Most Reject Jakarta DPRD's Request for a Budget Increase
Tuesday, December 29, 2015
ONE hundred and six members of the Jakarta Provincial Legislative Council (DPRD) seemed pleased when their four demands were granted. In the 2016 Jakarta Regional Administrative Budget (APBD), four components in the council's expense budget were significantly increased. These include budgets for travel and recesses, new meeting tables and chairs and new laptops.
The budget for travel expenses, for instance, was raised from Rp430 thousand to Rp1.5 million. Jakarta DPRD Deputy Chairman Muhammad Taufik, a Great Indonesia Movement (Gerindra) Party politician, said it had been twelve years since the travel budget was last increased. "We often had to cover the excess," he said.
