JAKARTA - Commission D of the DKI Jakarta DPRD summoned the ranks of the DKI Provincial Government and two BUMDs in a working meeting today to question the certainty of the construction of the Sunter Intermediate Treatment Facility (ITF).
As is known, the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan has carried out the groundbreaking of the Sunter ITF since 2018, but until now the construction has not been carried out.
Initially, the BUMD PT Jakarta Propertindo as the cultivator of the Sunter ITF implemented a business to business scheme for the construction of the Sunter ITF.
Actually, investors have been obtained, namely a power plant company from Finland, Fortum Power Heat and Oy. However, Fortune doubts that the Sunter ITF can be built and operate as expected. In the end, the company left.
Therefore, the Chairperson of Commission D DPRD DKI Jakarta Ida Mahcepat recommended the executive to build the Sunter ITF with funds taken from the APBD through regional capital participation (PMD) to Jakpro.
"When it comes to the wishes of my friends in the commission, I've tried Sunter ITF using the APBD, in the amendment (Amendment to the Revised Budget) to propose. Still, those who manage Jakpro, let it run," said Ida after a meeting at the DKI DPRD Building, Monday, May 23.
According to Ida, the use of the APBD is the last solution in financing the Sunter ITF. Because, if the DKI Provincial Government is still looking for investors, the construction of the Sunter ITF will still stagnate.
Meanwhile, if you borrow the national economic recovery fund (PEN) from the central government through the state-owned company PT SMI, the budget will swell to Rp5.2 trillion because the DKI Provincial Government is burdened with loan interest.
"What I'm worried about is that if they look for another third party, this will take a long time because there are many interests, the winner is not as expected. Why are we pushing to use the APBD scheme by means of PMD. We can afford it," said Ida.
Moreover, PMD budgeting for ITF Sunter to Jakpro can be done in stages over three years. "This cost can be reduced. Pak Widi (Director of PT Jakpro) said, it could be reduced below Rp4 trillion, it still can. 2023, and (APBD 2024," he added.
