The Regional Representative Council (DPD RI) will build a\nrepresentative office in Serang City, Banten. The office is being\nconstructed to make it easier for the people of Banten to convey their\naspirations.<\/p>\n
The groundbreaking ceremony was held at the project site on Jalan\nJaksa Agung R. Suprapto, Serang City, on Wednesday (5\/8\/2026). The\nbuilding will stand on land owned by the Banten Provincial Government,\nwhich will later be granted to the DPD RI.<\/p>\n
The event was attended by DPD RI Speaker Sultan Bachtiar Najamudin,\nalong with Deputy Speakers Gusti Kanjeng Ratu Hemas, Yorrys Raweyai, and\nTamsil Linrung. Banten Governor Andra Soni and Banten Police Chief\nInspector General Hengki were also present.<\/p>\n
Sultan Bachtiar stated that this office would serve as a forum for\nthe public to voice their aspirations.<\/p>\n
\"It can be said to be a forum, a place, or a facility. A facility for\nthe people of Banten to convey their aspirations, to express their\nthoughts, to lodge complaints, and to state their intentions through an\nofficial channel, namely DPD members,\" he said.<\/p>\n
According to him, the construction of the office in Banten is\nsomething extraordinary. For Sultan, this office will become a platform\nfor advocacy.<\/p>\n
\"A momentum as well as an existence to make this DPD RI institution,\nwhich is only 21 years old, into a strong, effective, and inclusive\nrepresentative body, open to all the people it represents,\" he\nstated.<\/p>\n
Sultan also expressed his gratitude to the Banten Provincial\nGovernment for financing the construction of the office.<\/p>\n
\"Without collaboration, it would be impossible for this building to\nstand. Because this building is financed by the provincial budget\n(APBD), while on the other hand, the land has already been preceded by a\ngrant. So, the grant came first,\" he said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Andra Soni assessed that the construction of this building\nis a regional need, not a need of the DPD RI. He hopes that the\naspirations of the Banten people can be more easily conveyed through\nthis office.<\/p>\n
\"The construction of this building is a regional need, not a need of\nDPD members. Why do I say it is a regional need? It is mandated by law\nand is also a result of the reformation, that there is a DPD that brings\nregional interests. Not only the interests of its people, but also\nregional interests, in this case, the interests of the regional\ngovernment,\" he said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/dpd-ri-to-build-office-in-serang-banten-ready-to-accommodate-citizens-aspirations-1785909154", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
