Govt Disagrees With the Draft Bill on Public Housing Financing

Rofiq Hidayat, Andin Aditya Rahman

The Draft Bill on Housing Savings (Tapera Bill) was initiated by the House of Representatives (House) in order to assist low-income individuals with low premium financing to purchase a home.

However, the Tapera Bill will be one tough draft bill to pass, stated Yoseph Umar Hadi, Chairman of the Working Committee on the Tapera Bill, during a discussion at the House building, Tuesday (7/5).

Yoseph explained that this is primarily caused by the Government’s disagreement over the Tapera Bill, especially on the IDR 1 trillion Government Capital participation provision.

The Government also rejected articles on the obligation of corporations to assist their workers to start a Tapera deposit.

Despite strong rejection from the Government, Yoseph asserted that discussions on the Tapera Bill have resolved 202 issues from a total of 484 issues related to this bill. The remaining 282 issues will be further discussed between the House and the Government.

During the same discussion, Andi Gani Nena Wena, Chairman of the Confederation of All-Indonesian Workers Union (KSPSI), affirmed that Indonesian laborers will support the Tapera Bill.

“We fully support the Tapera Bill and we will oversee [its progress],” asserted the KSPSI Chairman.

Nevertheless, Andi stated that the IDR 1 trillion Government Capital participation in public housing program is insufficient. Ideally, as Andi said, the Government should allocate IDR 5 trillion to IDR 10 trillion for the program.

According to Andi, the small fund allocation can be taken as a lack of seriousness from the Government to support housing financing for the lower-middle class. “The Government should not play around,” he concluded.
