JAKARTA - The process of renovating a burning building at the Attorney General's Office (AGO) became a problem because of its status which was claimed as a cultural heritage building. However, after being traced based on existing data on the building, the Adhyaksa corps still has the status of a restored area.

"According to data from 1973, I know that the restoration area entered the main building of the Attorney General's Office," said Kapuspenkum Kejagung, Hari Setiyono to reporters, Tuesday, August 25.

The designation of the Attorney General's building as a restoration area, said Hari, was based on the 1973 Regional Regulation (Perda). However, in that same year, there was already a designation as a cultural heritage area.

"The area of the Attorney General's Office consists of several buildings and one of them is the main building where the fire occurred yesterday," said Hari.

That way, building renovations cannot be done arbitrarily. Because, his party had a warning from the Tourism Office when adding a few trinkets to beautify the building.

"At that time, we only added accessories that did not change the shape of the main building and even then we got a warning from tourism," said Hari.

So, everything related to building renovation will be left to the experts. Besides that, it is supervised by the Cultural Heritage Conservation Center.

"Later the expert will say whether the structure of the building which has been burned for a long time in nearly 12 hours will still be strong or not. Of course we will hand over the experts," said Hari.
