Chairman of DPR’s XI Commission Admits All Members Eligible for BI’s CSR

Headline: Bank Indonesia‘s CSR Funds Not Allocated to MPs, Says DPR Chair

Subhead: Misbakhun, who heads DPR’s XI Commission, denies CSR funds from BI are used by MPs, contradicting earlier claims by Satori, another commission member.

Body:

In a strongly-worded statement, Misbakhun, the chair of the House of Representatives’ (DPR) XI Commission, has categorically denied that corporate social responsibility (CSR) funds from Bank Indonesia (BI) are allocated to members of the House. This clarification comes after fellow commission member, Satori, claimed that CSR funds from BI were being used by all members of the XI Commission.

"I want to make it clear that there is no flow of funds from Bank Indonesia’s Social Program (PSBI) to the DPR members or any surplus cash taken," Misbakhun said in an official statement on Sunday, December 29.

Sources close to the matter suggest that the funds, meant for social programs across Indonesia, are allocated through proposals submitted by various community groups, organizations, or foundations directly to BI. The process involves a thorough verification and validation by an independent survey team appointed by BI.

Misbakhun, in his statement, emphasized that the PSBI has been in existence for decades and is included in BI’s annual budget. He described it as an initiative to foster a sense of care and empower communities across Indonesia.

However, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has launched a series of investigatory measures, including searches of properties belonging to high-ranking officials and MPs. On Monday, December 16, KPK searched the offices of BI’s governor, Perry Warjiyo, and two offices in the communication department. A day later, on Friday, December 27, KPK questioned Satori and another MP, Heri Gunawan from Gerindra Party, related to the case.

The controversy surrounds the PSBI, which has been flagged as a potential channel for corruption involving members of the DPR’s XI Commission. Misbakhun’s clarification, however, insists that the funds do not flow through MPs or any DPR members.

This developing story underscores the importance of transparency and accountability in the use of public funds, particularly those earmarked for social causes. As investigations continue, stakeholders eagerly await further updates on the unfolding situation.

Prabowo’s meeting with party leaders is a topic of discussion, and even worse, some are evaluating it negatively." He emphasized that the meeting’s agenda was centered on issues concerning the public’s best interests, and any political discussions that took place were focused on nationalism, not power politics.

He lauded President Prabowo’s accomplishments since taking office, highlighting improvements such as raises for educators, fulfillment of labor wage demands, and the implementation of free nutritious meals. He reassured the public that numerous other policies were being developed and would be carried out according to regulations.

Irate in support of the Prabowo-Gibran administration, Saleh implored everyone to rally behind them. "There should be no doubt. Prabowo-Gibran have been on track. We all must support them," he insisted, emphasizing the importance of constructive criticism.

Previously, leaders of participating parties revealed the content of their discussion at Prabowo’s residence in South Jakarta. Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, Chairman of the Great Indonesia Movement Party (Gerindra), noted that economic conditions, particularly the increase in Value-Added Tax (PPN) from 11% to 12%, were among the topics discussed.

Saleh’s comments come amidst criticism of Prabowo’s meeting with these party leaders. His response serves as a reminder that constructive dialogue and a focus on national interests are key to a united and progressing Indonesia.

According to Bahlil Lahadalia, "It’s normal," he remarked when asked about the meeting by reporters waiting outside Prabowo’s residence. Meanwhile, other chairmen like Muhaimin Iskandar of PKB, Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) of Demokrat, and Ahmad Syaikhu of PKS, left without making any statements.

The gathering comes as Prabowo, also the chairman of Gerindra Party, is set to attend a religious event and Christmas celebrations at the Indonesia Arena in Senayan, Jakarta, later in the evening. His vice-presidential candidate, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, had already arrived at the venue.

The purpose of the meeting remains unclear, as none of the attending party leaders chose to disclose any details. The silence surrounding the event has left observers speculating about the possible topics discussed, ranging from coalition politics to the upcoming legislative elections.

“Accused of Political Meddling: Respect the Legal Process

Rise in Political Tensions: Gerindra‘s Maruarar Backs KPK, PDIP Alleges Politicization

Jakarta, Indonesia – Maruarar Sirait, a high-profile politician from the Great Indonesia Movement Party (Gerindra), has responded to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) naming PDIP’s secretary-general, Hasto Kristiyanto, as a suspect in a case involving former General Elections Commission (KPU) commissioner, Wahyu Setiawan. Maruarar emphasized the importance of respecting the legal process.

Maruarar, also known as ‘Ara’,stated, "I believe we should respect the legal process," during an interview at his residence in the Menteng area of Jakarta. He reiterated Indonesia’s status as a nation of laws, stressing the importance of allowing legal processes to run their course.

Regarding the ongoing ‘Capture Harun Masiku’ challenge, Maruarar expressed confidence that the nation could apprehend the legendary criminal. "If anyone can capture him, then certainly, this nation can apprehend Harun Masiku," he said.

PDIP spokesman, Chico Hakim, however, has accused certain parties of attempting to disrupt and sink PDIP’s reputation regarding Hasto’s nomination as a suspect. "There’s a strong political motivation in this case," Chico told reporters. "The fact that two suspects in the BI CSR case were initially cleared is evidence of that. There’s a clear effort to hinder PDI Perjuangan and even take it over."

KPK, meanwhile, dismissed allegations of politicization, insisting that Hasto’s nomination as a suspect was purely a matter of law enforcement. "The decision to name Hasto a suspect is solely based on legal considerations," said KPK chairman Setyo Budiyanto at a press conference in Jakarta.

The political landscape remains tense as Indonesia prepares for the upcoming PDIP Congress, with both parties keeping a close eye on developments and any potential disruptions. The nation awaits further updates on this evolving story.

Muhammadiyah Youth Surprised by PDIP’s Criticism of PPN 12%: Now, They Wash Their Hands

by Chief Editor
written by Chief Editor

Indonesia Perjuangan – Wikipedia bahasa Indonesia …”>PDIP‘s Shift: From Support to Criticism of 12% PPN Rakes Attention

Jakarta – The Democratic Party of Indonesia for Struggle (PDIP) has drawn attention for changing its stance, now criticizing the implementation of a 12% value-added tax (PPN), after initially supporting the revision of the Harmonization of Taxation Regulation (RUU HPP). Najih Prastiyo, Secretary General of Muhammadiyah Youth, questioned this shift in PDIP’s attitude.

Najih pointed out that PDIP initially supported the formulation of the RUU HPP, even securing a seat on the Special Committee. "I’m quite surprised by PDIP’s stance now. They initially supported the RUU HPP, but now they’re Suddenly washing their hands of it," Najih said in a statement.

Najih also lamented PDIP’s ambiguity in politics and governance. "PDIP’s position is becoming more and more unclear and problematic. It’s not clear whether they want to be the opposition or slowly join the government’s coalition. This ambiguity is heating up the political atmosphere. PDIP should clarify its political stance," Najih urged.

Najih accused PDIP of trying to win back public approval after a heavy defeat in the elections. "PDIP is just trying to save face. Their grassroots support has dwindled, and they’re looking for ways to regain their strength. Therefore, I see this reaction as opportunistic, trying to gain from a seemingly pro-people stance," Najih concluded.

PDIP’s Involvement in the PPN 12% Increment

Earlier, Dolfie Othniel Frederic Palit, Deputy Chairman of the XI Commission of the House of Representatives, responded to a statement by Rahayu Saraswati, the Deputy Secretary General of the Gerindra Party, who had accused PDIP of playing a role in the enactment of the HPP Law that led to the PPN 12% increase. Dolfie stated that the HPP Law was an initiative of the government of President Joko Widodo (Jokwowi).

"The HPP Law is the initiative of the Jokowi government, submitted to the House of Representatives on May 5, 2021. All factions agreed to discuss the government’s proposal for the RUU HPP," said Dolfie, who was also the chairman of the Special Committee for the RUU HPP.

Dolfie explained that all factions, except the PKS, agreed to the RUU HPP becoming a law on October 7, 2021. The HPP Law, in the form of an omnibus law, changed several provisions in the Income Tax Law, Value Added Tax Law, and Luxury Goods Tax Law. It also regulates the Voluntary Tax Declaration Program and Carbon Tax.

The government has the authority to propose increases or decreases in the PPN rate within a range of 5-12%. Dolfie stated that the government’s decision to increase or decrease the PPN rate depends on the state of the national economy. Dolfie advised President Prabowo Subianto that if the government insists on increasing the PPN by 12%, it must be accompanied by the creation of many new jobs for the people.
