JAKARTA - The Jakarta State Administrative Court (PTUN) ordered DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan to dredge up the Mampang River in its decision. This decision follows up on a lawsuit that was won by flood victims around Mampang River.
In response to this, the Head of Commission D for the Development of the DKI DPRD, Ida Mahcepat, asked the DKI Provincial Government, in this case the DKI Water Resources Service, as soon as possible to carry out the punishment in the PTUN decision.
"As soon as possible, the DKI Regional Government will realize the people's wishes. Because this flood is one of the things that must be our concern. I hope that SDA will immediately realize the people's wishes," Ida said when contacted, Thursday, February 17.
Moreover, according to Ida, the residents' lawsuits which were granted by the PTUN should have been carried out by the DKI Provincial Government. Considering that every year DKI has a budget to dredge rivers, rivers and reservoirs.
"It is mandatory for the DKI Regional Government to fulfill the wishes of the residents, especially from the PTUN decision, they won. I think this is a request that is not difficult in my opinion. The budget is there anyway," he said.
For information, this lawsuit was filed by seven residents of the Mampang River flood victims since last August 2021. The residents included Tri Andarsanti Pursita, Jeanny Lamtiur Simanjuntak, Gunawan Wibisono, Yusnelly Suryadi D, Shanty Widhiyanti, Virza Syafaat Sasmitawidjaja, and Indra. They are residents of Jakarta who became victims of floods in early 2021.
The plaintiffs had previously sent an objection letter to Anies regarding the handling of the Jakarta floods in March 2021. Anies has also replied to the letter of response to the residents' objections. However, it turned out that the residents were not satisfied with Anies' answer letter.
Finally, they sued Anies to the Administrative Court. The legal process is running, the Administrative Court issued a decision on February 15, 2022. The Administrative Court granted some of the residents' claims. Anies was sentenced by the panel of judges to carry out dredging of the Mampang River completely to the Pondok Jaya area and to process the construction of river sheet piles in Pela Mampang Village.
