Jakarta –
A member of Gerindra’s DPR, Andre Rosiade, disagrees with the procurement budget of Rp 1.5 billion for 100 43-inch televisions for DPR members’ rooms. According to him, the budget is better for direct cash assistance (BLT) to society.
“You don’t have to spend a lot of time, TV. The money doesn’t have to be for TV, it’s better for the BLT. It’s for community assistance,” Andre said when contacted on Tuesday (10/5/2022).
Andre, who is also a member of the Home Affairs Agency (BURT), said council members didn’t need to buy a TV. He also felt that his work continued to run smoothly even though there was no television in his room.

“As a member of the BURT, I feel that DPR members don’t need to have a TV in their respective rooms. DPR members can do it, if they want to buy a TV, they can do it. DPR members are busy working from morning to noon, on errands and equipment, “he said.
“I don’t think it is necessary to buy a TV for the office. It is better if the budget is used to lighten the burden of people who are currently still suffering from the increase in fuel prices,” he said.
Budget Rp 1.5 M for 100 TVs
The DPR has allocated Rp 1.5 billion to purchase a 43-inch television that will be placed in the working room of the DPR members. The budget is for the purchase of 100 TV units.
Judging by the LKPP’s General Procurement Plan Information System (SiRUP) website, Tuesday (4/10), there is a package called “Procurement of 43-inch LED TVs for Member Workrooms”. The package was numbered 36341964.
The written volume of the work is 100 pieces. The source of funds is the state budget 2022.
“The total ceiling is Rp 1,554,000,000 (Rp 1.5 billion),” the website reads.
This means that each television will be purchased with a budget of around Rp 15 million. There is no explanation as to the particular brand that will be purchased.
On the site, the use of the assets will begin in October 2022. The selection method is E-Purchasing.
“Schedule of execution of the contract, starting from August 2022, end of October 2022”, writes the site.
