FAJAR.CO.ID, JAKARTA — The statement of a member of Commission I of the House of Representatives from the Gerindra Party faction, Endipat Wijaya, is now in the spotlight of netizens.

The reason is that he insinuated that the Indonesian people’s aid was worth IDR 10 billion, the echo of which was more audible than the government’s performance.

The insinuation emerged during a working meeting with Komdigi at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Monday (08/12/2025).

During the meeting, Endipat asked Komdigi to improve its public communications strategy so that the government’s work is not marginalized by donation campaigns managed by outside parties.

“In the future, the Ministry of Communication and Technology understands and knows exactly the sensitive national issues and helps the government to inform and amplify the information, so that it is no less viral than its current friends, especially in Aceh, Sumatra, etc. “, said Endipat

Endipat also pointed out some figures who only occasionally appeared at the disaster site, but who appeared to be the most active parties. “There are people who only come once, but they seem to work better in Aceh,” he joked.

He stressed that the government was the first to be present and work from the start of the disaster.

“Even if the State has been present from the beginning, there are new people who have just arrived, who have just built a post, the government does not say that there is one. Even if the government has built hundreds of posts there,” he declared.

The Gerindra faction lawmaker stressed that the public must be clear about the extent of government intervention. “So that the public knows that the performance of the government is already there and it is already excellent,” he said.
