Jakarta Governor, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, refused to form island reclamation authority board. Coordination between central government and Jakarta Provincial Government is enough to run National Capital Integrated Coastal Development (NCICD) project.
The coordination with Public Works Ministry is enough, no need forming authority board
"The coordination with Public Works Ministry is enough, no need forming authority board," Basuki said, Wednesday (9/9).
The private party that will work on the project will be auctioned. The most reasonable proposal will be accepted.
Basuki & Rotterdam Mayor Discussed Island Reclamation"No problem with the license in PTSP. Just like in Rotterdam, private gets 30 percent but government owns the certificate," he added.
Inspection road will be built in A embankment with 4-5 meters of height, while B and C embankment are being studied by South Korea and Netherlands.
"We must discuss this together in central government that the certificate will be owned by related province government. Later, Banten and West Java have the same with this," he continued.
According to him, developing embankment could improve the sea water quality and its ecosystem.
