JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – DKI Jakarta DPRD member of the Indonesian Solidarity Party faction William Aditya Sarana gave an explanation of his viral voice recording on social media.
In the recording, William asked for political assistance funds (banpol) for political parties (parpol).
William confirmed that the recording was his voice at the DKI DPRD meeting.
However, he said, the recording was either incomplete or had been cut.
“I regret that the recording is only part of a meeting discussion, not an entire discussion,” William said in a written statement on Saturday (12/26/2020).
Fortunately, the DPRD salary increases. But Aleg of @psi_id Instead, they propose that PARTY FUNDS increase from 5,000 to 20,000 or as high as the 2021 APBD.

William explained that the context of the sentence transmitted on the increase of banpol funds responds to the recommendations of the Commission for the Eradication of Corruption (KPK) and the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI).

According to him, the two institutions assessed that government funding for political parties is necessary to strengthen democracy and repress corruption of public officials who are cadres of political parties.
“The context is that I have studied and passed on the recommendation of the KPK and LIPI that political parties must have strong finances to operate, so that the potential for political corruption can be suppressed. This is the spirit, “said William.
However, considering that Jakarta is still in a pandemic and economically distressed condition today, William said, discussing increased political aid is irrelevant.
William reiterated that, in principle, the PSI’s final position regarding the APBD is one that is read formally and in writing at the factions overview at the DKI Jakarta DPRD plenary session on November 27, 2020.
“Seeing the irrelevant context, in this overview, the ISP does not encourage an increase in banpol funds, but we emphasize cutting irrelevant activities, such as the increase in the RKT (annual work plan) of hundreds of billions that had been proposed. Clear the attitude of our party and faction, ”said William.

William encouraged that all meetings at the DPRD be recorded and made public.
That way, the public knows the process and content of all budget discussions.
As a result, there are no more instances of meeting recordings circulating incompletely and causing misconceptions in the public.
“It is strongly suspected that uploading my chopped voice recordings on social media was done by old political forces who wanted to prevent the PSI from expressing budget transparency in Jakarta and a budget stance siding with the people, after the PSI will reject the hundreds of billions of raises from RKT, “said William.

In a recording that is circulating, William explained that this year’s Jakarta banpol budget is Rs 5,000 per vote. He suggested that the budget be increased again next year.
“Maybe it could rise again by vote, so we want Rp. 7,000, Rp. 20,000. We want it as high as possible so that it can fulfill party operations,” he said.
“But we are just realistic. Can we not raise it for 2021? That is the leadership we want to convey, thank you,” he said in the recording.
