Keterangan Pers Mensesneg Prasetyo Hadi, Jakarta, 10 Agustus 2026

Okay, thank you eh friends eh good afternoon. How are you? Long time no see in the DPR. Oh, okay. So, there are a few things we would like to convey on this auspicious occasion today. So, as usual, there are several routine agendas that we carry out, as part of the coordination meetings in preparation for national events. One of them is ee today we had a technical coordination meeting in preparation for the annual state address ee by the President of the Republic of Indonesia which will be held ee later, planned for Friday, August 14, 2026. At the same time ee also discussed ee the series of our independence month ee in August which is already ee on the 10th , the 10th day. So the series that is meant by the series is after the state speech of course there will be several activities as part of our series of traditions to commemorate the 81st anniversary of the independence of the Republic of Indonesia, for example, there will always be a sacred reflection procession at the Heroes' Cemetery on Sunday, the 16th. Then Monday, the 17th is the peak of the event, namely the ceremony to commemorate the proclamation of independence which this year will be held at the Merdeka Palace. In connection with this, we, as the chairman of the committee and the Secretary of the EE, would like to express our gratitude to all Indonesian people who have participated in the ee world ticket to get an ee invitation. However, we can say that because the capacity or area of ​​the palace is also very limited. So, from the agenda or ee slot of approximately 5,500 ee that we prepared for registrants during the 4 days it was opened, it reached ee above 336,000 ee registrants. So once again we say thank you. This is a pleasure and proves that the public's enthusiasm to be able to attend the commemoration of the proclamation is very high. And that's why yesterday we decided as a committee to make another block with a capacity of approximately 3,400. Later, of course, we will divide it into two sessions, namely the morning ceremony and the flag lowering ceremony to increase or accommodate the number of people so that many more people can attend the palace. Secondly, based on data analysis, we would also like to convey that for this year we will divide the portion to prioritize EE for those who have never participated at all . So, from all the EE applicants, we can see the data because there are also those who have participated in the ceremony at the palace in previous years, and also participated last year . now join register again. Well, it's not that it's not allowed, but we will try to divide the portion by trying to prioritize it for our brothers and sisters , our community who have never had it at all. So we divide the portions regarding the agenda of the meeting this morning. Next, we also have permission to convey to all our friends in the media that indeed, during or during the El Nino period, there are still many forest and land fires occurring in some areas of Indonesia. Some of the very ee large number of ee fire points are in West Kalimantan and Central Kalimantan. and a fairly large ee occurred in East Java in the ee Bromo Tengger ee Semeru National Park. ee we continue to coordinate with the provincial government of East Java, then with the Regional Military Commander, the Regional Police Chief, and the Minister of Forestry and all ranks, the Head of the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, to continue to make every effort to carry out the extinguishing process as soon as possible so that it does not continue to spread. while also of course we appeal to all ee people that ee this is indeed a very dry weather condition so that ee is susceptible to ee what sparks of fire occur. So we really ask all members of the public to be vigilant and avoid doing anything that could potentially cause uncontrolled fires . So, including with BMKG, we also had a meeting with BMKG this morning to design weather modification operations. It's just that technically not all ees are possible to do ee OMC, but all are monitored. Then the equipment including water bombing, eh helicopters and planes that can help to overcome the Karutla in accordance with the instructions and orders of the President last night. Today we coordinate everything. I think some things are temporary because of our permission to continue the next coordination meeting. There are still problems with motorcycle taxis and problems, what are they called? First aid kit. Oh, one more thing I forgot. Another important thing is that today, on the instructions of the President, we were officially sent and assigned to submit several presidential decrees to the DPR. Earlier, we coordinated with the leadership of the DPR, including Mrs. Puan and Mr. Dasko, and we officially handed over several surprises. The first is a ee surprise regarding the ee definitive candidate for Governor of Bank Indonesia along with the ee replacement candidate for senior deputy and replacement candidate for deputy governor because the number has been reduced by one. The second is a surprise from the OJK commissioner. The third is a surprise for the prospective ambassadors to friendly countries. So that's all we can report. At the same time as the coordination meeting, we also officially submitted the survey to the DPR, so that we can then submit the mechanism to the House of Representatives in accordance with applicable regulations and laws . That's all, thank you. For a single BI Governor or are there several names, sir? For a single BI Governor or there are several names. So what is this actually called? Let the DPR have the authority to convey that the name is singular. The name is singular, meaning the current one. Oh, this means asking for the name, right? Yes. Hey, even though it's for the DPR's victory, because journalists asked, media friends must also be waiting, right? So, ee, the name is singular, one name, namely Mrs. Destri Damayanti, who is currently serving as acting governor . Tomorrow, the DPR leadership will officially convey this to media colleagues and the public. Okay, that's enough for now. Thank you. How about filling the positions of deputy minister and deputy minister, sir? Not yet. That was yesterday because there was a question about resavel, so ee, until today there are no plans for resavel. Well, what we are saying is that even if there are any, the priority is probably to fill positions that for some reason are currently vacant. Well, for example, Bentan was given the task of fixing our national nutrition agency. Then WN I Mipas, who yesterday was hit by what is called a legal case, right? Is it enough if the surprise is what the candidate for Chief of Police is? Huh? The candidate for the surprise work, the three I mentioned earlier, is the axe. Last one, yeah. Lastly, we would like to express our deepest gratitude and appreciation to all the people we monitored in the month of our independence in commemorating the 81st anniversary of the independence of the Republic of Indonesia. Many ee initiatives are being held throughout Indonesia. Creativity, innovation, competitions ranging from modern, traditional to unique. ee all ee what are you trying to participate in enlivening, participating in enlivening the implementation of our independence month ee for us once again to say ee thank you very much for the initiatives including yesterday we monitored there was a flash mob from our friends ee silat yes which was organized by PB IPSI this is also a form of appreciating our martial arts culture yes part of commemorating the independence HUD shown. Of course, we all have expertise, have professions, have our respective fields, and as Indonesian children, let's fill this month of independence with love for our homeland, full of the spirit of unity, full of nationalism, full of pride in the nation and country that we love. That's all, thank you. I'll continue later after this. Yes, that's why I've already said that we'd like to ask for some time because after this, we want to finalize what you asked about, the Ojol Presidential Decree and the decision regarding the P3K issue as well. Huh? Asking for the number, then asking for the contents, sir. [laughs] Okay, thank you, bro. Did the Chief of Police and the Commander-in-Chief take part in the discussion earlier, bro? It's the meeting . Yes Earlier we discussed preparations for the 14th. How is the security, sir, from the government's anticipation? August's security is technical, right? Later, Mr. Kapori and Mr. TNI Commander, our field is not in that. But everything is okay yeah. Everything is prepared as well as possible. Of course, that is part of our collective responsibility. Like this, it seems like there is a proposal for ee, maybe in this cabinet, ee can surprise people but also from the party. What do the palace think about it? Yes, we accept your proposal. Thank You. We'll think about it later. Okay, thank you. There has been no discussion about that yet. Okay, thank you. Always be healthy and have lots of friends
