CMNP Toll Concession Sued, Extension Requirements Allegedly Not Fulfilled

UNSPLASH ILLUSTRATION

JAKARTA - The extension of the Cawang Toll Road concession Tanjung Priok East Ancol Bridge Three/Pluit bridge was sued in court. This is because the process is considered legally flawed.

The lawsuit is known to be registered with case number 407 / Pdt.G / 2025 / PN Jkt.Pst which is registered in the form of a citizen lawsuit or a citizen lawsuit. Meanwhile, the defendant PT Citra Marga Nusaphala Persada (CMNP), the Minister of Public Works, the Toll Road Regulatory Agency (BPJT), the Minister of Transportation, and the Minister of Finance.

KMPAN Advocacy Team member, Netty P. Lubis as the plaintiff suspected that the concession extension was not going through an auction process that should have been mandatory. Netty refused to disclose the details of the data before the trial.

"That's what we will dig up in court," Netty told reporters, Wednesday, September 24.

In the lawsuit, the plaintiff asked the government to take over toll road management and turn it into a non-toll road that residents can pass for free. The request underscores concerns that the extension process will not only be legally flawed, but also detrimental to the public interest.

The contents of the petition demanded that the court recognize the legal standing of the plaintiff, declare an extension of the concession against the law, and cancel the toll road business agreement. In addition, the plaintiff asked the government to bear all court fees.

This legal step shows the public's determination to ensure the management of state strategic assets runs transparently. If the lawsuit is granted, the impact will not only be on CMNP, but also on future national toll road management patterns.

Netty considers this case a test for the government in enforcing concession rules. The auction and performance evaluation provisions should be carried out strictly so as not to cause bad precedent. Extension of concessions without fulfillment of conditions can harm the public and reduce trust in infrastructure governance.

Therefore, this lawsuit is not just a matter of potholes, but a gamble on the principle of justice.

"It's about the public's right to proper public services," said Netty.
