Optimalization Strategy for Purwakarta Regional Revenue: Synergy Between the Regency Government, Public Prosecutor's Office, and Public Awareness

Purwakarta - Efforts to boost regional financial independence through Optimization of Local Original Income (PAD) were a key focus in a talkshow program broadcast live by Radio Pro FM Purwakarta via its social media channels on Thursday (September 10, 2026).

The talkshow, hosted by Host, Rudy Aliruda with speakers Purwakarta Regent, Saepul Bahri Binzein and Head of the Purwakarta Public Prosecutor's Office, Yudhi Kurniawan, thoroughly discussed various strategies, challenges, and legal mitigation steps involving local government elements and law enforcement agencies.

During the event, Purwakarta Regent Saepul Bahri Binzein (Om Zein) emphasized that active community contribution through compliance with tax payments, particularly Land and Building Tax (PBB), is an important foundation for accelerating the pace of infrastructure development and improving public service quality.

"Every income from taxes paid by the public will be managed transparently and accountably," said Om Zein in the talkshow.

He stated that budget management is directed towards programs that have a direct impact on the welfare of Purwakarta residents. He also emphasized the importance of cross-sector collaboration to ensure that no regional revenue potential is neglected.

Meanwhile, to ensure that PAD optimization runs cleanly from corruption, Head of the Purwakarta Public Prosecutor's Office, Yudhi Kurniawan, explained strategic legal mitigation steps. The prosecutor’s role does not only focus on enforcement but also preventative oversight.

"Its Implementation, first related to legal assistance (Datun) by providing legal assistance to local governments and managing agencies so that regional tax and fee regulations comply with the legal corridor," said Yudhi.

Subsequently, to prevent PAD leakage, the Public Prosecutor's Office also conducts preventive surveillance of leaks in tax, fees, or unproductively managed regional assets.

"Furthermore, we conduct legal education, by educating related agencies and taxpayers to foster a legal awareness and avoid fraudulent practices," said the Kajari.

This is done to enforce compliance, for example by sanctioning non-compliant taxpayers or businesses through persuasive civil procedures.

Closing, the Kajari stated that through strengthening synergy between local governments, law enforcement agencies, and increasingly high public awareness, Purwakarta optimistically can optimize PAD potential sustainably. 

The tactical step is expected to close fiscal leaks while realizing good governance that is clean and oriented towards serving the public. (Diskominfo Purwakarta)
