JAYAPURA - The Civil Service Police Unit (Satpol PP) Jayapura City, Papua, has brought order to Street Vendors (PKL) who are still selling on sidewalks and on protocol roads. Acting (Plt) Head of Jayapura City Satpol PP Sefnat Kambuaya said his party had brought control of street vendors on April 22-24, 2024 and in the future it would continue. "Because the existence of street vendors who sell is not in accordance with this rule, it actually really disturbs the comfort atmosphere of the residents of Jayapura City," he said in Jayapura, Antara, Thursday, April 25. According to Kambuaya, the Jayapura City Government (Pemkot) has prepared a market that can be used by street vendors who are still selling on protocol roads. "For this reason, we ask that street vendors who have been brought under control should carry out buying and selling activities in markets that have been prepared by the local government (Pemda)," he said. He explained that his party will continue to carry out control by carrying out routine patrols in a number of areas in the area to ensure that no more street vendors carry out activities on protocol roads. "This is in accordance with the instructions of regional heads related to controlling street vendors who are still trading in inappropriate places," said Kambuaya.

He added that his party had brought order to street vendors in the Entrop area, South Jayapura District, then next week they would carry out control in Abepura District to Heram District. "We hope that in the future there will be no more street vendors selling on protocol roads or empty locations in urban areas," he said.
