Last Wednesday, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) delivered the 2017 State Budget List (Daftar Isian Pelaksanaan Anggaran – DIPA) before various ministries and government institutions at the Indonesian State Palace. During his address, the President affirmed that the state had allocated some IDR 2,080.5 trillion for Indonesia’s ministries, institutions and regions under the 2017 State Revenues and Expenditure Budget (APBN).
Accompanied by Vice President Jusuf Kalla, Persident Jokowi warned the country’s state apparatus not to misuse a single penny of the 2017 APBN, as this latest budget allocates a huge amount in terms of state expenditure. President Jokowi also confirmed his expectation that the 2017 APBN would be able to boost economic growth in the midst of the current global economic downturn, as well as reduce both poverty and the national unemployment rate.
“I’m expecting that [our] poverty rate will decrease to 10.5%, while our unemployment rate will decrease to 5.6% and [attain a] 0.39% Gini ratio,” President Jokowi emphasized. A Gini ratio or Gini index is a commonly used measure of inequality and income distribution.
2017 APBN Allocation: Regions and Rural Areas
From the total amount of funding which has been set out in the 2017 APBN, the government has allocated some IDR 764.3 trillion for the country’s regions and rural areas. According to the president, this sizeable budget allocation should encourage a higher rate of economic growth within the country’s various regions and rural areas, and President Jokowi also asserted that it was time that Indonesia started to rely more on such areas. With this ultimate goal in mind, President Jokowi reminded all of the country’s regional-government heads that they should absolutely refrain from engaging in any acts of corruption relating to next year’s budget.
Furthermore, President Jokowi expects Indonesia’s regional governments to immediately ensure that their sub-regions receive copies of the 2017 DIPA. With this in mind, the president has mandated that all regional governments should commence their procurement and pre-auction processes before the end of this fourth quarter of 2016.
Commenting on this issue, Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Deputy, Basaria Panjaitan, encouraged other law-enforcement officers, including the Indonesian national police force (Kepolisian Repubik Indonesia – Polri), as well as the attorney general’s office (kejaksaan), to take part in the supervision of budgetary expenditure across the nation’s many villages and small communities.
“We need to ensure that the distribution [of the state budget to villages] hits the right targets and that the budget will not be misappropriated by village heads,” Mr. Panjaitan asserted.
Mr. Panjaitan went on to explain that the role of Polri and the attorney general’s office had become increasingly important in light of the fact that the KPK was now only authorized to handle corruption cases which amount to a minimum of IDR 1 billion, as stipulated under Article 11 (c) of Law No. 30 of 2002 on the Corruption Eradication Commission. The KPK will thus require the assistance of both Polri and the attorney general’s office in order to monitor the utilization of any village budgets which amount to less than IDR 1 billion.
