Deputy Chairman of Parliament Tubagus Hasanuddin questioned the attitude and actions of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) who bought up a number of defense equipment during a visit to Berlin, Germany. Because, during the discussions with the Commission I, Ministry of Defence never mentioned the planned purchase of Germany's armaments.
"So we are questioning, sources of funding will be taken from anywhere. Due to state budget expenditure on defense equipment from Germany that has not been budgeted. Financing if it was purchased through foreign loans, it still had to be discussed in Parliament first," he said at the Parliament complex Senayan, Jakarta , Wednesday, March 6, 2013.
According to him, the action SBY it can not be done unilaterally. "Then why have the House, if the Government is to decide unilaterally that way," said Hasanuddin.
PDI-P politician is that he was concerned if the development program of modernization of defense posture minimum (MEF) as determined and scheduled joint between the Parliament and government, will miss the mark. If the government has always taken a unilateral decision, a time when troubled and can not be used, clear accountability becomes difficult. Including accountability for the use of its budget.
"It's true we're worried about. Due to the fact the government has several times decided unilaterally in defense equipment spending it. Commission And I became difficult position, between approve or reject it. Due goods have been ordered and procurement contracts are the way," he said.
The MoU purchase contracts made in Germany's president, said Hasanuddin, still associated with the purchase of 103 Heavyweight Tank (MBT), 50 Tank Marder (medium tanks), and 18 training aircraft Grob.
Special training aircraft, the House wants to know how much it costs, and the financial resources of nowhere. Because the government has just bought T-50 trainer aircraft of the squadron from South Korea. It is finished for the Strategic Plan (Strategic Plan) through 2014. Principally, who bought it does not go in the Strategic Plan, whether it was in accordance with the requirements or not.
Previously reported, during the visit of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and First Lady Ani Yudhoyono to Berlin, Indonesia seeking cooperation with the German defense equipment.
Defense Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro said in the near future, in the form of additional defense equipment from German Marder Tank will soon arrive, to complete 103 Leopard from Germany. Medium tanks to transport troops will supplement the tools Indonesian combat troops.
"So with this we have a complete unit, no tank light (mild), medium (moderate), and play or heavy (major or severe)," he said.
