RADAR BOGOR - West Java Governor, Dedi Mulyadi, admitted that he needed large funds for development sourced from taxes.

 

"There must be rationalization, how we want to build roads, want to build bridges, want to build irrigation, want to build educational facilities, want to build health facilities must use money, where does the money come from?," said Dedi Mulyadi.

 

"What is the source of income for West Java (Jabar) going to rely on? We don't have coal, we don't have gold mines like in other places," continued the former Purwakarta Regent.

 

He further said that the largest income that West Java earns is from factory or industrial investment taxes.

 

Although, said Dedi Mulyadi, there must be governance that must be improved by the central government.

 

"What is the governance? The factory is in Karawang, the factory is in Bekasi, the factory is in Subang, the factory is in Purwakarta, the factory is in Bogor but the PPh 21 falls to the DKI Jakarta Regional Government," said Dedi Mulyadi.

 

"The management of that has to be fixed, why? Because the Tax Office calculates it from its head office," he said.

 

"The smell is here, the money is from Jakarta," continued Dedi Mulyadi.

 

But behind that, he said, if the industry is a chicken, then if you want to have eggs, the formula is to take care of the chicken until it is fat.

 

"It means that we maintain the investment together, do not disturb it," he said.

 

According to him, when the release is not disturbed, when the industry is built, do not disturb it, when the workforce is recruited.

 

Dedi Mulyadi emphasized that the West Java Provincial Government is here to provide guarantees of investment, security, recruitment, adequate resources with guaranteed infrastructure.

 

Dedi Mulyadi admitted that he had started collecting data.

 

"Hey, what do you need for your factory? Roads, I budget for it, what do you need for water? I prepare it, we build connectivity for the water. Although it's a bit difficult, we are here to provide them with a guarantee," he explained.

 

"For what? To compete with Vietnam, China so that they are comfortable, if they are comfortable there will be recruitment," he explained.

 

Dedi Mulyadi further explained that entrepreneurs who build industries will have laborers in the factory, after that the materials absorbed will also be money.

 

"If entrepreneurs feel protected, then we don't need to talk, they also understand what we want," he concluded. (*)
