Still Lobbying Other Factions Participate In Formula E Interpellation, PDIP: Positive Responses

Chairman of the PDIP Faction of DPRD DKI Gembong Warsono/DOK VOI-Diah Ayu

JAKARTA - Chairman of the PDIP faction of the DKI DPRD Gembong Warsono explained the progress of their political lobbies to members of other factions to participate in proposing the right to interpellate Formula E.

Gembong said that currently there has been a positive response from other faction members regarding the interpellation proposal. However, Gembong was reluctant to reveal the names of the council members.

"The progress is good. The results of the lobbying have positive responses from other friends," said Gembong when contacted, Thursday, September 16.

However, it is not enough to stop there. Gembong hoped that the members of the DPRD from the other faction he mentioned would be present at the plenary meeting to determine whether the interpellation could be realized or not.

This is because only 33 DPRD members from the PDIP and PSI factions have signed the letter of proposal for the right of interpellation. Meanwhile, if it is to be realized, the DPRD must hold a plenary meeting to ratify the interpellation.

In the plenary meeting, the members present must meet a quorum of 50 percent + 1, or as many as 54 of the total 106 DPRD members.

"Hopefully the positive response will be followed up later to convey his position in the plenary session on the interpellation. Hopefully, our friends from other factions will join," said Gembong.

So far, Gembong admitted that there is no schedule to determine the plenary meeting to ratify the interpellation. This is because before the plenary session is held, the Jakarta DPRD Deliberative Body (Bamus) will first determine the schedule for the plenary meeting.

"Right now, the ball is in the leadership of the board. This means that the leadership of the next stage of the board is to schedule (the plenary) through the Deliberative Body. Just waiting for the bamus," he said.
