Contract should be held in February

At this moment, the budget realization is still 13.86 percent out of Rp 67.1 trillion or Rp 8.03 trillion.

“Contract should be held in February,” he said, Monday (4/25).

Seeing this matter, he stated this year budget is no difference with last year budget. Basuki also questioning late auction process done by Jakarta Goods and Services Procurement Service (BPPJB).

“Why the contract is held in May,” he added.

Blessmiyanda, head of BPPJB, admitted his side is still completing consultation auction first, and the signing of construction auction is done in next May.

“Because if consolidation auction, then we held consultation auction before construction auction,” he explained.
