JAKARTA - Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya together with President Director of PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) Bobby Rasyidin reviewed the development of housing for residents living on the edge of the railway in the Senen Market area, Central Jakarta, Saturday.
"This morning, Saturday, April 25, 2026, I together with the President Director of PT Kereta Api Indonesia, Mr. Bobby Rasyidin, checked the progress of the development of housing for residents on the outskirts of the railway around Pasar Senen Station," said Teddy as reported by ANTARA, Saturday, April 25.
Teddy said the review was carried out to ensure the progress of housing development for residents who have been living right on the railway line, about 2 kilometers from the center of the capital.
The new housing was built in accordance with President Prabowo Subianto's instructions to provide decent and comfortable housing for people who have lived for decades without a decent roof, and do not have adequate clean water and bathing, washing, kakus (MCK) facilities.
The new residential location is about 500 meters from the Senen Market train track and is equipped with residential facilities, toilets, clean water, places of worship, children's playgrounds, and other supporting facilities.
Teddy said that the housing development was carried out quickly through cooperation between the Ministry of Housing and Settlements with a number of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) concerned.
"Construction is also carried out quickly, thanks to close cooperation between the Ministry of Housing and several related SOEs," he said.
Previously, President Prabowo had directly reviewed the location of the residents' settlement on March 26, 2026 or about a month ago.
Teddy added that the arrangement of settlements would also be carried out elsewhere gradually and periodically.
"The arrangement of settlements will also be made more decent in other places gradually and periodically," he said.
