Land for UMKM stalls burned in Kalibata owned by the Provincial Government, Pramono will find a solution

JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung admitted that the UMKM stalls that were burned following the clashes in the Kalibata area, South Jakarta, on Thursday, December 11 were on land owned by the DKI Provincial Government.

So, Pramono will coordinate with the police and related parties to find solutions to the impact of losses of street vendors (PKL) whose stalls were burned. Pramono admitted that he had asked the ministry related to MSMEs to study the conditions on the ground.

"The land belongs to the Provincial Government. The Provincial Government will sit down with the parties concerned," said Pramono in Setiabudi, South Jakarta, Sunday, December 14.

However, before following up on this matter, Pramono is still waiting for the results of the police investigation. This is because there is a criminal case that resulted in two people dying at the scene.

"For Kalibata, I am still waiting for the official decision from the National Police," said Pramono.

As previously reported, two eagle eyes were killed by a group of unknown people (OTK) in front of TMP Kalibata. The incident occurred after the two victims stopped a motorcyclist who passed by the location.

Polda Metro Jaya then named six suspects in this case. They are members of the Police Service Headquarters (Yanma) at the National Police Headquarters with initials JLA, RJW, IAB, IAM, BN, and AN.

"Based on the results of the investigation, the investigation and examination of witnesses, the investigators have named six people as suspects," said Karo Penmas Div Humas Polri Brigjen Trunoyudo Wisnu Andiko at a press conference at the Ditreskrimum building of the Polda Metro Jaya, Friday, December 12.

In this case, the suspects are charged with Article 170 Paragraph 3 of the Criminal Code. "The application of these articles is based on evidence," he concluded.

The South Jakarta Metro Police Chief, Kombes Nicolas Ary Liliy Pali, explained that there were two cases being handled, namely the beating which caused one victim to die and another was seriously injured, as well as the destruction of the stalls owned by residents.

"The vandalism that was carried out caused the victim to die and suffer serious injuries. Meanwhile, the destruction of residents' belongings was allegedly carried out by a mass group," he said.

According to him, the beating of the two debt collectors triggered a reaction from the victim's colleagues, who numbered around 80 to 100 people. The crowd came suddenly and destroyed a number of stalls around the scene of the incident.

"Actually, we from the police have anticipated it, but the mass force that suddenly came, about 100 people, damaged the stalls around this place," he explained.
