JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan finally responded to the request for the interpellation rights of 33 members of the DKI DPRD regarding Formula E. Anies invited members of the PDIP and PSI factions to carry out the interpellation.

"That is the right of the council and it is processed at the council. Let it run, it is processed internally by the council, because it does not concern us," said Anies when met in the West Jakarta area, Friday, August 27.

This is because Anies considers that interpellation is the right of DPRD members as a legislative body. He didn't want to interfere.

"So, this is something that is attached to DPRD members. This is a proposal in the council which will later be processed internally in the council," said Anies.

Yesterday, a group of DPRD members from the PDIP and PSI factions came to the room of the Chairperson of the DKI DPRD, Prasetio Edi Marsudi, to propose an interpellation right on Formula E. They came together with the hope that the interpellation could be realized.

The interpellation application letter, along with the signatures of the DPRD members who proposed it, were already in Prasetio's hands. After this, the DPRD will determine a timetable for holding a plenary meeting to decide whether the interpellation can be held or not.

In order to approve the implementation of the interpellation, DPRD members who are present at the plenary meeting must meet a quorum of 50 percent + 1 or as many as 54 DPRD members.

Currently, there are only 33 DPRD members who have proposed the interpellation of Formula E. Therefore, PDIP and PSI will lobby DPRD members from other factions to participate in plenary meetings.

PDIP faction member Ima Mahdiah said that the support of other faction members in criticizing the implementation of Formula E could be realized by attending a plenary meeting. This is because the number of DPRD members who propose interpellation is not sufficient to meet the quorum in the plenary meeting.

"We hope that friends who may want to come forward as individuals, can attend the plenary forum. Because if we only have 33 people in the plenary session, we lose votes. We cannot continue the interpellation," said Ima.
