Hopefully, the budget will be ratified through this mediation. We will see

Jakarta Governor, Basuki 'Ahok' T Purnama, bringing hundreds of civil servants to join and attend in a mediation meeting with Jakarta Legislative Council (DPRD), at the Home Ministry's office, Medan Merdeka Utara No. 7, Central Jakarta, Thursday (3/5) morning. 

Those civil servants then immediately departed from City Hall using five Enjoy Jakarta buses and arrived in the Home Ministry's office around 9.25 AM. Some of them are five leaders and several council members. 

The meeting that held in a conference room of Sasana Bhakti Praja on the 3rd floor of the Home Ministry's Building C aims to mediate and clarificate the draft Bylaw/Governor Regulation's 2015 City Budget (APBD). It is led by Home Ministry Spokeman, Reydonnyzar Moenek.

The regional working units (SKPD) would uncover any attempt plan on the insertion of stealth budget in the draft budget.

Ahok admitted he has no preparation. "You see?? I just eat the snacks" he expressed.

He hoped the meeting could make a best result. "Hopefully, the budget will be ratified through this mediation. We will see," he uttered. 

Meanwhile, Jakarta Legislative Council Head, Prasetyo Edi Marsudi agreed the budget must be defended for citizens' interest. 

"I hope there is solution. I just warn the governor to discuss the budget. I'm interested to Ahok, he is a leader of Jakarta. If the legislative is guilty, they will be sanctioned, likewise with regional working unit," he added. 

Marsudi could not assure how the results of mediation that takes place at the Home Ministry's office today. "I don't know, you cant see the situation inside later," he exclaimed.
