JAKARTA - The East Jakarta City Government claims that it has provided mediation space to residents of RW 01 Tanah Mas, Kayu Putih Village, Pulogadung District, East Jakarta regarding the polemic of the Green Open Space (RTH) land which will be converted into a Puskesmas.

"Yesterday (residents) RW 01 we called to the office we mediated. We did what (they) wanted? We opened a discussion forum, it doesn't mean we are closed," said East Jakarta Mayor M. Anwar to reporters, Wednesday, November 29.

In addition, Anwar admitted that the other 16 RWs in Kayu Putih Village had agreed with the plan to build the Puskesmas.

"Don't force your will for other people, in the end you don't agree with everything. Yes, you can't do that. Now we just randomize, try we randomize, there are 17 RWs, 16 RWs agree and one (RW 01) doesn't (agree)," Anwar claimed.

Whereas previously, according to residents of RW 01, Kayu Putih Village, complaints about the rejection of the conversion of land for this park were also supported by 9 other RWs in Kayu Putih Village.

In addition, the East Jakarta City Government's claim regarding mediation between residents and his party has been denied by residents of RW 01 Tanah Mas, Kayu Putih Village. According to residents, the hearing was canceled.

Residents of RW 01 Tanah Mas, Kayu Putih Village, Pulogadung District, East Jakarta, failed to attend an audience with the Mayor of East Jakarta regarding the problem of land transfer of Green Open Space (RTH) which will be built by the Puskesmas building.

The failure of the hearing process was due to the absence of an agreement from both parties between residents and the Head of RW 01 and the Mayor of East Jakarta which is planned to attend the audience agenda at the East Jakarta City Government on Tuesday, November 28.

"(The audience was postponed) Because Mr. Imson (Chairman of RW 01 Kayu Putih) was not present, finally at the reschedule, was postponed," said Godham, a resident of RW 01 Kayu Putih when confirmed by VOI, Wednesday, November 29.
