BANTUL – The birth of the Privilege Law which later led to the existence of a special fund (Danais), it turned out that there were not many benefits for the Jogjakarta community. Most of those who felt there was dana are were community leaders and officials.
At least that emerged from the research conducted by the Department of Government Affairs and Administration (IP) of the University of Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (UMY). Only 29 percent of DIY people feel the benefits of the dais. Far compared to the benefits felt by community leaders (33 percent) and officials (20). The rest are community leaders (10), others (7) and youth clubs (1 percent).
The results of the study were conveyed by Researchers on Politics of Decentralization and Welfare who were also UMY Government Science Lecturers, David Efendi at a seminar at Ibrahim Building, 5th floor of UMY, Bantul, Thursday (3/21). In addition, despite the high utilization of dana is accountability, 76 percent in the 2015 survey, there is still a presumption that the practice is unfair in its utilization. That is the practice of rationing thugs via DPRD members according to citizens’ views.
“Six years of Jogja privilege are still a lot that needs to be addressed. The existence of this law is one form of decentralization whose aim is to realize prosperity. Because this special authority is followed by a large budget. “2019 will reach Rp 1.2 trillion,” he explained.
Head of the DIY Central Bureau of Statistics JB. Priyono explained that the percentage of the poor in Jogjakarta in the September 2018 survey was 11.81 percent. Higher than the national average of 9.66 percent. However, in contrast to other regions, DIY, according to him, is an anomaly.
If poverty is an accumulation of circles of education, health, welfare. Strangely, Jogja cannot be judged by that parameter. Judging from the life expectancy (AHH), DIY is ranked first with an average life expectancy of 74.74 years. In addition, from the level of education, school expectations (EYS) in DIY are also number one with 15.42.
While researchers from LIPI, Yogi Setya Permana explained more about the idea of ​​decentralization. The birth of these ideas according to him there is a battle of discourse, discussion, ideas, and synthesis. Also a post-reform historical battle. “It’s not something that is given and doesn’t come from a vacuum,” he said.
Yogi also revealed, aside from the poverty rate, which also needs to be highlighted in DIY is the existence of a high Gini index. According to him, democracy should make inequality not happen. Because it opens an open political space. So that at this time according to him, it needs to be ensured so that the wealth fund can solve the problem of inequality. “Urgent to be resolved,” he explained.
