JAKARTA - Member of Commission IV of the House of Representatives Daniel Johan urged the government to uncover the mystery behind the construction of the Tangerang sea fence. According to him, the sea fence was not enough to be sealed, but the perpetrators and defenders must also be arrested.
"It must be investigated thoroughly until we find out who ordered the installation of the fence up to 30.16 km," said Daniel Johan, Tuesday, January 14.
Previously, the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) had sealed the sea fence in the Tangerang Regency, Banten. This is because the construction of the fence does not have an approval permit for the Compliance of Marine Spatial Utilization Activities (PKKPRL).
The PKB legislator for the West Kalimantan (West Kalimantan) electoral district (Kalbar) I emphasized that the handling of the marine fence problem was not enough just by sealing it. The government and the authorities, said Daniel, must continue to thoroughly investigate the issue.
"This issue must be a concern of the KKP in ensuring the use of marine space in accordance with applicable regulations," he said.
Moreover, Daniel continued, the Directorate General of Marine and Space Management Luat (PKRL) has stated that the construction of the sea fence violates the rules. Therefore, he considered, the problem of the sea fence must be resolved immediately so as not to interfere with fishermen's activities.
"Don't let any parties try to control the sea space without clear permission," said Daniel.
The chairman of the PKB DPP assessed that it was impossible for the construction of a very long sea fence to be financed by the community. So it is not true if there are community organizations that claim to build and finance the construction of fences.
It doesn't make sense. Where did they have such a big amount of money. There must be someone to fund. That's what must be investigated," said Daniel.
Therefore, Daniel asked the authorities to investigate and arrest the mastermind behind the construction of the sea fence that damaged the marine ecosystem. The authorities, he said, should not be afraid of the parties who are backing up the project.
"If there are defenders, certain individuals must be dealt with firmly as well," said Daniel Johan.
Daniel said, after the opening of the trial period on January 20, Commission IV will summon KKP to discuss the issue of the sea fence which has received widespread attention from the public.
"Commission IV encourages the government to strictly regulate these kinds of things, so that no parties feel they are in power over the applicable law," he concluded.
