Jakarta Governor, Bauski Tjahaja Purnama disclosed, the expenditure on civil servants serving under Jakarta Provincial Government is different with other provinces. In Jakarta, the government also pays employees until regency and city level, while in other areas only in province level.

Jakarta is different with other provinces you know

"Jakarta is different with other provinces you know. Other provinces do not pay employees under regency and city levels. It must be distinguished. That's why, its expenditure is lower than us," said Basuki, at Jakarta City Council (DPRD), Saturday (12/19).

In 2016 Draft City Budget (APBD) filed by Jakarta DPRD recorded that indirect expenditure is allocated reaching Rp 24.51 trillion. It includes employee expenditure Rp 17.93 trillion, followed by interest expenditure Rp 30 billion, subsidy expenditure Rp 1.61 trillion and grant expenditure Rp 1.99 trillion.

"In Jakarta, regency/city does not have budget. That's why we also inject budget to them. So it is good they can achieve 41 percent of indirect expenditure," he told.

He asserted, discussion on General Policy of 2016 APBD's Priorities and the Tentative Budget Platform (KUA-PPAS) is the best. Because it already includes value until third unit.

"This is history if you look at the budget process since long time ago, this is the best result. If it can be completed before December, this is surely the best in terms of time, budget composition and savings," he stated.
