JAKARTA - Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Riza Patria revealed that the land acquisition for residents to normalize the Ciliwung River is still in progress. He said the payment for land acquisition would be completed by the end of this year.
"Payment (land acquisition normalization) until the end of December, yes," said Riza at City Hall, Central Jakarta, Thursday, November 11.
If the land acquisition has been carried out, the central government through the Ministry of PUPR can start construction work on the normalization of the river.
Riza said the land acquisition process had been going on for several months. Initially, DKI budgeted Rp851 billion for land acquisition. In fact, the budget will be increased.
"This year the progress will continue. Hopefully in November-December there will be additions and some have been reported by the Natural Resources Service that there is land related to normalization being carried out," said Riza.
It is known that land acquisition is currently being carried out in seven urban villages located on the banks of the Ciliwung River. The acquisition process starts from the field map, appraisal or determination of the selling value of land owned by residents, to deliberation.
In fact, the land clearing process had problems. In September last year, residents were disturbed by the presence of a land broker under the guise of a service bureau in the process of land acquisition.
Reportedly, initially there were parties who disseminated information that land acquisition was difficult if residents took care of themselves.
Until finally, the alleged land broker offered the residents to help with the paperwork needed for land acquisition by setting a fairly large commission.
According to information from residents at the location, the brokers and realtors offered a letter of agreement regarding the acceleration of land acquisition which set a commission of 25 percent of the total replacement of one resident's house. The contents of the agreement were deemed detrimental to the citizens.
Then, the DKI Provincial Government also asked residents to take care of land acquisition independently without help from other parties who are considered irresponsible.
