JAKARTA - Member of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Hardiyanto Kenneth, has asked DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Rasyid Baswedan to be responsible for the systemic impact of changing 22 street names in the capital city.

The reason, he said, will automatically have an impact on changes in local residents' administrative data, such as Identity Cards (KTP), BPKB, and STNK.

"Changing street names will definitely have a systemic impact, all administrative data for residents will change and that will make it difficult for the community. This is why the DKI Provincial Government has to be responsible. Then in my opinion there is no urgency, for what? many problems," Kenneth said in a statement in Jakarta, Sunday.

According to Kenneth, Anies should have carried out the policy in advance to disseminate information to the public which would have an impact on changes in various types of administrative data.

"It's a pity for residents who don't understand the consequences in the future, it should be explained that later they will change the population data, as well as business units around the road. They definitely have to change the house certificate, IMB address data, Family Card, KTP, BPKB, and STNK. Meanwhile For businesses, they have to change the address of the document, notarial deed, TDP, NPWP, and SIUP which costs a lot, Mr. Anies," said the member of Commission D.

To execute the policy, he continued, Anies and his staff must be responsible for the public administration financing whose data changes, which automatically must find a financing solution.

"The problem that I'm worried about is only one, where will the money to bear the costs come from? If you want to pay it through the APBD, I don't think it's possible. I'm sure that DPRD members will also not agree, including me. Especially after the COVID-19 pandemic for two This year, the DKI Jakarta APBD has experienced a lot of refocusing and budget reductions, so it's impossible to have to bear the burden of policies like this," he said.

Kenneth added that the change in the name of the street would certainly bring good news to Betawi residents. However, the DKI Provincial Government must also think about the negative and positive impacts on residents.

"Governor Anies should be able to think about the negative and positive impacts of this policy on the people of Jakarta, even though there is a statement from the Dukcapil Office to eliminate all costs for replacing ID card data and Family Cards, the public will definitely be bothered going back and forth to Dukcapil to process the file and will definitely take care of the file. So it's a burden for them," he said.

Moreover, people who have motorized vehicles, to change their data, will automatically be charged a Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) fee for replacing the Vehicle Number Certificate (STNK) material.

"My question is, is Governor Anies willing to bear all these costs? Because in the future it will definitely be a burden and the community will be bothered, and have to bear the costs themselves. I hope there is an explanation from Governor Anies Baswedan in a holistic, comprehensive and integral way," said Kenneth. Kenneth also asked the former Minister of Education and Culture at the end of his term not to make strange policies or maneuvers whose impact could become a burden and trouble others.

"If you intend to change the name of the street, try not to make it difficult and burden the community. If you want to give a new street name, you should just look for roads that have not been named. Right in making policies, it should be able to bring benefits to many people, don't make it difficult." ' said Kenneth.

He himself believes that the names of the 22 streets that were previously changed have historical value for the local community.

"Mr. Anies should be able to reconsider this, in making policies, don't use ego, you must think about the interests of the people and don't make it difficult for others. Do not later get a strong reaction and a lawsuit arises from the community like what happened in Kebumen, Java. Middle," said Kenneth.

Previously, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government had immortalized a number of Betawi figures as the names of roads, buildings and special zones in order to make Jakarta a city that respects history.

The dedication of the names of Betawi figures in the public space was symbolically inaugurated in the Betawi Cultural Village Area of Setu Babakan, South Jakarta, last Monday, June 20.
