Rules on Village Funds Frequently Change, Iwan Sulaiman Soelasno Urges Government to Return to the Village Law Mandate

JPNN | Local Language | News | Nov. 20, 2025 | Regulation

Iwan Sulaiman Soelasno, Secretary General of the Nusantara Village Empowerment Volunteers, has raised concerns over the frequent changes in government regulations related to the financing of the Merah Putih Village Cooperative (KDMP). He criticized the plan to take Rp 40 trillion annually from Village Funds over six years for installment payments, arguing that constant regulatory revisions create confusion among village government apparatus and increase the risk of corruption accusations. He urged the government to adhere to the mandate set by the Village Law regarding Village Fund regulation.

According to Iwan, the Village Fund, as stipulated in Law Number 3 of 2024, is intended to finance local village-scale priorities decided through Village Deliberation and formalized in a Village Regulation. He emphasized that the government’s Kopdes Merah Putih project should strengthen local village authority in line with the Village Law, rather than creating unclear definitions due to changing regulations.

Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa confirmed the government’s intent to revise the financing regulations for Koperasi Merah Putih, including the installment scheme using Rp 40 trillion annually from Village Funds for six years. Village Funds for 2026 have been allocated at Rp 60.6 trillion.
