KALTENG - The DPRD and the Central Kalimantan (Kalteng) Provincial Government agreed to provide a budget for the 2024 Regional Head Election (Pilkada) amounting to Rp180 billion.
Chairman of Commission I for Finance and Government of the Central Kalimantan DPRD, Yohannes Freddy Ering, revealed that the cost agreement for the Pilkada in Central Kalimantan has been regulated in a regional regulation (perda) regarding the formation of a reserve fund for the 2024 Pilkada.
"The provision of the reserve fund is through the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD) for 2022 and 2023. For 2022, Rp. 90 billion has been reserved and the remaining Rp. 90 billion is in the 2023 APBD," Ering said in Palangka Raya, quoted from Antara, Thursday, June 9.
The Rp 90 billion budget provided by the DPRD and the Central Kalimantan Provincial Government in the 2022 APBD will be distributed in stages or quarterly to the General Election Commission (KPU) and the local Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu).
Freddy said that although the administrative process for disbursing or distributing the Rp90 billion reserve fund was gradual, the Regional Grant Agreement Memorandum (NPHD) had been carried out by the DPRD with the provincial government and Central Kalimantan KPU and Central Kalimantan Bawaslu.
"Now it's just a matter of how the Central Kalimantan KPU and Central Kalimantan Bawaslu comply with the NPHD that has been agreed and signed," he said.
As for what needs to be taken into account by the Central Kalimantan KPU and Central Kalimantan Bawaslu as managers of the 2024 regional election reserve funds, namely, the placement or depositing of the funds must be in a regionally-owned bank, in this case the Central Kalimantan Bank.
The Central Kalimantan legislator said that his party as the people's representative would strictly oversee the location of the reserve fund storage. Because, according to the considerations in the NPHD, the deposit can only be in regionally owned banks.
"We also continue to remind the Central Kalimantan KPU and Central Kalimantan Bawaslu to comply with these considerations and manage their budget properly and correctly," he concluded.
