"In due time we will summon, we will discuss, so that the developers are also responsible for various problems. Not only floods, traffic jams and other environmental problems," said Riza at the City Hall of DKI, Central Jakarta, Monday, February 22. .

Riza admitted that it is not uncommon for private developers to make positive contributions to the surrounding environment, such as improving public infrastructure. However, he admitted that there were also those that had a negative impact.

Therefore, the DKI Provincial Government is currently taking an inventory of problematic developers. If found, they will receive the applicable sanctions.

"We will check, we will re-examine the AMDAL, habitable certificates, and so on. Whoever is guilty must be sanctioned, there are mechanisms and rules that must be responsible for helping," said Riza.

"We will check everything again. Later, all must cooperate with the provincial government in order to help the city of Jakarta," he continued.
