JAKARTA - Member of the Indonesian House of Representatives from the Gerindra faction, Fadli Zon, said he was concerned about the fate of the residents of Kampung Bayam whose houses were evicted due to the construction of the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) in Papanggo, North Jakarta.

In his Twitter account, Fadli said that the residents of Kampung Bayam did not have the same fate as the residents of Kampung Akuarium who received flats from the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan.

"Bayam Village has no luck as good as Aquarium Village. They were both evicted. Now the location of the former Bayam Village has become part of the stands of the magnificent JIS stadium," Fadli said in the @fadlizon account, quoted on Saturday, August 21.

Bayam Village is not as good as the Aquarium Village. Both were evicted. Now the location of the former Kp Bayam has become part of the stands of the magnificent JIS stadium. 500 families were scattered, the remaining 50 families were still scattered near the stadium.

Fadli said, there were 500 families who were left stranded as a result of their houses being evicted for the construction of this magnificent international standard stadium.

Fadli asked the DKI Provincial Government to pay attention to the residents of Kampung Bayam such as the residents of Kampung Akuarium.

"500 families were scattered, only 50 families survived near the stadium. Please pay attention," said Fadli.

Responding to this, the Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta, Ahmad Riza Patria, admitted that his party is currently thinking about a solution for ensuring a place to live for the residents of Kampung Bayam.

Riza claimed that the DKI Provincial Government is also thinking about structuring the environment around the JIS Stadium, including settlements for residents in Kampung Bayam whose houses have been evicted.

"We will also think about solutions for Kampung Bayam. So, not only the stadium is sophisticated and international in scale, but we will also organize the surrounding environment. Everything is included in the structuring program, the area in JIS including Kampung Bayam," Riza told reporters.

Riza opened the possibility that the residents of Kampung Bayam would receive apartment housing facilities such as the residents of Kampung Akuarium. However, he did not explain further about the realization of the residence.

"Yes, like in Kampung Akuarium. Our job, the government, is to ensure that we take sides with those who are weak. Leaders must side with the weak, unlucky, not yet intelligent, yet to meet their needs, which are still difficult and poor. It's our job to find a solution," he concluded. .
