Although The Application For Debt To SMI To Build The Sunter ITF Was Rejected, The DKI Provincial Government Is Looking For Other Ways

DOK VOI

JAKARTA - Head of the DKI Jakarta Regional Owned Enterprise Development Agency (BP BUMD), Riyadi, said that the DKI Provincial Government will look for other ways to build the Sunter Intermediate Treatment Facility (ITF).

Previously, the DKI Provincial Government had asked the DKI DPRD for permission to apply for a debt to build the Sunter ITF to the BUMN PT Sarana Multi Infrastruktur (SMI). Unfortunately, the DPRD did not allow it.

"ITF Sunter will continue because it is important. The mechanism (financing) is being studied first," said Riyadi to reporters, Friday, December 3.

Riyadi said that one option to fulfill Sunter's ITF development financing is to cooperate with the private sector. However, it has not yet been decided.

What is clear is that DKI continues to maintain the construction of the Sunter ITF because it is able to reduce Jakarta's waste production which will be sent to the Bantargebang TPST.

"A large ITF is able to process 2 thousand tons of waste a day on average. Meanwhile, it is important because our waste is overflowing," he said.

The chairman of the DKI DPRD rejected the proposal for a debt loan budget to build the Intermediate Treatment Facility (ITF) in Sunter, North Jakarta, which was proposed by the BUMD PT Jakpro.

According to the plan, Jakpro will propose a debt of Rp4 trillion to the state-owned company PT Sarana Multi Infrastrukti. Every debt application to PT SMI must be approved by the DPRD.

Prasetyo said that he crossed out the proposed debt application because he did not receive an explanation regarding the details of the use of the Rp4 trillion budget. I definitely refuse," Prasetyo told reporters, Wednesday, November 24.

What surprised Prasetyo was that the DKI Provincial Government initially proposed a debt budget of Rp.

However, after that, the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Anies Baswedan, issued a letter of approval for the loan application to build the Sunter ITF amounting to Rp. 4 trillion. In the letter, Anies explained that debt repayment is planned to be paid in the 2022 to 2024 fiscal year in stages.

Until now, Prasetyo also admitted that he had not received a clear picture from the leaders in parliament regarding this loan.
