YOGYAKARTA The implementation of technical guidance (Bimtek) for the Voting Organizing Group (KPPS) for the 2024 General Election is being highlighted by many parties. Not a few participants have questioned whether bimtek received honorariums and how much is the pocket money for the 2024 KPPS election?

The debate over the KPPS bimtek pocket money was widely discussed on social media X (Twitter) on Thursday, January 25, 2024, after a number of participants who attended the inauguration and technical guidance in Sleman Regency, DI Yogyakarta admitted that they received inappropriate pocket money and food. In fact, the contents of the snack are considered not much different from the snack lelayu.

"A class of regency KPUs provides consumption for the inauguration of simultaneous KPPSs throughout the district like this? There is no transport money and lunch. Snacks are not much different from in lelayu," wrote the account @yourfuture****.

Furthermore, there is also a photo of the contents of snacks for KPPS, in the form of mineral water for plastic cups of bread soup and small foods in plastic containing four pills.

Another upload that also went viral came from the @iniaz*** account claiming to be a member of the Sleman Regency KPPS. In his upload, he claims that he only gets snacks and transport money in the amount of Rp. 35,000 from the Sleman KPU.

On the other hand, some netizens claim that the inauguration of KPPS in other regencies/cities gets better snacks and higher transport is up to IDR 100,000-IDR 150,000.

After a pocket money polemic appeared on social media, KPU Sleman released a video clarifying. In the video uploaded by the @Merapi_Un**** account on X, KPU Sleman explained that there was an error by the third seed or vendor who procured consumption for the inauguration of KPPS members. In addition, in various reports, KPU Sleman stated that it would raise the pocket of KPPS officers in Sleman from Rp. 30,000 to Rp. 50,000.

The General Election Commission (KPU) of the Republic of Indonesia also opened its voice regarding the amount of the 2024 KPPS bimtek pocket money. They said that the bimtek pocket money received by KPPS officers was different in each region.

This was conveyed by the KPU in an Instagram account when answering questions from netizens about the amount of transportation money or the KPPS bimtek pocket money.

The difference in KPPS pocket money refers to the budget for each work unit (satker) or service which is also different.

However, things are in accordance with the standards set by the Ministry of Finance and local Regional Regulations (Perda).

In that standard, it is regulated the amount of consumption costs, official travel, and daily money. Likewise with the disbursement mechanisms and rules that refer to the budget management of ABPN.

"The amount is different according to the standards set by the Ministry of Finance and also by the local regional regulation," wrote the KPU in the Instagram comment column, quoted Tuesday, January 30, 2024.

"Including consumption, official travel, and daily money with a disbursement mechanism and provisions that also refer to the management of the APBN budget regulated by the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Indonesia," continued the KPU.

In addition, there are other indicators that cause differences in the amount of pocket money received by the KPPS. One of them is the distance from home to the KPPS technical site or inauguration.

"Each region has different transport rates because it is adjusted to the local regulation and agreed with the local village government. If the distance to the field or the inauguration site is only 5-10 minutes, it is different from the temporary distance of 49-50 minutes or others," said the KPU.

However, the KPU ensures that all KPPS officers who take part in the technical guidance will get an allowance. This is because this has been budgeted by the central KPU and has been distributed to the Regency/City KPU.
