JAKARTA - Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono admitted that he was not aware of the issue of improving the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) being dragged into the political realm. Heru also doesn't want to bother about this polemic.
"I don't know. I knew I worked," said Heru, Tuesday, July 11.
Heru assessed that JIS is a well-functioned stadium. It's just that, according to him, JIS needs to be refined. Given, the government has made JIS an option for the U-17 World Cup venue.
"Actually, the sentence is not revitalization, but improvement. JIS is already good, already good, we improve facilities and infrastructure in the surrounding environment. JIS is good. Yes, indeed, the need to go in to watch, the community needs access out and transportation, we prepare," he explained.
Previously, a spokesman for the presidential candidate Anies Baswedan, Surya Tjandra, accused a number of President Joko Widodo's ministers of JIS of political origin.
According to Surya, the arrival of PUPR Minister Basuki Hadimuljono and SOE Minister Erick Thohir reviewed JIS and immediately set a renovation plan more like part of a politicization plan than for the implementation of the U-17 World Cup host.

This, said Surya, can be seen from the results of the government inspection which further highlighted the grass repair plan by inviting a grass contractor to the stadium in Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta.
"In fact, suddenly someone became a grass expert just to show the shortcomings of JIS. Obviously this is only intended for politicization of presidential candidate Anies Baswedan," Surya said in his statement, Wednesday, July 5.
According to this former PSI politician, it should be the one who can judge whether it is feasible or not is FIFA. Instead, it is considered unethical when someone who has a business interest is asked to provide an evaluation.
What is clear is that it has business interests. So what are the results of the evaluation can be trusted? Methodically, how can grass be sampled, which is outside the match line? " he said.
