CORE ECONOMY, Akhmad Akbar Susanto, said that the 21 programs of candidate pair Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD were better than the free lunch program of candidate pair Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka. “The Ganjar 21 program is a bit better compared to the Prabowo program which goes around at lunch. “But the detailed ideas still need to be tested,” said Akbar when contacted, Wednesday (27/12).

Including the idea of free lunch which according to Akbar is unrealistic. “Imagine, from a budget that is only 900 trillion which is discretionary, what would happen if 400 trillion was spent on free lunches,” said Akbar. A large program certainly requires large funding. One idea for increasing tax revenues, according to Akbar, is not easy. “Based on experience over the last 20 years, it is not easy to increase tax revenue. Our tax ratio has never been more than 12 percent. “This means that it is not easy to increase spending, except with debt,” said Akbar. Previously, the spokesperson for the Ganjar-Mahfud National Winning Team (TPN), Aryo Seno Bagaskoro, said that the 21 superior programs promoted by Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD were more budget-friendly and effective to be realized within five years. Sources of Funding Meanwhile, Executive Director of the Center for Budget Analysis (CBA) Uchok Sky Khadafi assessed that the candidate pair’s campaign promises in the 2024 presidential election should include potential sources of funding. “In order for a campaign promise to be realistic or reasonable, the presidential candidates should discuss their budget sources,” he explained. According to him, by explaining the source of the budget, campaign promises will not burden the presidential and vice-presidential candidates when they are in power, and will not disturb the stabilization of the APBN or not burden the APBN. “By explaining the source of the funds, whoever the presidential candidate will be more trusted by the people and (judged) as not a hoax by people’s perception,” he added. When launching a program, the source of funding should also be stated so that it can be assessed whether the program is realistic or not. “For example, the source of the funds comes from the nickel tax and will be used for free lunches,” he stressed. Uchok said that just paying employee salaries and paying interest and principal on debt could cost at least half of the APBN. “Continue to make promises from the presidential candidates, where will the money come from. And the presidential candidates’ promises which will become programs in the APBN, must be explained by the presidential candidates where the money will come from,” he added. “Yo, tell me where the tax or income comes from? Or to be honest, we will be in debt for the program,” he concluded. (RO/Z-7)
