JAKARTA - Illegal billboards and banners are still scattered on the streets of Jakarta. Inggard Joshua, Deputy Chairman of Commission A DPRD DKI Jakarta highlighted this condition.

Inggard emphasized that there were already regulations prohibiting the installation of unauthorized billboards and banners on main roads and public spaces.

"This means that it makes the view of the city not good. In fact, all of this must be put in order. And it is the duty of the Satpol PP to carry out security," said Inggard to journalists, Wednesday, January 18.

Even though the cleaning continues to be carried out by the DKI Satpol PP ranks. The billboards and banners are also increasingly lively along with the 2024 Election stages which are now underway.

Because of this, Inggard asked the public who saw billboards and banners being spread out of place so that it disturbed the view, they could report this to the local sub-district and sub-district so that it could be cleaned up.

"If from the community there are complaints regarding the irregular installation of billboards, just report them to the nearest village or sub-district because they have Satpol PP apparatus," said Inggard.

On that occasion, Inggard reminded all parties not to place billboards and banners illegally. This is because the content in the props is included in the form of marketing.

Meanwhile, the local government has regulations that require all parties to install their products on official facilities, which are subject to an advertisement tax fee to enter the regional treasury.

"When there are banners, they can be used to popularize the product in the form of a business. If it does have to be paid, there is a fee. So, don't put up banners carelessly," explained Inggard.

Therefore, Inggard also asked the DKI Satpol PP staff to educate the public regarding the rules for installing billboards and banners.

"There are lists of protocol streets where billboards are not permitted. Now, they (Satpol PP) will disseminate them to the community so that people understand and comply, so that all the streets don't become like clothesline hangers," he added.
