The Minister of Public Works, Dody Hanggodo, has revealed a proposed\nadditional budget of Rp34.33 trillion for 2026 to complete programmes\nunder Presidential Instruction (Inpres). Speaking during a working\nmeeting with Commission V of the House of Representatives (DPR RI) in\nJakarta on Tuesday, Dody stated that the additional funds are essential\nfor fulfilling presidential mandates.<\/p>\n
The proposed budget consists of Rp3.35 trillion to continue existing\nmulti-year contracts and Rp30.98 trillion for new activities. Dody noted\nthat the budget for regional Inpres programmes, such as regional\nirrigation, is expected to be allocated following discussions with the\nPresident and the directives from Commission V of the DPR RI.<\/p>\n
He added that the proposal was submitted to the Minister of Finance\non 22 May 2026 and will be proposed through the supplementary\nexpenditure budget for the 2026 fiscal year. To realise the \u2018Asta Cita\u2019\nagenda, the Ministry of Public Works aims to achieve the \u2018PU 608\u2019\nvision, which requires support from all sectors, including local\ngovernments. According to the Minister, infrastructure development can\nno longer be conducted sectorally or partially, as current\nchallenges\u2014such as district and city road connectivity, food\ndistribution, cross-regional water management, urbanisation, and\nregional inequality\u2014are cross-border in nature.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/public-works-minister-proposed-additional-budget-to-complete-presidential-instruction-programmes-1780869648", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
