Not for the budget formality - DOCUMENT 2010

Not for the budget formality
Original Text Click here
   Soon the turn of the year, less than a month away. However, signs of optimizing the absorption of the budget has not revealed a significant increase.
   Not only are the absorption Blora district budget (budget) is still low. It turned up earlier this month, the rate of uptake of the new state budget reached 56% of the total ceiling of USD 1126.14 APBNP trillion in 2010. 
   In fact, in terms of central government spending, the new 47% or less than half!
   Based on data from the Directorate of Treasury intranet, the realization of the absorption of the state budget by December 1, 2010 valued at Rp 556.28 trillion (56.01%). Realization consists of central government expenditures valued at Rp 343.05 trillion (47.59%) and transfer to the region valued at Rp 213.23 trillion (78.33%).
   This condition is of course quite memrihatinkan and seen that development in this country in recent years is always tinged with obstacles and "failure". Silly, symptoms like these occur over and over again, year after year. It seems there is something wrong with our budget system.
   A concrete example for the low absorption of the budget was experienced by the Ministry of Public Works, which until the third quarter of this year are new to Rp 25 trillion, or 61.8% of the total budget of Rp 37 trillion allocated in the 2010 budget. The agency is responsible for national infrastructure development activities.
   In fact, in the field is clearly visible how many irrigation networks are no longer optimal to support the increase in agricultural production. In addition, most of the road network in this country can say no longer smooth, even at some point or more locations to be called a buffalo wallow rather than road.
   The low absorption of this budget became increasingly at the local level. The role of local government officials are so dominant for determining whether a road-building project. Coupled with the budget disbursement not smooth, complete absorption of the budget problem is complexity.
   At the beginning of the year too, Parliament has warned to impose sanctions for ministerial / institutional budget absorption rate is low, otherwise the award will be prepared well for the budget that could absorb optimally. We do not yet know whether the system of reward and punishment will be carried out effectively, given the House also includes agency that is associated with the smooth disbursement of the budget, for example.
   To time ago, the government made a breakthrough in efforts to boost the absorption of the budget include the acceleration of the tender before the budget was passed, requiring ministries and agencies prepare procurement plans (procurement plan) when the delivery plan ministerial activities of the institution (RKAKL) in the House.
    Then the project leader's job to prolong the period of one to three periods so that the auction process can be accelerated, and to shorten and simplify the administrative process of disbursement of funds in the State Treasury Service Office (KPPN).
     Apparently, the breakthrough is not quite managed to break through the ice in the process of absorption of the budget. This is evident from the emergence of similar problems from time to time. In fact, the level of uptake of low budget, not only harms the people who should benefit from the program or project financed by state budget, the trickle effect (multiplier effect) was also inhibited.
    Contractors and subcontractors who originally did the program / project that would delay the absorption of labor, so that quite a lot of families who have lost the opportunity to earn income from the project / program. Material industry also support the program / project, are forced to suspend production. How complex the effects of the low absorption of the budget.
    Often appear in the news media insist that some areas of the budget proposed to build the infrastructure of this and that. As soon as the budget request is approved, uh, budget and budget allocations are received rather than hasten to build infrastructure, as proposed, but the "schooled" by the way bought Bank Indonesia Certificates (SBI).
   Another mode is frequently encountered is the "deposit" to fund the construction of regional development banks to increase capital-while-bank owned by local governments as well. How the model looks at all this subterfuge is retained in order to obtain "additional revenue" for the area so that the PAD cash (revenue) as if enlarged.
    For what is a significant additional income for the area? No other than to finance activities that are not essential and not for the benefit of local people's welfare improvement, for example, for cost comparison study, the procurement of cars and laptops, to the official uniforms for the regency / municipal / provincial and local legislators.
    When it comes to the effectiveness of the budget for the people that in fact the taxpayers, the benefits are returned to the people, both as an incentive or form of increased welfare, very, very small. Not commensurate with the size of the budget itself.
    It is time for the organizers of the country, both at central and regional levels, for the Repentant and realize that the development budget, which in principle should be withheld from the people returned optimally to improve the welfare of the people anyway, not even enjoyed by the congregation.
    Government together with the regulators (DPR / DPRD) must be more intelligent design, allocate and manage the budget in order to run properly. The low absorption of the budget can also be read as ketidakcerdasan the organizers state and therefore they should be ashamed, if you still have a sense of shame to the people who have them serve it.
    Development budget is made not just for show or for pantes-pantesan, but as a mechanism to run the people's trust in order to encourage an increase in welfare of the people also, more specifically those who are on marginal lines. If state officials are not serious or not serious about running the trust, is not the proper term for them is a traitor trust the people? (Author Budi Agung Drs.E. Rustanto - Leader tabloid INFOKU)
