JAKARTA - The Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) 'flicked' the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan who brought excavated soil to Kampung Akuarium, North Jakarta for the ritual procession of pouring jugs when 34 governors throughout Indonesia gathered at the National Capital (IKN) Nusantara, East Kalimantan.
PSI Spokesman Sigit Widodo said the land that Anies should bring to IKN came from the dredged Mampang River, South Jakarta. The area was the object of a dispute between Anies and residents of the Jakarta flood victims at trial.
"Why don't you bring soil from the dredged Mampang River, Mr. @aniesbaswedan," said Sigit through his Twitter account, @sigitwid, Monday, March 14.
It is known that 34 governors were asked to bring land and water from their respective provinces. The elements of the earth were put together in one place that was brought by President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) during the Kendi Nusantara ritual this morning.
Anies chose to bring the excavated soil from the Kampung Aquarium area before flying to IKN Nusantara. According to the former Minister of Education and Culture, the Kampung Aquarium land was brought in the hope that IKN as a new city as well as the replacement capital for Jakarta would not marginalize its citizens.
"The land from the Aquarium Village leaves hope that the construction of this new city which will become the capital city should not marginalize the small people and will instead provide progress and happiness for all, especially the common people," Anies said in his Facebook account recently.
Not only PSI, the PDI-P (PDIP) also voiced Anies' actions. The chairman of the PDIP faction of the DKI DPRD Gembong Warsono assessed that the basis for Anies' hopes of bringing the land from the Aquarium Village was far from being accurate.
Gembong explained that the program carried out by Anies in the Kampung Akuarium area after the eviction was said to be in favor of marginalized people. Because before the flats were built, the area was a government zone, a reforestation site, or a cultural heritage area.
The Aquarium Village was evicted when Basuki Tjahaja Purnama alias Ahok served as the Governor of DKI because the area wanted to become a cultural heritage area. Gembong emphasized that it is not allowed to build settlements in the area given the findings of historical buildings there.
This is stated in Regional Regulation Number 1 of 2014 concerning Detailed Spatial Planning (RDTR) and Zoning.
"In the past it was a residential area, evictions were carried out and returned to its original function, namely for heritage. Now, it has been transformed back into a dwelling in the hope that Anies will take sides with the people, as if he is taking sides, but violates the rules," said Gembong when contacted, Monday, March 14.
