Jakarta –
Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD Prasetyo Edi Marsudi was presented as a witness in the trial of the alleged corruption case in land acquisition for house DP Rp. 0. There were a number of things that Prasetyo conveyed during the trial.
The trial was held at the Central Jakarta Corruption Court, Monday (22/1/2024). Prasetyo testified for three defendants, namely the former Main Director of Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya, Yoory Corneles Pinontoan; beneficial owner of PT Adonara Propertindo, Rudy Hartono; and Operations Director Tommy Adrian.
For information, Yoory et al were charged with corruption and causing state financial losses worth IDR 256 billion related to land acquisition in Cakung, East Jakarta. This is the third case involving Yoory related to land acquisition when he served as Managing Director of Perumda Sarana Jaya, which is a DKI Jakarta BUMD.
The following is Prasetyo Edi’s testimony in today’s trial:
Admits he doesn’t know how to implement a house with a down payment of Rp. 0
The prosecutor initially questioned Prasetyo about what he knew regarding the alleged corruption case that ensnared Yoory. Prasetyo said he was aware of the capital investment in Sarana Jaya.
He says program house DP Rp. 0, which was carried out by Sarana Jaya, has pros and cons. He said that the PDIP faction of the DKI Jakarta DPRD initially questioned the basis of the program.
“Well, after that, here is what Tri Wisaksana (former Deputy Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD) said, there are pros and cons. Because for our faction PDI Perjuangan, at that time it was irrational for a house with a down payment of IDR 0. Where did it come from, what was the basis,” explained Prasetyo.
The prosecutor then continued to grill Prasetyo regarding the implementation of the Rp. 0 down payment housing program. Prasetyo also admitted that he did not know whether the program had been implemented or not.
“Does the house with a DP of IDR 0 happen or not?” asked the prosecutor.
“I don’t know what I saw, sir, it didn’t happen until now,” answered Edi.
“Even though Rp. 900 billion has been disbursed, as far as the witness knows, where does the money go?” asked the prosecutor.
“I don’t understand, sir,” replied Edi.
Compare with KJP and Rusunawa
He also compared programs in the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government which had reaped pros and cons. He brought up the Healthy Jakarta Card (KJS) and Smart Jakarta Card (KJP) programs which were initiated by Joko Widodo when he was still Governor of DKI Jakarta.
“The PDIP faction refused but the institutions in the DPRD were finally approved?” asked the prosecutor.
“Because of this too, sir, the illustration used to be Mr. Governor, Mr. Foke, Mr. Jokowi, so the Governor had a breakthrough called the Smart Jakarta Card, Healthy Jakarta Card. Well, there were also pros and cons to the discussion of rejecting that, but we still went ahead and finally KJP, KJS were accepted community,” said Prasetyo.
He also compared the IDR 0 down payment housing program with the construction of flats in Jakarta. He said the IDR 0 down payment housing program had similarities to the construction of flats.
“Likewise, Mr. Anies is proposing a program which may be a continuation of the previous government. How can this Jakarta not be congested, how can this Jakarta not be flooded, can the people not be flooded, that is sustainable with the flats, sir,” said Prasetyo.
“The main thing is to build as many flats as possible for the people to live there. Maybe here the method is different, make the down payment of IDR 0. Actually the goal is the same,” he continued.
The prosecutor questioned Prasetyo about the success of the Rp. 0 down payment house with flats. Prasetyo said the Rp. 0 down payment program includes a number of conditions for residents who want to buy a house.
“Actually, for successful flats, houses with a DP of 0 rupiah are not successful?” asked the prosecutor.
“If the down payment is 0 rupiah, there must be a derivative of how much your salary is, what your abilities are, everything has to be rational,” answered Edi.
