  • West Java's provincial government faces scrutiny over high personnel spending, nearing 30 percent of its total budget.
  • A regional legislative council member urged for better optimization of regional-owned enterprises (BUMD) to manage finances.
  • The high personnel costs are seen as a potential strain on the provincial budget.

West Java's provincial government is under pressure as its spending on personnel costs approaches 30 percent of the total budget. This high proportion has drawn attention from the regional legislative council, which is calling for improved financial management.

Daddy Rohanady, a member of the West Java Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD), highlighted the significant portion of the provincial budget allocated to employee salaries and benefits. He suggested that optimizing the performance and revenue generation of regional-owned enterprises (BUMD) could help alleviate this financial burden.

The council's push for better BUMD performance aims to create additional revenue streams and potentially offset the high personnel expenditures. This move reflects a broader effort to ensure fiscal responsibility and efficient resource allocation within the provincial government.
