REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Jakarta Deputy Governor Sandiaga Uno denied the allegation from Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) faction at Jakarta Regional Legislative Council on the unqualified opinion (WTP) given by Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) to the Jakarta Provincial Government. He asserted no compromise has been done in order to get the predicate.
"We believe WTP can be achieved with struggle, and we also thank for the guidance from BPK," said Sandiaga on Tuesday (June 5).

BPK only said the clues that must be fulfilled. If unfulfilled, the agency would not give WTP predicate.

Chairman of PDIP faction at Jakarta Regional Legislative Council, Gembong Warsono said the achievement could not be separated from the compromise done by the provincial government leader.
Gembong also said that BPK has shown different attitude toward the current provincial government. Moreover, land status of Sumber Waras has not been clear yet. Therefore, Gembong assessed BPK has been practicing a double standard in the assessment.
The case has made the previous Jakarta governor unable to get WTP predicate, he said. "Furthermore, previous administration did not want to compromise, while the current government is now compromised. That's just the problem," Gembong said.
