JAKARTA - The Regional Regulation Formation Agency (Bapemperda) of the DKI Jakarta DPRD has finished discussing and drafting a Draft Regional Regulation (Raperda) on Domestic Wastewater Management.

Chairman of the Bapemperda of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Pantas Nainggolan, said that the draft Raperda would be discussed in a joint leadership meeting to be approved, then consulted with the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri).

"We will convey it to the leadership of the DPRD through Rapimgab so that it can be followed up to the plenary session. Before that, it will be facilitated to the Ministry of Home Affairs first," Pantas told reporters, Thursday, July 4.

After being ratified in the future, Pantas hopes that the Regional Regulation on Domestic Waste Management can increase public awareness of protecting the environment.

This Raperda is also expected to form a strong legal basis in the provision of household and industrial waste facilities in a number of DKI Jakarta areas.

"The goal, I think is very good, especially to maintain a better quality of the environment," said Pantas.

Criminal articles

Dalam raperda tersebut, DPRD menyusun pasal pemberian sanksi pidana kurungan bagi orang yang terbukti membuang sampah sembarangan.

Deputy Chairman of the Bapemperda of the DKI Jakarta DPRD Abdurrahman Suhaimi said that currently there are still many perpetrators of dumping domestic waste into random waterways. Meanwhile, it is very difficult for the community.
