JAKARTA - The chairman of the PSI faction of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Anggara Wicitra Sastroamidjojo, responded to the slow plan for the construction of the Sunter Intermediate Treatment Facility (ITF), which has not yet been carried out. The construction of this waste processing facility into electrical energy has not yet started, so the DKI Provincial Government has written to PT Jakarta Propertindo (Jakpro) to speed up the search for investors. Jakpro is a BUMD assigned to build the Sunter ITF. “ ITF is one of the priority programs that cannot be completed by PT Jakpro who received an assignment. This year the target is for the Sunter ITF to be completed, but it seems that Jakpro is very slow until the DKI Provincial Government has to write a written letter specifically,” Anggara said in his statement, Thursday, February 23. Ara assessed that Jakpro's slow pace in dealing with Sunter's ITF planning was caused by too many assignments by the DKI Provincial Government during Anies Baswedan's tenure as Governor of DKI Jakarta. This resulted in Jakpro not focusing on running development programs. “Jakpro is mismanagement because in the previous governor's period there were too many assignments. Building the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS), revitalizing Taman Ismail Marzuki (TIM) to implement Formula E. The company is no longer focused on where to go. There must be a massive evaluation, ” cecar Anggara. Furthermore, Anggara also asked the DKI Provincial Government to accelerate the waste reduction and management program from the household level. “ With waste production continuing to increase, we cannot rely on waste management at the final level alone. Household-level waste management and reduction programs such as waste banks and machinegot cultivation must also be taken seriously so that they can really contribute to waste management figures,” explained. Previously, the Head of the DKI Jakarta Environmental Agency, Asep Kuswanto, the DKI Provincial Government, had sent a letter to Jakpro a few weeks ago. In the letter, the provincial government asked Jakpro to accelerate the re-testing of prospective Sunter ITF investors. After the partners are selected, he continued, the process will continue with the establishment of a cooperation agreement (PKS). Previously, the DKI Provincial Government had compiled PKS together with former partners who had withdrawn from the ITF project. It is possible that the contents of the agreement in PKS were changed again according to a new agreement with partners. Asep still hopes that the Sunter ITF can begin its construction process in November 2023, as targeted by Jakpro a few months ago. "Therefore, the sooner Jakpro decides on his partner, we can start discussions for this PKS. Is it then that partner still agrees with the existing PKS. That is what will be possible later after the elected partner, later we will inevitably start to discuss the PKS issue again," he explained. In the DKI Regional Budget for the 2023 fiscal year, PT Jakpro received a capital injection of around half a trillion rupiah from the DKI Provincial Government to initiate the construction of the Sunter ITF which will be carried out by PT JSL as its subsidiary. The plan is that this year's regional capital participation (PMD) allocation will be used as a guarantee for project-based learning (PJBL) implementation of IDR 480 billion, land preparation work of IDR 16.5 billion, project supervision of IDR 5.5 billion, and operational IDR 15 billion. Meanwhile, the total investment value of Sunter's ITF development is IDR 5.2 trillion.
