DKI Jakarta DPRD assures budget adjustment will not reduce basic services

The DKI Jakarta DPRD has affirmed that the adjustment to the Revised General Budget Policy and Provisional Budget Ceiling Priorities (KUA-PPAS) of the 2026 DKI Jakarta Regional Budget (APBD) amounting to Rp79.5 trillion will not reduce the fulfilment of basic public services.

The figure is lower than the original 2026 DKI Jakarta APBD of Rp81.3 trillion.

“We continue to maintain basic services. That is, even though there is a decrease, we still strive to maintain mandatory spending,” said DKI Jakarta DPRD Speaker Suhud Alynudin in a written statement on Thursday.

The budget efficiency scheme, he continued, does not reduce priority programmes directly related to public welfare, especially in the education, health, and social assistance sectors.

On Wednesday (26/8), DKI Jakarta DPRD Speaker Suhud Alynudin, together with Deputy Speaker Ima Mahdiah and Deputy Governor Rano Karno, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on the Revised KUA-PPAS of the 2026 DKI Jakarta APBD.

Suhud said the DKI Jakarta DPRD ensures that all free education facilities, improved health service quality, and the distribution of various social safety nets continue to run optimally in line with regional development targets.

“This is our commitment that this decrease does not affect our services to the residents of DKI Jakarta. I think that is the main point of the Revised APBD,” said Suhud.
