Jakarta Governor, Basuki “Ahok” T. Purnama ensured there is no negotiation with PT Jakarta Monorail (JM). It means the monorail project is stopped. Dozens of monorail poles will be used by PT Adhi Karya for Light Rapid Transit (LRT) construction.

There’s no bargaining

Basuki admitted that he has sent the letter to PT JM related the policy. Several requirements can not be fulfilled by the company.

“No more negotiation, I’ve told them about it,” he said at City Hall, Thursday (9/10).

He added there are 15 requirements that the company cannot fulfill such as businesses plan, bank guarantee for five percent of the total monorail investment, displacement of depot construction from Setia Budi reservoir and Tanah Abang.

“There’s no bargaining,” he asserted.

As known, City Administration offers PT JM second chance to continue monorail project which been halted since 2007. The policy was taken in Joko “Jokowi” Widodo tenure. And they still cannot fulfil those requirements.
