“Yesterday we got a report on BPK (Supreme Audit Agency)’s examination result. That’s why we’re being really careful in matters related to row village program,” stated Head of South Jakarta Public Housing and Government’s Buildings Sub-Department, Chairul L, Friday (8/22).

According to the plan, row village construction in South Jakarta this year would consists of 13 slums and prone to flood RWs which resulted from the 2014 Development Planning Deliberation (Musrenbang). Those RWs are RW 08 Kramat Pela, RW 11 Bukit Duri, RW 06 Gandaria Utara, RW 13 Menteng Dalam, RW 09 Menteng Atas, RW 05 Duren Tiga, RW 05 Tegal Parang, RW 03 Pela Mampang, RW 10 Pasar Minggu, RW 03 Ulujami, RW 08 Manggarai, RW 06 Manggarai Selatan, and RW 14 Grogol Utara.

“Yes, those RWs are the results of Musrenbang. That’s why were’ now still in verification process and field surveys to know which RWs that are truly worth to be transformed into row villages. Like in Petogogan, the houses there are pulled back so the road becomes wider and houses getting sunlight. There are also arrangements on water channels, interactive park, dry hydrant facilities, and street lights (PJU),” explained Chairul.

For information, BPK’s audit result on row village program found negative things. The findings are 90 row village houses stood on land designated for road and water management drainage, six houses stood on watershed, and 1,152 houses are indicated stood on state’s land.
