The Indonesian Ombudsman asks Jakarta Provincial Government to complete the construction of SMPN 164 Jakarta. The construction has been neglected for three years.

The construction has been started since 2013, but remains unfinished now

“The construction has been started since 2013, but remains unfinished now,” said Alamsyah Saragih, Ombudsman chief, Tuesday (7/26).

He added that his side got the report about this case in April 2016 ago. He hoped the construction can be continued. Students should not need to study in other school buildings.

Meanwhile, Jakarta Vice Dept. of Education, Bowo Irianto, explained the construction was already proposed in 2014. But his side lost time since ULP was newly formed. In 2015, the proposal can not be accepted because other projects have higher priority.

Bowo predicted the construction can be finished by the end of this year. His side has proposed the construction continuation to Jakarta Goods and Procurement Service Board.

“Auction process has been started,” he explained.
