CIKARANG – Golkar Faction Chairman of Bekasi Regency DPRD, Novy Yasin, ensures that the people’s interests are always the main priority and are always discussed in every faction meeting. This statement was made to address circulating issues since his inauguration until now.

“In faction meetings, we definitely prioritize people’s affairs. Such as education issues, infrastructure. Recently we also distributed basic food supplies to the community,” said the sibling of former Bekasi Regent Neneng Hasanah Yasin.

In addition, every DPRD member from the Golkar faction is asked to focus more on receiving community aspirations in their electoral districts (Dapil), which are then brought to the faction for discussion and solution-seeking.

“DPRD members of the Golkar faction in their respective electoral districts often record aspirations from the grassroots, which we then bring to faction meetings,” he explained.

However, to conduct faction meeting activities, Novy admits they are not always held in the faction room of the DPRD building. This is because the people’s representatives are often engaged in outside duties or working visits.

“We have a WhatsApp group, sometimes we inform there whether discussions will be held in the faction office or during outside duties,” said Novy, who previously served as Deputy Chairman of DPRD.

Novy, who also serves as Secretary of the Golkar Party DPD, reiterated that the people’s voice is the most important part during faction meetings.

“So if there’s an issue that we never hold faction meetings, I confirm that’s not true. We always and often seek solutions for the people,” emphasized the woman who was once a candidate for Golkar Party DPD Chairman several years ago.

Golkar Faction

The Golkar Faction is a political group within the Indonesian House of Representatives representing the Golkar Party. Founded by the Suharto regime in 1964, the party originally functioned as a political vehicle for the military and civil servants, and it was the dominant ruling party during the New Order era (1966-1998). Today, it remains one of the major political forces in Indonesia’s democratic system.

Bekasi Regency DPRD

The Bekasi Regency DPRD is the local legislative body for the Bekasi Regency in West Java, Indonesia. It was established to represent the people of the regency and is responsible for creating regional regulations, overseeing the local budget, and monitoring the performance of the regional executive government. Its history is tied to the decentralization and regional autonomy reforms in Indonesia following the fall of the New Order regime in 1998.

DPRD building

The DPRD building is the official seat of the Regional People’s Representative Council (DPRD), the legislative body at the provincial or city level in Indonesia. These buildings serve as the center for local governance, where elected representatives debate and pass regional regulations and oversee the local executive branch. The modern function of the DPRD was established after Indonesian independence, with buildings constructed across the archipelago to facilitate regional autonomy and democracy.

Golkar Party DPD

The Golkar Party DPD refers to the regional executive board (Dewan Pimpinan Daerah) of the Golkar Party, a major political party in Indonesia. Historically, Golkar originated as a political vehicle for the Suharto regime and was the dominant ruling party from the late 1960s until 1998. Today, these regional boards are local branches that manage the party’s activities and election campaigns throughout Indonesia’s provinces.
