Acting Head of the DKI Jakarta Public Housing and Settlement Area (DPRKP) Retno Sulistyaningrum said that until now there have been no residents of Kampung Bayam who are interested in inhabiting the Nagrak Rusunawa.

In fact, the DKI Provincial Government had previously offered residents of the former eviction for the construction of the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) to live in the flat located in Cilincing, North Jakarta.

"Until today, it has been confirmed that no one has occupied the Nagrak Flat. However, it has been offered," said Retno when contacted, Friday, July 14.

Retno also emphasized that the Nagrak Flat is an alternative solution so that residents of Kampung Bayam can live in residential areas at affordable rental costs.

"We are coordinating with the Mayor, for the residents of Kampung Bayam, we are ready to accommodate the Nagrak Flats. The Mayor has communicated it to its citizens," said Retno.

However, seeing that no resident of Kampung Bayam was interested in moving to the Nagrak Flats, Retno admitted that his party could not do much.

"That's what I can't answer, because it has to be from the residents of spinach itself. But that's the principle, yes, we have tried to accommodate all residents who are entitled to flats," he added.

Some residents of Kampung Bayam are still living in the tent they built near Kampung Susun Bayam.

Kampung Susun Bayam has been established, but they still cannot occupy it because they have not agreed with the rental price set by PT Jakarta Propertindo as the manager BUMD.

Jakpro is determined to set a tariff of around Rp600 thousand to Rp700 thousand per month. In contrast to the demands of the residents of Kampung Bayam who demand a rental fee of only Rp150 thousand per month.

Referring to the Regulation of the Governor of DKI Jakarta Province Number 55 of 2018 concerning Adjustment of Housing Service Retribution Tariffs, the rates offered by Jakpro refer to the general category rental fee. Meanwhile, residents demanded that Kampung Susun Bayam be included in the programmed category.
