Jakarta Governor, Basuki “Ahok” T. Purnama stated that until now PT Godang Tua Jaya (GTJ) has not been able to build a facility in Bantar Gebang landfill, Bekasi. As a matter of fact, Jakarta City Administration has invested Rp 700 billion at the beginning of cooperation carried out.
By the huge amount of tipping fee, how come you can’t manage it and 20 percent tipping fee can flow directly to Bekasi’s City Budget (APBD)
"Based on finding result of BPK (Supreme Audit Agency), they should have invested Rp 700 billion and he did not do it," he said Basuki at City Hall, Friday (10/30).

Furthermore, his party continues to pay a tipping fee at Rp 400 billion each year. Supposedly, PT GTJ could save 20 percent for treasury cash in Bekasi City.
"By the huge amount of tipping fee, how come you can’t manage it and 20 percent tipping fee can flow directly to Bekasi’s City Budget (APBD)," he explained.
On this basis, Ahok asked Head of Cleanliness Department to send a warning letter to PT GTJ. But in fact the previous officials did not dare to give. Hence, he forced to replace the headman. However the decision to grant the warning is also based on BPK’S findings.
“Since headman didn’t execute my instruction, I forced to replace it. What’s wrong? What’s the difficult to self-manage merely 6-7 heavy equipments,” he asserted.
