Yogyakarta DPRD to Summon Agriculture and Social Affairs Offices Over Audit Findings

The Yogyakarta Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD DIY) is taking a proactive stance following the Supreme Audit Agency's (BPK) findings in its report on the regional government's financial statements for the 2025 fiscal year. While the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) has once again achieved the prestigious Unqualified Opinion (WTP) for the 16th time, indicating sound financial management, these two specific findings demand immediate attention and resolution.

The first major concern revolves around the management of the regional rice reserve by the Agriculture and Food Security Office (DPKP). The revelation that 302.87 tons of rice were entrusted to a third party, PT TM, without clear contractual obligations regarding liability and reporting, is troubling. Furthermore, the physical management of this rice was transferred to other third parties without written consent, and a significant shortage of 128.5 tons was discovered among the involved parties. This raises serious questions about oversight and accountability in managing essential food reserves.

The second finding pertains to the distribution of living allowances for students affected by hydrometeorological disasters. While the regional government disbursed aid totaling Rp2.33 billion to 1,296 students, a substantial portion of these funds, approximately Rp473.4 million for 263 recipients, remains unutilized as the students have not activated their designated bank accounts. This points to a potential lapse in communication or follow-up mechanisms to ensure aid reaches its intended beneficiaries effectively.

DPRD DIY's decision to summon the relevant department heads reflects a commitment to good governance and the responsible use of public funds. The BPK's recommendations, which include revising cooperation agreements for food reserves and enhancing monitoring of aid distribution, must be diligently implemented within the stipulated 60-day timeframe. For the people of Yogyakarta, ensuring the integrity of food security and the efficient delivery of disaster relief are paramount, and these findings, despite the overall WTP, highlight areas needing urgent improvement.

Atas permasalahan tersebut BPK merekomendasikan Gubernur Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta (DIY) agar memerintahkan, pertama, Kepala DPKP merevisi perjanjian kerjasama pengelolaan cadangan pangan agar memuat secara jelas tentang hak, kewajiban volume cadangan pangan serta sanksi yang konkret. Kedua, Direktur PT. TM agar menyajikan kewajiban atas penyediaan cadangan beras secara transparan di dalam laporan keuangan., Ketiga Kepala Dinas Sosial agar melakukan monitoring dan evaluasi penyaluran bantuan jatah hidup melalui aktifasi rekening penerima bantuan dan mengambil langkah-langkah tindak lanjut atas bantuan yang belum diaktifasi serta menyampaikan laporan pelaksanaan penyeluruhan bantuan jatah hidup kepada Gubernur. Kami sangat berharap semua temuan tersebut dapat segera ditindaklanjuti sesuai ketentuan yang berlaku.
