Pramono Writes To Adhi Karya, Asks To Unload The Mangkrak Monorel Pole

JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung will send a letter to PT Adhi Karya (Persero) Tbk. to dismantle the stalled monorel pole along Jalan HR Rasuna Said and the Senayan area.

Pramono explained that the stalled monorel project has legal cases that cannot be followed up carelessly.

In the court's decision, the assets of the monorail pole were declared to belong to Adhi Karya so that the state-owned company could dismantle it.

"Because the monorail pole belongs to PT Adhi Karya, even though there has been a decision by the District Court and also the government, Jakarta has also received direction from Jamdatun. Then the person who has the right to dismantle it is Adhi Karya. We will write to Adhi Karya for that," said Pramono at Lippo Mall Nusantara, South Jakarta, Tuesday, June 10.

However, Pramono did not rule out the opportunity for the DKI Provincial Government to help Adhi Karya to participate in dismantling the stalled monolle if needed.

"If then Adhi Karya says it is unable, then the Jakarta government will take action to clean up. What is clear is that we now know the legal issue in detail," said Pramono.

Previously, Pramono admitted that he was starting to be disturbed by the existence of monorail poles that were stalled along Jalan HR Rasuna Said and the Senayan area, Central Jakarta. According to him, this destroys the beauty of Jakarta.

Since the monorel project stopped in the middle of the road until now, Jakarta has changed leadership of the governor many times. However, no resolution has been made from the existence of the "bangkai" of the pilepole.

"If all of you pass by Rasuna Said and Senayan. There are columns for monorils that to this day don't want to be resolved," said Pramono at Taman Ismail Marzuki, Central Jakarta, Tuesday, May 20.

"For the Jakarta government, this is very disturbing. So it's not the monorail that continues, but what will the unstable pillars do? Is it cleaned? What is it made?" Pramono continued.

Since several years ago, the pole of the Jakarta monorail project that has stalled along the HR Rasuna Said road and Jalan Asia Afrika has begun to be considered disturbing.

Initially, the construction of this monorail project in Jakarta began in 2004. At that time, the Governor of DKI was still held by Sutiyoso. The DKI Provincial Government is working with PT Jakarta Monorail as the developer or investor of the project.

Many dreams were shared in the Jakarta monorail project. At that time, Sutiyoso planned a monorail to be included in the integration of transportation in DKI, apart from Transjakarta and the MRT development plan.

The failure of the project began after several years of construction. When the monorail pole was held, DKI Governor Fauzi Bowo (who replaced Sutiyoso) stopped this development due to financial problems.

PT Jakarta Monorail asked for compensation to DKI amounting to Rp600 billion rupiah. Foke refused and would only pay according to the recommendations of the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) for a maximum of Rp204 billion. Unfortunately, this does not produce a common ground.

In 2014, former DKI Jakarta Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama canceled his contract with PT Jakarta Monorail. This resulted in the fate of the poles that had been built being increasingly unclear. Later, the pole assets belonged to PT Adhi Karya as the executor of the construction.

Years have passed, the DKI Provincial Government has yet to decide on a solution to determine the fate of the stalled project pole. The iron pole of the monorail also became the object of theft in 2021.
