Developer Obligation must Be Set in Bylaw

Jakarta Governor, Basuki T Purnama disclosed, the developer obligation who does the island reclamation by 15 percent is impossible set in the gubernatorial regulation. Because, it will backfire for them.

I say, if you (the developer) give the reclamation to us, the governor will set 15 percent. This is called a blank check. If it is done, 15 percent for regulation drafting will backfire for them

"I say, if you (the developer) give the reclamation to us, the governor will set 15 percent. This is called a blank check. If it is done, 15 percent for regulation drafting will backfire for them," he stated. 

Additionally, to determine retribution cannot be set in regulation, but through bylaw. In the revised draft, the Bylaw No. 8/1995 about organizing reclamation and spatial planning in area north coast of Jakarta, it is clearly stated what will be filed.

Reclamation Permit can Be Revoked

"Tell me, why do you want to give it to us. To determine retribution, it cannot use gubernatorial regulation, I am not stupid. This is a trap. Check our draft, it cannot be made like that," he stressed.

Basuki asserted he was not concerned about Jakarta DPRD refused to continue discussion on second draft bylaw related with reclamation. He prefers to wait until the period DPRD ends in 2019. Moreover for reclamation, takes up to three years.

"It has an impact on businessman has no building permit, so they cannot develop their business. Moreover, we need three years to dredge an island. That's why they will hunt them (DPRD). I don't care," he closed.
