JAKARTA - During the 3rd debate of the Jakarta Pilkada, the candidate pair for Governor of DKI Jakarta number 3 Pramono Anung and Rano Karno emphasized that they would not carry out evictions.

This commitment arose after candidate pair number 1 Ridwan Kamil and Suswono questioned how Pramono-Rano's attitude was related to the issue of brutal evictions on the Jakarta land carried out by Ahok, which is also the PDIP faction.

For this problem, Pramono refused to comment. However, he promised, if they were elected governor of Jakarta 2024-2029, then there would be no such thing as eviction.

"I don't want to answer that (Ahok's eviction), but take note of what I say, if I become governor, I don't do evictions, all I do is empowerment," he said.

Furthermore, to overcome the problem of population density in Jakarta, candidate pair number 3 emphasized the importance of utilizing government and BUMD land.

According to him, in this way, local governments, especially the Jakarta Regional Government, can organize spatial planning without having to carry out evictions.

"As a concrete example, in South Jakarta Block S there is a school with an area of 1.1 hectares, only 120 students, on average they have no activity at 3 hours 4. Now I will use something like that to make (other facilities)," said Pramono.

Later, Pramono will make the school building into a 5-story building or more. Where the five floors down will be used as parking lots, traffic 1, 2, 3 will be used as schools, and the 4.5th and upward floors will be used as housing for the upper middle class.
