JAKARTA - Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency, Syafrin Liputo, responded to the suggestion of Commission C of the DKI Jakarta DPRD so that the Jakarta Transportation Service Parking Management Unit (Dishub) if it is not optimal in managing parking in Jakarta which has the potential to contribute quite a large income in the regional retribution sector.

Syafrin admitted that his party would review the proposal. This is in line with the process of revising the DKI Jakarta Regional Regulation (Perda) Number 5 of 2012 concerning Parking. In the preparation of the revision of the regional regulation, the DKI Jakarta DPRD also formed a special parking special committee (pansus) to explore changes in regulations.

"Of course we will review this and submit it to the special committee. Of course, we will fully open all the information we have, and of course we will expect accountability from the parking UP organizing side," Syafrin told reporters, Sunday, May 18.

Syafrin admitted that illegal parking in Jakarta could not be completely eradicated. The DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency, called Syafrin, also often controls a number of illegal parking points. However, the illegal parking attendant who fled when the control reappeared after the officers left the location.

"So the problem is that when we take action, when the vehicle is towed, as soon as the joint officers arrive, the perpetrator immediately disappears. The car is towed, we see it is orderly, of course left. We will go to another location. Once moving to another location, the person appears again. This is what then looks like a lock-up," explained Syafrin.

Therefore, in the near future, Syafrin revealed that his party will install surveillance cameras or CCTV in areas that are often used as illegal parking lots to facilitate control.

"We will increase the number of CCTV cameras. So that in the process of taking action, once someone starts to park, the team will go down to the location to prevent illegal parking in that place," he explained.

Previously, a member of the PDIP faction of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Hardiyanto Kenneth, highlighted the problem of illegal parking that is still mushrooming in Jakarta. Kenneth suggested that DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung dissolve the Parking UP if it was still incompetent to eradicate illegal parking.

"In the future, if we look at this Parking UPT, it's like this, maybe we will suggest to the Governor to just disband it. We'll just auction it to the private sector so that the private sector manages it," said Kenneth at the DKI Jakarta DPRD Building, Wednesday, May 14.

Chairman of Commission C of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Dimaz Raditya, suggested that the DKI Provincial Government hand over parking management in Jakarta to the private sector. This can be seen in the presence of illegal parking that is still mushrooming in Jakarta.

According to him, it could be that if the UP Parking is managed by the private sector, it can reduce the leakage of regional revenue in line with the eradication of illegal parking. Then, parking tax revenue is handed over to the Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda).

"If you don't perform and you don't have a breakthrough, Commission C recommends that the parking UPT be disbanded and auctioned off to the private sector because the regional revenue budget is leaked if we count up to trillions of rupiah, it's really bad," said Dimaz.
