JAKARTA - Viral on social media video showing a group of youths become Pak Ogah by asking for payment from motorbikes near the DPR RI building towards Palmerah.

Responding to this, the Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono emphasized that the practice was not true, both young people who became Mr. Ogah and motorcycle users who climbed onto the sidewalk.

"If I find out later, I will ask the Transportation Agency and the Sub-District Service (Satpol PP) to catch them. That's not true, is it!" Heru said when met in North Jakarta, Thursday, March 28.

Separately, the Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency, Syafrin Liputo, explained that the design of sidewalks with low access was made to facilitate pedestrians.

However, Syafrin emphasized that his party would look for a group of youths to carry out control.

"For controlling Pak ogah who violates the use of the sidewalk, I have coordinated with Kasatpol PP to control it," said Syafrin.

In the video uploaded to the fact Instagram account. Jakarta, pedestrian access to the sidewalk is closed by the barriers or barriers by the youths.

When there is a motorbike that wants to get on the sidewalk, the barrier is opened. The young man who was on the edge of the sidewalk then held a place for motorcycle users to put the money "services".

Unfortunately, pedestrians who want to use the sidewalk must give in and walk on the edge because they are blocked by passing motorbikes.
