JAKARTA - Chairman of Commission II of the DPR Ahmad Doli Kurnia questioned the background of the General Chairperson of the National Awakening Party (PKB) proposing the abolition or abolition of the governor's position. The reason is, the proposal can damage the structure of government and state administration that has been regulated in the 1945 Constitution (UUD), which has been running for decades in Indonesia. "In my opinion, if we suddenly eliminate a very strategic position to run a government that has been running for decades, it must go through a fairly in-depth study," said Doli at the Golkar Party DPP office, Slipi, West Jakarta, Wednesday, February 1. Doli explained that the government structure in Indonesia had been structured in such a way through the 1945 Constitution. So, if suddenly there is a change in structure that takes a very strategic position like the governor, then it takes a lot of effort that must be done and not easy. "So extending the term of office of the village head is not easy, you have to replace the law, let alone want to abolish the governor. That's also not an easy procedure," said Doli. The leader of the commission that manages the government, said that Cak Imin's proposal regarding the elimination of the governor's position has no reference. But if it really is done, a very, very deep study is needed. Because we have eliminated a range of government control that has been going on for a long time," explained Doli As for the reason for the elimination of the position for the efficiency of the budget, Doli said, in the end there must be an overhaul in the structure of Indonesian state administration. Because so far, according to him, the governor's function in government is very significant as a mediator between the central government and local governments. "So we have to study the issue of one of our constitutional structures in the end. If there is a problem of making efficiency or various things, it has a size. What makes us think that the governor is inefficient so far? As far as I know, so far the governor's function has been running well, he is an extension of the central government in the regions," said Doli. "If the governor does not exist, what media or institution can coordinate all development or running of government in the regions? Later it can be lag if suddenly revoked it is the governor," he added. Including returning the governor's election to the DPRD. The deputy chairman of the Golkar Party DPP was surprised that what underlies the governor must be re-elected through the DPRD. In fact, so far the election of governors, regents and mayors through regional head elections (Pilkada) has no problem. "We have to know first why, what is the background? What for example is considered that the performance of the governor so far is not good? Is the gubernatorial election currently considered quite expensive is not proportional to the expected performance? Well, we have to find out first, what is the background. Only then do we study it," explained Doli. "If for example earlier, one of the indications is that the gubernatorial election is too expensive, yes, there can also be those who say that democracy is expensive. But with expensive democracy does it make the way of government effective? Well, it needs to be studied again," he continued. So far, according to Doli, the structure of Indonesian government starting from the central level to the district/city level even the district or village level, has gone well. "If for example we want to change, especially those who are extremely withdrawing from such governorships, we have to do an in-depth study. And the changes are not immediately, yes. This must be a law as well. This is the same as the proposal to extend the village head's life. That alone is not easy, let alone eliminating governors," said Doli.
