JAKARTA - Chairman of the PSI faction of the DKI DPRD Idris Ahmad satirized the seven factions who were not present at the plenary meeting to determine the interpellation of Formula E, yesterday.

In fact, Idris said the interpellation plenary meeting was an official forum to express his opinion on the provincial government's program, in this case Formula E.

He regretted the attitude of other factions who preferred to meet with the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan in the dinner agenda at the Governor's official residence rather than taking his time to attend the official forum.

"Governor Anies has been treated to his full meal, now he's skipping meetings. We are not a parliament where we eat, but the real parliament that speaks in an honorable forum, namely the plenary meeting of the DKI Jakarta DPRD,” Idris told reporters, Wednesday, September 29.

Idris said that the absence of the seven factions in the plenary session of the interpellation showed that they did not respect the democratic process.

According to him, the seven factions should have given the opportunity to hear the PDIP and PSI convey the reasons for proposing the right of interpellation at the plenary session. Only then did they decide whether to approve Formula E or not.

"If you really want to refuse the interpellation, just refuse it with the knights in the meeting forum. Don't refuse only in the media and in the restaurants out there. Why are you shouting outside the forum that has been set?" he shouted.

Previously, seven factions in the DKI DPRD stated that they did not want to come to the plenary meeting room today. Deputy Chairman of the DKI DPRD from the Gerindra faction, Mohamad Taufik, emphasized that the seven factions would not attend the plenary meeting because the agenda was considered illegal.

"Seven factions and four deputy chairmen of the DKI DPRD stated that the plenary meeting held on Tuesday, September 28 was not worth attending because it was an illegal act," said Taufik.

Taufik considers that the interpellation plenary schedule decided by Prasetyo violates Article 80 Paragraph 3 of Regional Regulation Number 1 of 2020 concerning the Order of the DKI DPRD.

The plenary schedule of the interpellation was decided in the meeting of the Jakarta DPRD Deliberative Body (Bamus) yesterday. However, said Taufik, there was no inclusion of the Formula E interpellation in the discussion list of the previous Bamus invitation.

In this case, the interpellation discussion was inserted during the Bamus meeting. "There are seven agendas (in the invitation to the Bamus meeting). The interpellation agenda does not exist," said Taufik.

Until finally, the Chairman of the DKI DPRD was forced to postpone the continuation of the interpellation plenary meeting which started yesterday.

This is because the meeting only presented 32 members of the DKI DPRD, consisting of 25 members of the PDIP faction and 7 members of the PSI faction. Thus, this meeting did not meet the 50 percent attendance quorum + 1 DPRD member or as many as 54 council members.

Thus, to be able to hold a plenary meeting again, the Jakarta DPRD Deliberative Body (Bamus) must re-schedule the interpellation plenary meeting with the same agenda, namely the explanation of the interpellation proposer. However, rescheduling in the Bamus meeting has not been determined.

After the explanation agenda for the interpellation proposer, the plenary agenda was followed by an agenda for the general views of the DKI DPRD factions regarding the interpellation proposal. Then, the third agenda is to make a decision whether the interpellation will be carried out or not.
