This the money, my payday, I give you. He assessed the more efficient allowance that the benefits obtained by members of the Indonesian parliament were more effective than the official stay previously obtained. Sahroni said the cost of official domestic maintenance would be more than RP. Allowance to members of the DPR, as much as RP. 50 million. Why, because the maintenance costs are infinite, are very damaged by the AC, the equipment in it. Why so much input was made, it was better to get cash allowances. He said the problems obtained from previous official homes were also diverse. Sahroni said that if the treatment was constantly performed, the expenses would be more swollen. “Just to take care of the houses of the House of Representatives, 580 members of the DPR, in the case of the house, everyone is in the case different. For example, like me, I have never had a home, for example, the cost of recovery is still working if there is damage,” Sahroni said. “Imagine, if it’s finally swollen every year, so a cash allowance. Actually lighter,” he added. The Speaker of the House of Representatives has criticized the Speaker of Indonesian Parliament Puan Maharani to listen to criticism regarding the home allowance of a RP management member per month. Puan requested the work of the DPR to oversee. “Whatever, we, the DPR leadership will pay attention to the pursuit and which is transferred by the community. Always monitor our performance in the DPR. If there are things that are not yet perfect, still too excessive, we will evaluate it naturally,” Puan said in the Indonesian parliament, Jakarta, Thursday (8/21). As for the allowance to the management members, the best study went through. The study was adapted to the price in Jakarta, where the DPR is located. “It has been revised as well as possible according to the conditions or prices in Jakarta because the office is in Jakarta,” he said. Puan Maharani during the annual session with the MPR-DPR DPD (doc. YouTube of the presidential secretariat) “but it became one thing we investigated well and the thing revised for 580 DPR members who came out of 38 provinces,” he added. Furthermore, Puan also said there was no salary increase for the DPR. Puan emphasized that the DPR receives no home facilities. “The change is that all DPR members now do not get a house position in Kalibata. Because we handed all the houses in Kalibata and Ulujami to the government or the state,” he said. Meanwhile, Deputy Speaker of the Indonesian Parliament Sufmi Dasco Ahmad also opened the vote. Dasco emphasized that the allowance was only given up to one year alias until October 2025. “That the housing allowance when the DPR members were inaugurated in October 2024, members of the DPR did not receive housing facilities in Kalibata,” Dasco said on the parliament complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Tuesday (8/26/2025). “It is therefore deemed necessary to then provide house facilities in the form of funds for domestic contracts,” he continued. Dasco emphasized that the home allowance of RP. 50 million per month was only given from October 2024 to October 2025. Later, the housing allowance given for one year is used to rent a house for 5 years.

Housing allowance in installments Dasco said that the budget for housing allowance was not yet fully available. Therefore, housing allowance is given in installments. “So from October 2024 to October 2025, payments were paid, so 50 million for five years is used for contract fees each month,” he said. After November 2025, says Dasco, DPR members will not find household grants again. Dasco said the allowance is only for the need to contract DPR members. “Yes, perhaps the explanation yesterday was incomplete, less detailed, which caused polemics in the wider community,” he explained. “So, because the budget is not enough to be given at the same time, so it is paid for a year in installments, but it has also been for five years for the benefit of the House of the House of Representatives,” Dasco continued. The origin of the value of further grants claims that Dasco does not exactly understand the origin of the figure of RP. 50 million. He said the figures usually come from the Minister of Finance and the Secretariat -General. “I was not clear that he was decided at the time; he usually decided in the finance minister, but then the proposal of the Secretariat -General was considered, with the price rental, the price of renting a house in Jakarta for five years, for five years,” he said. He also explained that it was related to the viral statement of the DPR Commission I member TB Hasanuddin who said that the net salary obtained by DPR members each month reached RP 100 million. Dasco emphasized that the number was obtained because it was combined with housing allowance. “Yesterday it was transferred by one of the councilors because it was combined with housing allowance. The allowance of the housing I had already transferred. Well, but if the housing allowance was lost, it’s not that much,” he said. (RDP/RDP)
