Surprised That The DKI Provincial Government Will Auction 21 Old Transjakarta Buses, Only Seats, DPRD: That's A Rongsokan
JAKARTA - Member of Commission C of the DKI Jakarta DPRD S. Andyka admitted that he was surprised by the condition of the old Transjakarta buses that will be auctioned off by the DKI Provincial Government. The reason is that there are 21 Transjakarta buses, which now only have pieces of chairs to wheels remaining.These 21 Transjakarta fleets are included in the 417 buses whose assets will be removed and then auctioned off by the DKI Provincial Government. The deletion of these assets requires licensing from the DKI Jakarta DPRD.For this surprise, Andyka said that the DKI DPRD had not approved the abolition of the asset. This is because Andyka found that some of the buses whose use has not exceeded the operational period and some have not even been used.Meanwhile, Transjakarta buses that are included in the assets of operational service vehicles (KDO) can only be removed after being used for 8 years."21 buses that live in seats, only cylinders, that's a junk. This should not be considered an easy matter. If only the seats are auctioned, oh my, that means they have been completely destroyed, right. Meanwhile, the name KDO uses 8 years," said Andyka when contacted, Friday, March 10.Therefore, until now Commission C has not approved the proposed removal of assets on 417 Transjakarta buses proposed by the DKI Provincial Government.The DPRD, said Andyka, had not received a complete explanation of the documents at the beginning of the procurement of the Transjakarta bus, a study on the feasibility of asset removal, to the alignment of the auction value that will enter the regional treasury.Based on the calculation of the DKI Provincial Government in 2021, the 417 buses whose assets will be removed have the potential to have an auction value of IDR 21 billion.Meanwhile, said Andyka, in the procurement about ten years ago, the price of one Transjakarta bus unit purchased at the beginning of procurement reached Rp800 million to Rp1.8 billion.This value is also still being questioned by the DKI DPRD. Andyka said that the members of the council must know the condition of the shrinkage of assets in the old buses that will now be auctioned off."What we want to check is that these (buses) have been operating for several years until they can be destroyed like this. There are also cars that have not been used, eh, the widowers are damaged. Meanwhile, the KDO use period is 8 years," said Andyka."If there is a problem with the procurement process, yes, during the process of removing the assets, don't have problems anymore. We don't want to be like that. We have to apply the principle of prudence, it must be based on the regulations," he added.
