JAKARTA - The many facts that are different from the information conveyed by a number of cabinet ministers have made the Chairman of the DPD RI AA LaNyalla Mahmud Mattalitti need to remind. Because the people and this nation seem to be affected by PHP (false hope givers).

One example is the JETP (Just Energy Transition Partnership) program which is proud as a brilliant result of the G20 meeting in Bali. It turns out that the fact is that it is getting fainter and different from the information that was conveyed at that time.

At that time, it was said that Indonesia had succeeded in obtaining financing of 20 billion US Dollars. To accelerate the green energy transition program. It was said at that time, USD 10 billion in grant assistance, and the remaining USD 10 billion in soft loans. We were happy when we heard that," said LaNyalla, Friday, July 21.

But in fact, continued LaNyalla, 20 billion USD turned out to be all loans. The 10 USD hard loans with commercial interest from world banking syndicates. While the remaining 10 USD soft loans from the G7 plus state. That also remains with interest. Even though it is lower than commercial interest and with a longer tenor.

The pure grant assistance is only 160 million USD, or only 0.8 percent of the total USD 20 billion loan. That is also the allocation for the investment feasibility study. So that the banks and lending countries are sure that the loans will be paid off," explained LaNyalla.

Therefore, LaNyalla Mahmud Mattalitti asked the ministers to pay more attention to the accuracy of the material conveyed to the public. Do not give false hope to the people and this nation. Apart from the fact that the people below are still very difficult for life.

He also asked the government to seriously think about logistical obstacles that contributed weakly to the Logistic Performance Index Indonesia ranking. Including the poor ICOR (Incremental Capital Output Ratio) figure. So that Indonesia becomes an uncompetitive country in terms of cost investment.

Don't keep spreading honey on your nose, or like giving a wind of heaven. But the reality on the ground is different. This is important to pay attention to ministers, so that President Jokowi also gets valid information," concluded LaNyalla Mahmud Mattalitti.
