JAKARTA - Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono responded to complaints from residents regarding extortion by members of the DKI Jakarta City Parks and Forest Service (Distamhut) to residents.

Heru said this report would be submitted to the DKI Jakarta Inspectorate to find out who the perpetrators of the extortion were.

Heru conveyed this when he visited the complaint desk on the pavilion terrace of the DKI Jakarta City Hall this morning.

"Yes, there is a mechanism. Let the inspectorate serve," said Heru at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Wednesday, October 19.

Later, the DKI Jakarta Inspectorate will conduct an examination of related parties and submit it to the investigation report (BAP) to determine the violations committed.

"There is a BAP process," he said.

For information, this table as a citizen complaint service has been implemented since the era of Joko Widodo, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok), and Djarot Saiful Hidayat served as Governor of DKI Jakarta.

Starting Tuesday, October 18, the complaint desk will be opened from 08.00 WIB to 09.30 WIB. A total of 7 complaints were reported on Tuesday, starting from extortion issues to floods.

Martina Gunawan, a resident of Bambu Apus, East Jakarta, complained about the problem of poor bureaucracy at the DKI City Parks and Forest Service (Distamhut). The Martina family wants to propose land acquisition on the green line.

"We proposed this land to be acquired by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government, starting from 2016. After seeing the zoning, our land is green. So we were given a position to proceed to the Forestry Service at that time," Martina said when met at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Tuesday, October 18.

After visiting Distamhut, it turned out that Martina was asked to pay. The technical management unit (UPT), which takes care of land acquisition, also processes land acquisition by being long-winded.

"We feel that it is done unprofessionally, impartially, long-winded, and there is a request for money by UPT personnel at the Park Service. The value is varied from Rp150 million to 2.5 percent (of land value). But I don't want to pay a penny," explained Martina.

"Frankly, as ordinary residents, we are confused," he continued.
