The consensus was declared at a Joint Leadership Meeting (Rapimgab) of the Jakarta DPRD and executive leadership, presided over by Jakarta DPRD Chairman Suhud Alynudin on Tuesday (9/15).

The Rp 79.56 trillion (Rp 79,562,435,180,601) Revised APBD Draft Bylaw officially gained full approval after joint deliberations by the Budget Committee and executive leadership, Suhud announced.

He explained that this step aligns with Government Regulation No. 12/2019, which mandates that any revised budget approval must be locked in at least three months before the fiscal year ends.

The legislative and the executive are set to formalize the 2026 Revised APBD agreement during an upcoming plenary session organized by the Deliberative Body (Bamus).

"The council and Governor will officially sign the Revised APBD Draft Bylaw during the Plenary Session on Tuesday (9/22)," he expressed, Tuesday (9/15).

During the meeting, Jakarta DPRD Budget Committee member Agustina Hermanto—popularly known as Tina Toon—urged the provincial government to tighten inter-agency coordination when executing budgeted programs.

"Please, coordinate with one another during implementation. Right now in Jakarta, we have sidewalk construction here, PAM digging up roads there, and then SDA starting their own excavations," she pointed out.

Turning her focus to the Education and Health agencies, she called for total transparency on unit cost standards, noting that officials failed to justify project pricing during Commission E budget talks.

"It falls back on them. If issues arise, they are the ones on the hook—yet it's the CKTRP Agency that actually sets the rates," she cautioned.

To fix misaligned execution, she urged the city to revamp its project budgeting process and bring technical departments to the table early on.

"We have to work out the best formula: should Citata manage the budget with sign-off from user agencies for school or hospital builds, or keep the existing model while requiring technical agencies to join every deliberation?," she added.

The meeting wrapped up shortly after lawmakers and executive officials gave their final nod of approval to the 2026 Revised APBD Draft.
