JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) and the DKI Provincial Government (Pemprov) will immediately review the location of residents' houses on piles of garbage, Kapuk Muara, North Jakarta.

"I will also go to the Housing Agency later," said Head of Commission D of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Ida Maheasy, quoted by ANTARA, Monday, July 3.

The visit must be carried out so that the Housing Service will see firsthand the condition of the residents living in these inappropriate locations.

According to Ida, many residents in DKI Jakarta do not get the opportunity to have decent housing.

They are scattered in dense and slum locations, including in the Muara Kapuk area, North Jakarta.

Therefore, he asked the provincial government to echo the Simple Rental Flats (Russia) program again in order to facilitate residents to get decent housing.

He also gave an example of Rusunawa Nagrak in the North Jakarta area which is currently still managed by the government.

According to Ida, residents have the right to have the opportunity to stay in the Nagrak Rusunawa.

However, he asked the DKI Provincial Government to record the residents of the coral estuary first. If it has been recorded between residents with DKI and non-DKI ID cards, the new Provincial Government can move them to Rusunawa.

However, Ida asked the Housing Service to also complete Rusunawa facilities in order to facilitate people's lives.

"However, the records of facilities in the Rusunawa must be complete," said Ida.

Previously, residents of Kapuk Muara had to live on piles of garbage in the North Jakarta area for years.

Piles of garbage appeared because local residents often littered with household waste.

The West Jakarta City Government has also made several efforts to reduce the amount of waste in that location.

One of them is by developing integrated waste processing in the neighborhood of RT017/RW04 Kapuk Muara, Penjaringan.

"I ask residents to play a role in processing waste," said Head of the North Jakarta City Environment Agency Edy Mulyanto in Jakarta, Tuesday (27/6).

According to Edy, the role of residents in processing waste has been regulated in DKI Jakarta Governor Regulation Number 77 of 2020 concerning the Waste Processing Sector (BPS) of RW.

As an initial stage, explained Edy, his party will conduct a waste raid in the RT017/RW04 Kapuk Muara neighborhood, Penjaringan, North Jakarta, considering that the garbage in the environment is very wide.

Edy said this activity involved the kelurahan through Public Infrastructure and Facilities Handling (PPSU) officers, the Water Agency Cleaning Management Unit (UPK) or the Water Agency's Waste Management Unit (UPS).

Edy explained that processing waste is a responsibility between those who have a source of waste, for example households, schools, there are also offices, markets, and others that are tasked with sorting and choosing waste by type.

Next, handling through the role of local government officials after efforts to sort and choose garbage have been carried out by residents.

Sampah itu, kalau kita dilakukan dengan baik, akan berguna. Bisa jadi ke bank sampah, ada nilai ekonomisnya. Bisa maggot, jadi compost atau biogas dan itu ada nilai ekonomisnya yang bermanfaat langsung untuk masyarakat, kata dia.

Edy hopes that the residents of Kapuk Muara can sort out the garbage and get integrated socialization.

"My advice is that the RW management synergizes with the Head of the Lurah (Kapuk Muara) so that they can use the kelurahan motorbike to transport the garbage," said Edy.
