JAKARTA - Head of the DKI Jakarta Regional Owned Enterprise Development Agency (BP BUMD), Riyadi said PT Jakarta Propertindo used a loan scheme to be able to carry out the construction of the Sunter Intermediate Treatment Facility (ITF).

"A loan of IDR 2.8 trillion for ITF Sunter," said Riyadi to reporters, Thursday, November 4.

Riyadi said that the capital loan would be proposed by the DKI Provincial Government to PT Sarana Multi Infrastruktur (Persero). So, later Jakpro owes it to the DKI Provincial Government.

He admitted that the loan will be accompanied by interest. "Yes (there is interest), but I don't think it's too big. I don't know the figure because it depends on the PT SMI," said Riyadi.

The Sunter ITF development debt is not included in the national economic recovery loan (PEN) which is widely used by local governments during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Separately, the Head of the DKI Jakarta Environmental Agency, Asep Kuswanto, revealed that the money loan scheme is a way out for new sources of funding.

This is intended so that the project can be started immediately. Bearing in mind, ITF Sunter is a program of DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan who was promised before his term of office expires next year.

"Indeed, the ITF is part of the promise, Mr. Governor. At least, there must be progress. In the future, we can accelerate it. The target is to start construction by the middle of next year," said Asep.

In total, the DKI Provincial Government is planning the construction of four ITFs. It is targeted that the ITF has started construction in mid-2022 or before the term of office of the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Anies Baswedan ends.

The construction of the ITF is included in one of the programs instructed by Anies to be carried out immediately. The ITF is included in Ingub Number 49 of 2021 concerning the Settlement of Regional Priority Issues for 2021-2022.
