JAKARTA - Member of Commission A of the DKI DPRD Kevin Wu Jakarta assessed that the handling of illegal parking by the DKI Provincial Government has not touched the root of the problem. The crackdown that has been carried out is considered ineffective because illegal parking practices often reappear after officers have finished operating.
According to him, the pattern of temporary enforcement will not solve the problem if it is not accompanied by firm sanctions against parties who open illegal parking stalls.
"There needs to be firm action from the DKI Provincial Government not only to discipline, but also to take action against those who open these illegal parking stalls," Kevin told reporters, Sunday, February 22.
He highlighted the practice that often repeats at a number of vulnerable points. After the officers left, the illegal parking lot resumed operations as usual.
"The reason is, the enforcement that is carried out is less effective. People can go back to opening their illegal parking stalls when the enforcement is completed and the condition is felt to be safe again," he said.
Therefore, he asked the DKI Provincial Government to impose sanctions in accordance with the applicable rules. In Regional Regulation Number 8 of 2007 concerning Public Order, there are provisions regarding fines and imprisonment for violators of order.
Kevin emphasized that sanctions were needed so that perpetrators felt a deterrent effect and did not repeat their actions.
"So, the perpetrators need to feel the deterrent effect so that they do not repeat their actions later," said Kevin.
Previously, the DKI Jakarta Satpol PP mapped 19 sidewalk points in five city areas in the Tertib Trotoar Month (BTT) program during Ramadan. The crackdown is focused on street vendors (PKL) and illegal parking who often use the sidewalk.
Head of the DKI Jakarta Satpol PP Satriadi said this step was taken to restore the function of the sidewalk as a pedestrian space, without immediately prohibiting traders from making a living.
"It will be discussed that for the sidewalks where the takjil-takjil traders are, we will be orderly. We will do it. We do not forbid them to sell, but we will manage it so that it does not interfere with pedestrians," said Satriadi in West Jakarta, Wednesday, February 18.
The following are the 19 sidewalk points that are the location of the ban: 1. Central Jakarta: - Kramat Raya Street - Cikini Raya Street - Pegangsaan Timur (around Cikini Station) - Taman Jatibaru Street - Jatibaru Workshop (around Tanah Abang Station) - Jalan Ir. H. Juanda - Pecenongan - Jalan Palmerah Timur - Student Army (around Palmerah Station) - Jalan Bendungan Walahar
