TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Bogor Deputy Mayor Usmar Hariman said that the Bogor administration only received Rp13 billion of donation fund from the Jakarta administration. Previously, Bogor was promised to receive Rp100 billion in donation.
According to Usmar, the donation will later be used to fund the development of retention pond to overcome floods in Jakarta, transportation sector and overcoming garbage issues. “The allocation for the Rp13 billion donation fund was accordance with that agreed by Jakarta, as included in the proposal by the Bogor administration,” he said.
Usmar mentioned there will be two locations for the retiontion pool built by Bogor administration. Both are located in Ciluar and Cibuluh village, North Bogor subdistrict.
Initially, Bogor will use the donation fund for land acquisition and its development, but because the fund was only disbursed at Rp13 billion, the donation will be budgeted in the 2015 Local-Budet Change. “Bogor administration could still build it without the donation fund due to last year’s Rp300 billion budget surplus,” said Usmar.
“Mr. Ahok (Basuki Tjahaja Purnama) said that donations for cities in the Jakarta's surrounding was reduced over conflict issues with the local legislative councils, therefore contributes to the amount of funds it grants,” Bogor Mayor Bima Arya Sugiarto said.
