The DPRD Protests Bogor City Park Will Pay On The Grounds That The Costs Of High Care

BOGOR - Bogor City Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) proposed that people access the Taman Kota public facility for free. This is in response to the Bogor City Government (Pemkot) plan to impose costs on people who use park facilities. Commission II of the Bogor City DPRD, held a working meeting (Raker) with the Housing and Settlement Office (Disperumkim) and the Bogor City Youth and Sports Office (Dispora), Wednesday February. In the meeting, the Bogor City Government through Disperumkim and Dispora said it would set tariffs for residents who wanted to use soccer facilities in Taman Manunggal as well as North and South Bogor GOMs. This is due to the high cost of maintenance and income potential from the three assets that had just been completed at the end of December last year. Responding to the plan, the Chairman of Commission II of the Bogor City DPRD, Anita Primasari Mungan, assessed that there was a special study of this tariff determination. However, specifically Taman Manunggal, the Bogor City Government should not charge residents who want to use the facility. "So if Manunggal it is a park, just like other parks. Heulang, Sempur, Kencana, and other parks that have been completed. So far, it has been managed by the government, and it is quite good until now there is no problem. Even the public can enjoy it freely and safely," said Anita. Until the plan to provide management to third parties to get income, according to Anita, it should be done in other assets. It's just that Anita gave input to the Bogor City Disperumkim to organize PKLs that began to emerge around the field. This aims to avoid illegal levies (extortion) from irresponsible individuals, as well as maintaining order and security around Manunggal Park. But if in Manunggal there is a sale like Taman Heulang, PKL. Earlier there was also suggestions from friends that such PKLs be given space, given one location around there to be able to empower the community in an MSME manner, "explained Anita. With this discourse, Anita also gave criticism to the Bogor City Government. Where, he should have assessed the development carried out

So, after the construction is complete, the Bogor City Government can take what steps will be taken for these assets. "What kind of plan, how can we manage it, who, how, the institution, it must be planned before it is finished. So when it is implemented, it is finished, we just have to monitor it. That's the truth, that's our criticism from the council so that in the future it won't continue to be complicated like this," he concluded.
