JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Environment Agency (DLH) has stated that fines for violations of cleanliness during the Motor Vehicle Free Day (HBKB) will go directly to the regional treasury.

"It's a kind of retribution, it's not handled by officers but goes directly to the regional treasury," said DKI Jakarta Environment Agency Coordinator for Counseling and Public Relations, Yogi Ikhwan, as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, November 7.

The maximum fine imposed on violators is up to IDR 500,000.

However, the imposition of sanctions is left to the discretion of officers in the field.

If the violator is socio-economically lacking in money, then the sanction given is a social sanction, namely cleaning up trash in an area around a radius of 200 meters.
