With this controversy, this Golkar Party politician said that members of the DKI Jakarta DPRD are said to have stolen public money.

It’s not just about the RKT

He said that many of the ISP’s behaviors irritated DPR members because they were seen as inconsistent in voting.
“There are several (cases), so then we don’t want him to agree, suddenly the next day it sounds different (disagree),” he said.
Taufik explained that the PSI faction did not understand that the faction’s role was an extension of the party.
So what the factions should convey are the thoughts of the party.
That is why the votes cast by the PSI faction DPR members must agree with the party’s votes and not change, especially when talking about the increase in allocations in RKT 2021.
“In the provisions of the factions law it is an extension of the party, therefore in reality the votes of the factions, the votes cast by the factions within the council must be the votes of the party, correct (what the PSI is doing ) is different, “he said.
PSI Response
In response to this, PSI’s Jakarta Regional Leadership Council (DPW) Chairman Michael Victor Sianipar admitted that he was unconcerned about the OT actions carried out by eight other factions and remained committed to protecting the people’s interests.
“Whatever happens, we will continue to express the interests of the people,” Michael said.
Michael said the action was interpreted by the ISP as a form of criticism by other factions against the ISP faction.
The incident, Michael said, was a form of political consequence of the ISP’s election by maneuvering to make a different decision than most other factions.
“Of course the choice we made yesterday will have political consequences. We appreciate the attitude of our other colleagues as a form of criticism against us,” he said.
Children
Researchers from the Indonesian Parliament’s Community Concern Forum (Formappi) assess that DKI Jakarta DPRD members have shown childish attitudes.
“The way the Jakarta DPRD factions have responded to the ISP in a unified way go out Before reading PSI’s views in the DPRD plenary session, it certainly looks childish. And much less the decision go out This was done before hearing the attitude of the ISP, “Lucius told Kompas.com on Monday.
Lucius assessed that the attitude of the DKI DPRD members increasingly shows that so far they have conspired to try to increase wages and benefits through the 2021 Annual Work Plan.
However, his plan was hampered by the ISP’s refusal to increase his salary. As a result, they were compact in taking out their frustrations at PSI.
“It is becoming increasingly clear that the compactness of the factions when agreeing to the RKT is something that is done consciously and with great passion to get fantastic bonuses,” he said.
He also questioned the reason why factions in the DKI DPRD need to collaborate to confront small factions like PSI.
In fact, the PSI is a new party and only has a total of 8 seats in Kebon Sirih. The PSI vote could easily be ignored and other factions did not need to hold protests in the form go out from the courtroom.
However, he suspects that it is indeed spontaneous because he increases his disappointment at canceling his salary and benefits.
“The stress fractions with the firmness of the PSI honestly conveyed to the public (the increase in salaries and allowances). And the expression of stress seems to have triggered the cohesion of the factions for both of them to leave the courtroom until the PSI is alone in the room, “he said.
