        "summary": "The West Lombok DPRD has called for an audit of the Rp 20 billion Masaro waste management project due to irregularities, including the questionable use of emergency funds from the Unforeseen Expenditure budget for its construction. Chairman Fauzi highlighted concerns over the machine's poor condition despite being new, its custom-assembled nature, and high operational costs, questioning whether the project was forced or if the district was deceived. The Environment Agency head admitted ignorance of the funding source but justified the procurement as an emergency measure for waste issues, amid repeated breakdowns of the machine.",
        "content": "<p>The Chairman of Commission III of the West Lombok DPRD, Fauzi, has\nrequested the Inspectorate to audit two Masaro (Zero Waste Management)\nprojects owned by the West Lombok Regency Government. Fauzi stated that\nthere are irregularities in the Rp 20 billion Masaro project. \u201cActually,\nthis is already clear as day,\u201d said Fauzi on Thursday (2\/4\/2026). \u201cWe\nare waiting for the performance of the Inspectorate. Is it true that\nthis (Masaro) is a new machine, but its condition is like this?\u201d he\nadded. Fauzi explained several irregularities found in the Masaro\nproject. Among them is the issue of using the budget from Unforeseen\nExpenditure (BTT) amounting to around Rp 21 billion to build Masaro.\nAccording to Fauzi, the BTT budget should be allocated for handling\nemergencies or disasters. He also questioned the emergency reason used\nto build Masaro. \u201cI myself only found out today about the 2025 BTT\nbudget being shifted to Masaro,\u201d added the PKB politician. Fauzi also\nfound that the Masaro machine is assembled and its spare parts do not\ncome from one manufacturer. He then doubted the validity of the\ne-catalogue that uses a custom system for the waste processing machine.\n\u201cIs this a forced programme or was West Lombok tricked by this Masaro\nissue exposure?\u201d he said. Fauzi regretted the large budget spent by the\nWest Lombok Regency Government both in the construction process and the\noperation of Masaro. Because the machine is not able to work maximally,\neven damaged. Not to mention the electricity costs reaching Rp 50\nmillion per month. The Head of the Environment Agency (DLH) of West\nLombok, M Busyairi, admitted that he did not know about the BTT budget\nissue used to build Masaro. However, he stated that the procurement of\nMasaro was carried out considering the emergency waste conditions in\nWest Lombok. \u201cRegarding the budget, I don\u2019t know. The most appropriate\nto answer is the Regional Finance and Asset Agency (BKAD),\u201d said\nBusyairi. As is known, the Masaro waste processing machine in Senteluk\nVillage, Batu Layar Subdistrict, West Lombok, is damaged again. Even\nthough the machine was only repaired since the last damage on Saturday\n(7\/3). Busyairi previously said that the damage was caused by waste\nentering the Masaro machine not being perfectly sorted. Some materials\nlike stones and bricks are often found entering the processing machine,\nthus damaging the machine.<\/p>",
