JAKARTA - Some residents of the former Kampung Bayam have signed a residential rental contract for Kampung Susun Bayam (KSB) located in the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) area with the BUMD PT Jakarta Propertindo (Jakpro) on Tuesday, July 29.

Meanwhile, some of them, namely the Kampung Bayam Madani Farmers Group, are not willing to sign the contract.

The head of the Kampung Bayam Madani Farmers Group, Furqon, admitted that his party had just received an invitation from the Mayor of North Jakarta on Monday night. They still need time to look into the contents of the contract.

"We have not finished studying the contents of the draft, we do not dare to sign it. I did not attend the meeting and only sent representatives to submit our objection letters," Furqon told reporters, Wednesday, July 30.

There is one point in the contract that objected to Furqon and his group. In the new contract, North Jakarta Mayor Hendra Hidayat determined the number of families accommodated to inhabit KSB from the Tani Group of Kampung Bayam Madani as many as 23 families. Meanwhile, Furqon felt that his group had 35 families.

"One of the important points we convey is about Mas Pram's political promise. In the past, he promised to accommodate 35 families from the Kampung Bayam Madani farmer group. But only 23 families were included in the Mayor's Decree. This is what makes us confused," explained Furqon.

Therefore, Furqon demanded that the DKI Provincial Government and the BUMD PT Jakarta Propertindo (Jakpro) as KSB managers comply with their wishes before the contract is agreed upon.

Because, Furqon is worried that their fate will become unclear again, as has been experienced after former DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan stepped down from his position.

"We will collect Pak Pramono's promise and refer to the MoU that we have made. The goal is that whoever is the governor in the future still respects this promise. We do not want Anies' experience to be betrayed again," he explained.

Previously, the Special Staff of the Governor of DKI Jakarta for Social Communication, Chico Hakim said, as many as 67 of the 126 families of Bayam Village residents had approved the KSB residential contract.

"The majority of the residents of Kampung Bayam have signed a contract to be able to inhabit the HPPO at JIS," Chico told reporters.

In the contract of the agreement, KSB occupancy is charged a rental fee of Rp. 1.7 million per month. However, Jakpro waived rental payments for the first 6 months. In addition, Bayam Village residents are also facilitated to work as JIS operational support with Jakarta's UMR salary, as long as they meet the applicable requirements.

There are still some groups of residents of Kampung Bayam who have not signed a contract to occupy KSB as offered by Jakpro as the manager. They are the Kampung Bayam Madani Farmers Group, which in March participated in the KSB key handover ceremony from the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Pramono Anung.

Chico claimed that some of the residents would follow up to sign a residential placement contract.

"If there are still some residents of the former Kampung Bayam who have not signed the contract, they are still in the stage of studying, which I will inform in the next few days they will immediately sign," he explained.
