Prumpung TPU Becomes Livestock Cage Until Jemuran, DPRD: Provincial Government Doesn't Care About Managing Its Own Assets

JAKARTA - Recently, residents protested about the Prumpung Public Cemetery (TPU), East Jakarta, which is a livestock cage to a place to dry clothes by local residents.

In response to this, Member of Commission D of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Justrin Adrian Untayana, said that this condition proves that the DKI Provincial Government, in this case the DKI City Parks and Forest Service (Distamhut), is not working to optimally monitor assets.

"The impact of the inequality of the service in managing its own assets. Many assets are neglected, not managed properly and the Department is actually busy shopping for new land with a large amount of budget," Justin told reporters, Wednesday, June 14.

In fact, Distamhut routinely proposes a budget allocation for the purchase of new land to increase the quantity of open space. However, unfortunately, his land assets are not maintained. He hopes that the agency should be able to prevent them early so that these things do not happen.

"If the professional service is in asset management, then cases like this should not happen again," said Justin.

Justin also strongly suspects that there are people who play in terms of controlling regional assets by other parties.

"I'm sure the agency knew from the start. There are TPU officers, there are also management units, of course this occupation doesn't happen suddenly without their knowledge, maybe even if it's rented out by an individual," said Justin.

The portrait of TPU Prumpung which was once abused into a livestock cage and dried viral on social media some time ago. One of them was uploaded by the Instagram account lens_berita_jakarta.

In the video, a number of tombs were overwritten by the bamju fence to put the livestock on. There were several clothes hanging on the fences adjacent to residential areas.

After the crowd, the East Jakarta City Parks and Forests Sub-department followed up with cleaning and controlling activities at the location on Monday, June 12.
