PT MNC Land Lido stated that it had made efforts to overcome sedimentation in Lake Lido and emphasized that the Ministry of Environment (KLH) had not given a written warning before sealing it.
In an official statement delivered by the Director of Junita Sari Ujung and Deputy President Director Andrian Budi Utama quoted by ANTARA, the company confirmed that the warning board installed in two locations by KLH reads "this area is under surveillance" and not "this area is under sealing".
The company also provided an explanation of the sedimentation in Lake Lido, which KLH said was the result of development activities.
They stated that the sedimentation had occurred before PT MNC Land Lido took over the area in 2013. This, according to the company, can be proven by air photos from the same year.
Since starting construction in 2016, PT MNC Land Lido said that one of its main focuses is overcoming sedimentation in the lake. After the Lido SEZ was established in 2021, the company had provided mud retaining buildings as an effort to reduce sedimentation and build drainage channels to direct runoff water so as not to flow into Lido Lake.
In addition, the company also stated that they had never received a written notification or warning in any form before the sealing action was carried out. Therefore, they considered that the action was not in accordance with the general principles of good governance as regulated in Law Number 30 of 2014 concerning Government Administration.
