Head of Bengkulu City DLH, Riduan, said that the Bengkulu City DLH waste levy target for 2024 could be achieved this year.
"This year's target has not changed, it is IDR 2.5 billion, and this is still waiting for the regional regulation to be ratified, and the hope is achieved," explained Riduan.
Currently we are still waiting for the results of the Central and Provincial Government's evaluation of the Regional Regulations (Perda) on Taxes and Retributions that have been submitted.
But until now it has not been implemented.
"This target can be achieved when we implement the new rates in the regional tax and levy regulations, which we are currently still waiting for when they will be implemented," explained Riduan.
The dilemma, said Riduan, is that if there is no implementation of new tariffs, DLH is pessimistic about the targets that have been set.
"If we still use the old regional regulations, it is difficult to achieve this. If we use the new regional regulations, with an average increase of 86 percent, God willing, we can achieve this," said Riduan.
In 2023, from the target of IDR 2.5 billion, only 30 percent more than the target was achieved.
This is due to several problems such as the large number of people who do not pay appropriately and also tariffs that are no longer rational.
"Last year only IDR 1 billion was achieved, and this is far from the target because our rates are still using the old rates," explained Riduan.
Riduan hopes that by maximizing existing routes and updating levy rates, he can increase the realization of PAD for waste levies for Bengkulu City DLH.
"The route is fixed and there will be no additions, and we are optimistic about the tariff increase for the realization of PAD this year," said Riduan.
Riduan confirmed that there would be outreach to the public regarding the increase in levy rates this year.
"Of course we will socialize it, so that people know and can pay according to the regional regulations," explained Riduan
