Basuki: Let OCA Know That We're Not Ready to Be Asian Games HostIf Kemayoran will still be commercial area, then Basuki will not assign PT Jakpro to construct it. As it is feared the company will suffer loss.
"As a commercial, I've told to Jakpro that we can't re-purchase. If they as a flat, they have President Decree, then City re-purchases as a flat. It's for Jakpro not to suffer a loss," he explained.
Basuki will hand over whole of it to Kemayoran Complex Management Center (PPK) if it will still be used as commercial area.
"If Kemayoran PPK is great, we give up. Just offer a company to construct it there. It has the same function anyway," he disclosed.
