The Official Houses Of The Lurah And Camat In Central Jakarta Are Only Used As Warehouses For Used Goods

JAKARTA - A number of official houses (Rudin) from urban to sub-districts in Central Jakarta have been turned into warehouses for used goods and bird cages. From observations at the location, one of the special official houses of the sub-district head in the Cempaka Putih area looks unkempt and has become a warehouse.

According to a source who declined to give his name, the official houses of the Kelurahan Cempaka Putih Barat, Johar Baru and Tanah Tinggi were never occupied by the lurah.

"It's not the lurah who occupies the rudin, I know why the difference between a lurah or not can be seen from the uniform. We don't know who occupies the rudin because we never greet the residents," he told reporters, Friday, August 12.

Based on information, the official houses that are not functioning are located in Kramat Village, West Cempaka Putih, Tanah Tinggi, Johar Baru and Kebon Melati.

Separately, Roisah (45), one of the rudin residents of Kramat Village, admitted that she had lived in the official residence for 5 years. She and her husband occupied the house to look after the items in the rudin.

"There are a lot of used items, such as air conditioners and safes. In addition to that, Rudin's house also has a motorbike wreckage here. My husband and I were ordered to guard this house," said Roisah.

Meanwhile, it was said that one of the residents had the initials RW, the official residence of the Kebon Melati Village and others had never been occupied by a village head.

According to him, the Rudin has become a warehouse both in the yard and in the house.

"It can be seen in the yard that it is a parking lot for a pimp vehicle (motorcycle cart) that has been damaged, not to mention that it is in a warehouse," he said.
