"The project is a special assignment from the central government. So we're ready to support in order to be completed on time," expressed Cinta Mega, Vice Chairman of DPRD Commission C, Wednesday (2/22).

From the results, the council would approve additional fund for PT Jakpro to be discussed in 2017- APBD-P.

"It will also be discussed in DPRD's Budget Agency to get approval," he stated.

PT Jakpro Director, Satya Heragandhi dislcosed, last year, his party got Rp 1 trillion of PMP. It was used to conduct down payment (DP) for the continuation of the ongoing projects.

"Even its absorption reached Rp 1.2 trillion. This year, we hope it could hit Rp 1.95 trillion and can be added one million. Thus, we will get Rp 2.95 trillion," he explained. 

His party intends to propose additional fund through 2017 APBD-P.

This is because, in overall, the project needs about Rp 6.8 trillion, with the higher allocation on LRT, which is more than Rp 5 trillion.

"Our need to pay next year's payment is Rp 2 trillion," he expressed.
