Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Special staff of the Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani Field Strategic communicationYustinus Prastowo responded to the “controversial” Revenue Sharing Fund (DBH) that occurred between the Ministry of Finance and the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government. This started when DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan wrote to Sri Mulyani about collecting DBH.
He admitted that there was indeed a Revenue Sharing Fund (DBH) for underpayments (KB) for DKI Jakarta amounting to Rp 2.6 trillion. But the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government should not charge the central government as if it were collecting debts, because there is a mechanism that must be approved.
“So, this controversy and confusion does not have to occur when the DBH 2019 payment is requested, if the DKI Provincial Government does not seem that someone is collecting debts and not yet paid. The fact is that, although this is a right, the rules and the mechanism are clear, there is no debt. ” He said on his official social media Twitter account @prastow, quoted on Sunday (5/10)
The mechanism that must be approved is that the government disburses 50% first because it is still awaiting the results of the Audit of the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK). Because, if you follow the mechanism, then the DBH should not pay the government to the region to be paid in August or September of the following year, after BPK has completed the LKPP audit.
Therefore, the remaining KB DBH will be released after there is an official deficiency figure that the government must pay to the regional government according to the results of the BPK audit.
“Therefore, the actual underpayment is only known after the 2019 BPK audit was completed in 2020, and is generally paid around August to November. This is controversial because the central government appears to be in debt to the Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta and does not want to pay / retain. ” not so, “he said.
He admitted that he was surprised by the way the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government had raised DBH as a lender. In fact, this was not done by other regional governments because they understood the prevalence of DBH payment practices until now. “The money in the Center is enough, in fact, the DBH 2019 payments (audited) are made early. This is the real fact,” he said.
In total, the government allocated a DBH KB in 2019 worth Rp 14.71 trillion to all regions of Indonesia. However, as of April 2020, Rs 3.85 trillion had been distributed to 5 provinces and 113 districts of the city, including DKI Jakarta.
The acceleration of the award of underpaid DBH in 2019 is in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Finance (PMK) number 20 of 2020 on the distribution of the insufficient payment of profit sharing funds for the fiscal year 2020.
Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati emphasized that he had disbursed the Revenue Sharing Fund (DBH) Underpayment (KB) for DKI Jakarta in the amount of Rp 2.6 trillion. This is in accordance with the request of DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan.
However, the DBH KB granted was only about 50% of the total DKI DBH of Rp 5.16 billion. The DBH consists of the remaining KB of 2018 of Rp 19.35 billion and the KB 2019 potential of Rp 15.6 billion.
“For DKI Jakarta, from Rp 5.16 billion, we have already paid the DBH 2018, which is still missing, and for 2019 we have distributed Rp 2.58 billion,” Sri Mulyani said by teleconference on Friday (08/05/2020).
He explained that the government disbursed 50% in advance because it was still awaiting the results of the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) Audit. Because, if you follow the mechanism, DBH should not pay the government to the region to be paid in August or September of the following year, after BPK has completed the LKPP audit.
DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan briefly delivered an official letter to Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati. The letter was related to the disbursement of profit sharing funds of Rp 7.5 trillion.
“We hope that the revenue-sharing funds will be transferred immediately. I also officially presented it by letter to the Minister of Finance,” Anies Baswedan said during a video conference with Vice President (Vice President) Ma’ruf Amin in Jakarta on Thursday. (2 / 4/20).
He detailed that the Ministry of Finance still left accounts receivable from last year. Anies said that, initially, accounts receivable in 2019 reached Rp 6.4 trillion, after there were some adjustments, the figure changed to Rp 5.1 trillion.
