Jakarta (B2B) - Pasar Induk Kramat Jati kembali menjadi sorotan nasional setelah untuk kesekian kalinya, setelah Menteri Pertanian RI Andi Amran Sulaiman berulang kali berkunjung di pasar terbesar di DKI Jakarta, dan hari ini (25/6) sang menteri bersama pimpinan Badan Urusan Logistik (Bulog) meluncurkan operasi pasar bahan-bahan pokok ke 22 pasar tradisional di DKI Jakarta.
Setelah Selasa pekan lalu (16/6), Ketua DPR Setya Novanto dan sejumlah pimpinan Dewan mengunjungi pasar induk sayur-mayur, Kamis pagi mendadak muncul Ketua Komisi IV DPR, Edhy Prabowo saat Menteri Amran Sulaiman menjawab pertanyaan wartawan.
Rupanya sang legislator dari Partai Gerakan Indonesia Raya (Gerindra) tak ingin ´kehilangan panggung´ menyikapi kegiatan mitra kerjanya, Kementerian Pertanian RI mendorong harga bahan-bahan pokok yang terjangkau rakyat dan tetap menguntungkan petani.
"Saya apresiasi langkah menteri pertanian memantau hasil produksi petani sejak awal musim tanam, panen hingga pemasarannya ke pasar-pasar tradisional di seluruh Indonesia seperti saat ini," kata Edhy Prabowo.
"Petani tidak boleh ditinggal saat melepas hasil produksinya ke pasar. Rakyat juga tidak boleh dibiarkan mendapatkan bahan-bahan pokok dengan harga yang melambung saat Ramadan hingga lebaran, tanpa campur tangan pemerintah."
Menanggapi apresiasi dari legislator tersebut, Menteri Amran Sulaiman menolak berkomentar. "Nggak perlulah, karena DPR dan pemerintah bekerja bersama untuk kepentingan rakyat."
