-19 in Java and Bali.

There is also the reason for choosing the two islands for the implementation of Emergency PPKM because there are 44 cities and regencies in six provinces that have poor assessment scores. This is because the rate of transmission of COVID-19 is still quite high in the area.

He said this assessment was in accordance with the COVID-19 transmission rate indicators issued by the World Health Organization (WHO).

"Decided Emergency PPKM, especially Java and Bali. Because here 44 regencies and cities and six provinces have four assessment scores," said Jokowi when opening the VIII National Conference (Munas) of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN) in Kendari, Southeast Sulawesi, Wednesday, June 30.

Jokowi said that from a number of areas on the islands of Java and Bali, the transmission of COVID-19 was massive and evenly distributed to the RT and RW levels.

"An example of a map is in West Jakarta. RT, RW, and village affected by COVID-19 can see that it is like that, meaning that it is evenly distributed, so there must be a firm decision to resolve this problem," said Jokowi.

"Conditions like this must be conveyed as they are," he added.
