PORTALJABAR, BANDUNG CITY - Deputy Governor of West Java Erwan Setiawan delivered the Governor's Introductory Note regarding two Draft Regional Regulations (Ranperda) in the Plenary Meeting of the West Java Provincial DPRD in the Plenary Meeting Room of the West Java DPRD, Bandung City, Friday (11/9/2026).

The two Draft Regional Regulations submitted were the Draft Regional Regulation on the Second Amendment to the Regional Regulation of West Java Province Number 22 of 2013 concerning the Establishment of a Regionally-Owned Enterprise Managing West Java International Airport and Kertajati Aerocity and the Draft Regional Regulation on the Establishment and Composition of the Regional Apparatus of West Java Province.

Erwan said that the two draft regional regulations were prepared as part of the West Java Provincial Government's efforts to align regional policies and institutions with development needs and strategic environmental dynamics.

Regarding the second draft regional regulation amending Regional Regulation No. 22 of 2013, Erwan explained that PT Bandarudara Internasional Jawa Barat (BIJB) was established to manage the airport and the Aerocity area. As it develops, PT BIJB still requires adequate capital support to effectively carry out its functions and maintain business continuity.

"The adjustment of authorized capital at PT BIJB is an instrument to strengthen the company's capital structure, improve its financial condition, and encourage business development and collaboration opportunities with strategic partners, both government and private," said Erwan.

According to him, adjustments to authorized capital need to have a clear, measurable, transparent, and accountable legal basis, including those related to the size of authorized capital of BUMD and the proportion of regional government share ownership.

In the Draft Regional Regulation, the authorized capital of PT BIJB is proposed to increase from the original IDR 2.5 trillion to IDR 8 trillion.

Erwan stated that the increase in the authorized capital was motivated by a number of strategic considerations, including accommodating plans for capital participation in the form of regional assets such as land, supporting financial restructuring, and opening up opportunities for strategic investors, both from the government and the private sector.

Meanwhile, regarding the Draft Regional Regulation on the Formation and Composition of Regional Apparatus, Erwan emphasized that regional apparatus is the main instrument in the implementation of regional government as well as an important factor in realizing good governance.

"The design of regional government agencies must be based on the principles of functional accuracy, dimensional accuracy, process accuracy, coordination effectiveness, efficient use of resources, and the ability to adapt to changes in the strategic environment," he said.

Institutional restructuring will be carried out on existing regional apparatus, taking into account the dynamics of national policies and organizational needs so that the government remains effective and efficient in carrying out its functions.

From a regulatory perspective, institutional arrangements are also driven by changes in central government policies that have implications for the organizational structure of regional apparatus, including regulations related to the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD).

In addition, the West Java Provincial Government will strengthen the role and support capacity of the Regional Secretariat to ensure more effective and efficient governance, and establish a new agency to manage assets and regionally-owned enterprises (BUMD).

Institutional arrangements are also directed to support the achievement of the vision, mission, targets and programs of the Governor of West Java as outlined in the RPJMD.

"Another important factor to consider is the strategic environment, particularly the fiscal side, which requires local governments to implement more rational and efficient organizational arrangements," Erwan said.

Through this restructuring plan, the number of regional apparatuses in West Java Province is proposed to change from 38 to 32. The details include a Regional Secretariat remaining one, a Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) Secretariat remaining one, an Inspectorate remaining one, a number of agencies from nine to eight, and a number of services from 26 to 21.

Erwan hopes that this institutional arrangement will strengthen the capacity of the West Java Provincial Government in providing services to the public.

"With this institutional arrangement, it is hoped that we can create a professional, effective government that is oriented towards providing faster, more accurate, and higher-quality public services," he concluded.
