INFOKU, BLORA –It can be said that the budget efficiency policy implemented by the central government has had a major impact on local governments, including Blora Regency, Central Java.
This cut is a follow-up to Presidential Instruction (Inpres) Number 1 of 2025 concerning the Efficiency of APBN and APBD Spending for the 2025 Fiscal Year.
The impact is that the development of physical infrastructure in Blora is hampered, with the total budget cut reaching IDR 65 billion.
The Chairman of the Blora Regency Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD), Mustopa, revealed that this budget cut had a significant impact on development projects in his area.
"Regarding the budget cuts made by the central government or the Ministry of Finance, Blora Regency has been cut by approximately IDR 65 billion," he said when met by journalists at his office, Wednesday (12/2/2025).
According to Mustopa, the budget cuts mainly came from two main agencies, namely the Public Works and Spatial Planning Agency (DPUPR) and the Food, Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries Agency (DP4).
The following are details of the Special Allocation Fund (DAK) cuts in various physical infrastructure sectors:
* DAK for public works: IDR 27.6 billion.
* Physical DAK for roads: Rp. 20.8 billion
* DAK for irrigation sector: IDR 7.4 billion
* Physical DAK for agricultural food estate sector: IDR 8.2 billion
* Other DAK for food sector: IDR 1 billion
Mustopa emphasized that this budget cut would have a direct impact on infrastructure development in Blora.
According to him, with the reduced budget, road construction, irrigation improvements, and management of the agricultural and food sectors will experience obstacles.
"The impact will certainly be big, physical infrastructure development will be hampered," said the PKB politician.
Currently, the local government is still looking for a solution to overcome the cuts so that priority projects can continue to run according to plan. (Endah / IST )
