Renovating the House
Tuesday, November 17, 2015
HOUSE of Representatives (DPR) members continue to try and slip an allocation into the State Budget for renovating the DPR building. A similar plan was scrapped in 2011, but when discussions for the 2016 State Budget plan began in August, it was put back on the table. Though it was rejected by the government, at the end of October, an allocation of Rp740 billion for renovations suddenly surfaced in the 2016 State Budget plan approved by the DPR.
The proposal to renovate the DPR building was reportedly made based on Law No. 10/2011 on cultural heritage. Achmad Dimyati Natakusuma, Deputy Chairman of DPR Internal Affairs Body denies that the heritage law was the basis of the plan. "It is based on the need to support amenities and infrastructure so that DPR members can enhance their work," he said.
