JAKARTA - Member of Commission VI of the House of Representatives Evita Nursanty questioned the urgency of PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) or KAI to import used electric rail (KRL) from Japan.

Furthermore, Evita also admitted that he was surprised why KAI had always been fond of importing used KRL.

Mr. Didiek said that at the beginning what I was confused about was the need for imports from this used train, because of the reasons for the COVID-19 pandemic and others. "But if I read about it, sir, (imports) this used train is actually not the first incident. This has been a long time since KAI imported used trains, used carriages," he said in a meeting of Commission VI DPR with the President Director of KAI, Monday, March 27.

According to him, KAI seems to show this import wish by showing the results of the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries meeting to review and audit internally. As well as the reasons for the COVID-19 pandemic to finance are minimal.

Furthermore, Evita said these various reasons could not be accepted by his common sense. This is because the importation of this used KRL is not the first time.

"Because this (used train import) is not a new incident. If this is a new incident, I can accept it," he said.

Evita then questioned the condition of the chaos or chaos if KAI did not import the used KRL from Japan. According to him, the chaos on the train occurred at certain moments such as Lebaran and the new year.

We used to have chaos in the new year, in Eid. This has passed all of our CHAOS. Is it an urgency if we don't import Chaos goods. That's a question for me," he said.
