TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Apung Widadi, the advocacy manager of the Indonesian Forum for Budget Transparency (FITRA), has slammed President Joko Widodo for blaming the Finance Ministry’s inexactitude that it had approved the increased budget for the down payment for cars for state officials.

“Jokowi has in fact divulged the palace’s problems,” Apung told Tempo on Sunday, April 5, 2015, adding this had signaled the poor coordination and communication between the president and his staff.

Earlier, the president said while commenting on the 85 percent increase in the funds for the down payment for state officials' cars that he did not scrutinize each of the proposed regulation he signed. The president said the Finance Ministry should have made prior considerations before proposing any policy to him.

Apung said that following Jokowi’s statement the government had no reason left to proceed with the channeling of Rp158.8 billion funds. “Jokowi must scrub the allocation for the cars’ down payment,” he said.

The president, through the Presidential Decree No. 39 Year 2015 on the Provision of Down Payment Facilities for State Officials’ Cars Purchase, has propelled the down payment money to Rp210.8 million—rocketing by 85 percent from the  Rp116.6 million in 2010.

The state officials basking in this facility include 753 people comprising House lawmakers (560 persons), Regional Representatives Council (DPD) members (132 persons), supreme justices (40 people), constitutional justices ( nine persons), Supreme Audit Agency members (five persons), and Judicial Commission members (seven persons).
