JAKARTA - Member of Commission D of DKI Jakarta DPRD Hardiyanto Kenneth asked DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan to pay more attention to damaged roads at a number of points by immediately repairing them.
The reason, said Kenneth, is that currently there are still many damaged roads due to the impact of floods that have inundated the capital city since early 2021, and some of the road points are also damaged because the roads are too old.
"Damaged roads in Jakarta are no longer getting special attention, and according to my findings the DKI Jakarta Bina Marga Department is only making repairs with patchwork. I hope that roads that are already in bad condition must be rebuilt," said the PDIP politician in a written statement quoted Between, Friday, January 7th.
According to Kenneth, if it's just patchwork, it usually won't last long, so a new one has to be made as a solution.
Kenneth should have said that the Bina Marga Office was able to do it, especially since they received an additional budget of Rp. 16.6 billion from the 2021 KUPA-PPAS for repairing damaged roads in Jakarta.
"With such a large budget, there should be no more complaints from residents about damaged roads and potholes in Jakarta. Because so many road users have become victims of this damaged road, from injuries to death due to accidents due to potholes, "said the Head of the Disaster Management Agency (BAGUNA) DPD PDIP DKI Jakarta Province.
One example, Kenneth said he had received reports from people who had an accident on the Grogol Flyover, precisely in front of Trisakti University due to the damaged and potholed road conditions.
Kenneth immediately contacted the Head of the Bridge and Road Division of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Highways, to send the Head of the Bina Marga and a task force in the area to accompany him to check and then immediately repair the damaged flyover.
"After arriving at the location, I did find lots of potholes, and the road was bumpy plus drizzling rain, which made this road even more dangerous for road drivers who would cross this location. follow up on this problem and can immediately repair the damaged road," said the chairman of the PPRA LXII Alumni Family Association (IKAL).
Therefore, Kenneth asked Anies Baswedan not only to spend his concentration on mega projects, but also to prioritize road repairs in the capital and not only focus on protocol roads, because road damage can occur evenly throughout Jakarta, such as on village roads.
"Governor Anies in his final year of office, don't just focus on Formula E and stadium construction, but road damage also needs special attention and must be prioritized. All DKI Jakarta residents have the right to feel smooth roads without any damage, let alone potholes that can be dangerous. life," said Kenneth.
Kenneth also explained Article 24 Paragraphs (1) and (2) of Law Number 22 of 2009 which mandates that Road Operators must immediately and properly repair damaged roads that can lead to Traffic Accidents.
Meanwhile, paragraph (2) states that in the event that it is not possible to repair the damaged road as referred to in paragraph (1), the road operator is obliged to put signs or signs on the damaged road to prevent the occurrence of Traffic Accidents.
"I consider the average road construction development in DKI Jakarta Province between the planning process very different from the reality of the results of the work. Often the plans are good, but when the construction is not appropriate. So the road construction does not meet the requirements, as long as it is finished, so patchwork is done The planning and construction must be in sync, not just build it up and rush it," said Kenneth.
