JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Population and Civil Registration Service (Dukcapil) said that the plan to form a special committee (pansus) for the DKI DPRD regarding the change of street names does not affect the administrative process of replacing population documents.

"We are optimistic because we see the achievement of providing 90 percent of population documents for ID cards and family cards," said Head of the DKI Dukcapil Office, Budi Awaluddin, as quoted by ANTARA, Friday, July 15.

He revealed that the administrative process of changing population documents is still ongoing.

Budi said that based on data up to July 15, 2022, the print target for Family Cards (KK) is 1,358 sheets and 2,909 Identity Cards (KTP) are printed.

Of that amount, the number of KK in the process reached 1,699 or had exceeded 100 percent of the target and the number of ID cards in the process of being printed reached 2,905 sheets or 99.86 percent.

According to him, the reason the KK printing process exceeded the target was because in Pulau Seribu there was a new road that previously did not have a name.

Not only that, there was also a change in the address column because there was a change in population data for reasons of marriage.

"In Seribu Island previously there were no street names, after they got a street name they asked to add a road. In addition, in the field there were additions because there were people who had just moved, updating the data due to changing stairs," he said.

Meanwhile, a number of residents who had refused, including those in Tanah Tinggi, Central Jakarta, he continued, have now begun to accept and participate in changing population data.

"Tanah Tinggi is 100 percent, Bambu Apus has also started to move," he said.

Previously, Commission A of the DKI Jakarta DPRD planned to form a special committee (pansus) regarding the change of 22 street names and the plan was to change the name of the streets in the capital city which invited pros and cons in the community.

"So that in the future something like this will not happen again. This is just the initial stage of changing the name of the road. The next stage, he said, there will be many road names that will be changed," said Chairman of Commission A of DKI DPRD, Mujiyono in Jakarta, Thursday (14/7). ).

The formation of the special committee also answered public complaints related to the change in the name of the road which had an impact on changes to a number of basic population documents and other administrative documents.

In line with Mujiyono, a member of Commission A of the DKI DPRD, Gembong Warsono, supports the plan to form the special committee.

He hopes that the special committee can resolve the polemics that have arisen due to the change in the name of the street.

"We want to know what the urgency is to change the name of the street," said the PDI-P politician.
