JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan ensured that Governor Regulation No. 207 of 2016 concerning Control of Land Use/Control without Entitled Permits would be revoked.
Gubernatorial Regulation 27/2016 was issued by Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok) while serving as Governor of DKI in 2016. Ahok often uses this governor's regulation to carry out evictions.
"(Pergub No. 27/2016) is in the process of being revoked. The revocation of the Pergub has been made, it's already in process," Anies said when met in the Cakung area, East Jakarta, Thursday, August 25.
However, Anies could not unilaterally issue the revocation of the governor's eviction regulation. This is because the DKI Provincial Government must seek approval from the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri).
"Now, to make a new governor regulation, there must be a harmonization agreement with the Ministry of Home Affairs," said Anies.
Thus, after the harmonization process of the draft regulation for the revocation of evictions by the Ministry of Home Affairs was agreed, Anies could only revoke the regulation that has been in effect since 2016.
"We are currently in the process of harmonization with the Ministry of Home Affairs. Later, once it is finished, the number (pergub) will be announced," he said.
As is known, previously, a group of people on behalf of the People's Coalition Against Eviction (KRMP) visited the DKI Jakarta City Hall to collect Anies' promise to revoke Pergub 207/2016.
Because, when Anies served as Governor of DKI in 2017 until now, the governor was still being used by him to carry out forced evictions. In fact, this is not in accordance with Anies' narrative during the 2017 Pilkada campaign, which did not want to evicte residents' settlements.
The evictions that used the governor's regulation during Anies' leadership of DKI took place at Pancoran Buntu II, South Jakarta; Vegetable Garden, Ciracas, East Jakarta; Bukit Duri, Tebet, South Jakarta; and Sunter Agung, Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta.
KRMP representative and LBH Jakarta public attorney, Jihan Fauziah Hamdo explained the reason his party demanded Anies revoke Pergub 207/2016. The evictions that used the governor's regulation during Anies' leadership of DKI took place at Pancoran Buntu II, South Jakarta; Vegetable Garden, Ciracas, East Jakarta; Bukit Duri, Tebet, South Jakarta; and Sunter Agung, Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta.
"There are seven reasons why the gubernatorial regulation should be revoked. The first is that this regulation is a form of vigilantism. The second is to bypass the legislature that has been mentioned earlier. ," explained Jihan, some time ago.
"Fourthly, this regulation violates AUPB. Fifth, it violates citizens' constitutional rights. Sixth, it violates human rights. Lastly, this use was conveyed because it was derived from Perppu 51 of 1960, which became the basis for the formation of a governor's regulation. It does not meet the needs of the people of DKI Jakarta. So, the revocation of this regulation must be carried out," he added.
