Jakarta Governor, Basuki ‘Ahok’ T. Purnama targetted relocation in Kampung Pulo will finish within a week. The relocation of 518 households must be done gradually since many buildings must be torn down.
It cannot be done in a day, it takes a week
“It cannot be done in a day, it takes a week,” he said at City Hall, Thursday (8/20).
Ahok asserted that City Administration will not retreat and give any compensation to residents. They had built their houses illegally on state's land for ages.
