JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan revoked Governor's Decree (Kepgub) No. 122/1997 on the stipulation of 23 hectares of land for the construction of low-cost flats and their facilities in Petamburan Village, Tanah Abang District, Central Jakarta City.
It is known, Governor Decree 122 of 1997 contains plans to build flats on an area of 23 hectares which was previously a residential area for Petamburan residents.
Unfortunately, until now the construction of flats has not been realized. Meanwhile, residents who still have rights to land ownership cannot process permits because of the Governor's Decree.
Residents also cannot take care of land ownership documents, build houses, new buildings, and other uses.
Until finally, Anies revoked Kepgub 122/1997 and issued a new regulation that replaced it, namely gubernatorial Decree No. 1596/2021. This gubernatorial decree allowed residents' requests to be able to apply for permits to build new houses or buildings.
"Governor's Decree No. 122 of 1997 concerning the Determination of Ownership of a 23-hectare Land for the Construction of Cheap Flats and Its Facilities in Petamburan Village, Tanah Abang District, Central Jakarta City, is revoked and declared invalid," Anies wrote in the Governor's Decree, quoted on Friday. , January 7th.
Today, a number of representatives of Petamburan residents came to the DKI City Hall to thank Anies for revoking the governor's decree that prohibited 8,000 families in Petamburan from constructing buildings for 24 years.
"Alhamdulillah, the issuance of Kepgub 1596 revoked Kepgub 122, so 1,230 parcels of land in our area in Petamburan can immediately issue certificates of ownership," said the representative of the Petamburan Citizens Forum, Rezalino Zaini. Petamburan residents have been fighting for their rights for a long time. Previously, they had complained to the previous seven governors, but there was no good progress.
Even a number of DPRD DKI Jakarta members from previous periods did not produce any results. With firm determination, they then asked for help from the PKS faction of the DKI Jakarta DPRD so that Anies revoked the gubernatorial decree.
"For decades, because the council members had tried to advocate in the previous period it didn't work, and also with the governor in the previous period it didn't work either," said Ismail.
"In this period, with his conscience, with his policies, with his courage, Governor Anies Rasyid Baswedan was able to initiate this," he continued.
