Timika — Special Allocation Funds (DAK) worth Rp36 billion for Mimika Regency are at risk of not being disbursed because two local government agencies (OPD) have yet to meet the required conditions. The central government has set a deadline of July 21, 2025, for uploading contract documents to the Online Monitoring System for Treasury and State Budget (OM-SPAN).
Head of the Mimika Regional Financial and Asset Management Agency (BPKAD), Marthen Tappi Malissa, said that as of now, two DAK-managing OPDs have not uploaded the data needed for disbursement. This delay could result in the funds being forfeited.
Responding to the issue, Acting (Pj) Mimika Regional Secretary, Petrus Yumte, emphasized that DAK is fully the responsibility of the proposing agencies. He called on all parties to strictly follow the disbursement schedule and requirements.
“Basically, DAK is a risk. These agencies submit proposals. It’s conditional funding. If you already know that, then do the work on schedule,” said Petrus.
He added that similar issues have been repeatedly addressed in OPD meetings. Petrus stressed that the agencies managing DAK must ensure all requirements are fulfilled so that the funds can be disbursed.
“If it doesn’t get realized, well, that’s conditional funding. You realize it, you get paid; if not, then you don’t,” he said.
The DAK allocation consists of Rp29 billion for the Health Office and Rp7 billion for the Education Office.
