JAKARTA - Deputy Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Kartika Wirjoatmodjo admitted that he was annoyed with PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero). This is because the Jakarta Bandung (KCJB) high-speed rail project was not built with good planning.

Tiko, Kartiko Wirjoatmodjo's nickname, said that the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed train does not yet have road access. In fact, this project will soon operate.

"With this PMO, I miss one thing. Last November I just realized it, we forgot to think about station access. I was also annoyed yesterday with KAI's children, so I haven't thought about the station access yet," he said at the virtual InJourney event, Tuesday, August 1.

As a result, Tiko revealed that Karawang Station and Padalarang Hub Station will be opened late. In fact, if Karawang Station is opened now there is no road access in front of it.

Karawang, it has no road access to the main road, then we encourage it now, this is why Karawang and Padalarang are only the end of the year, because if we open the station in front of it there is no road. How come this suspension can be missed. So, the train is there, the road in front of it has not been made," said Tiko.

"I said how is the planner, there is no road problem, only now do you want to build it," he continued.

Even so, Tiko said that in project work there will always be blind spots or blind spots. Therefore, said Tiko, in a team, one must remind each other.

"But the event with the PMO given was so big because I focused on the delivery of the train, forgot, it was only last November that we checked last year, it turns out that the road has not been built. Now this is that the blur spots always appear. Now the team is healthy, who reminds each other," he said.
