Cipayung families want more for land<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): Families from the Cipayung district in East
\nJakarta sought Council help for the second time yesterday for
\ncompensation for a toll road project.<\/p>\n
Compensation for land taken for the eastern ring road project
\nwhich runs from the Beautiful Indonesia in Miniature Park to
\nCikunir is offered at Rp 302,500 (US$126.57) per square meter for
\npeople who can prove ownership and Rp 423,000 per square meter
\nfor buildings.<\/p>\n
Residents wanted Rp 500,000 and Rp 900,000 respectively
\ninstead of the offered amounts, due to the increase in land
\nprices in the area.<\/p>\n
The first amounts were set in a decree dated Oct. 14, 1996 by
\nEast Jakarta Mayor Soedarsono.<\/p>\n
A four-man delegation representing 204 families submitted a
\nletter signed by 142 residents to the Council, asking that
\nGovernor Surjadi Soedirdja review the decree.<\/p>\n
M. Banang, a member of Commission A for administrative
\naffairs, said the government should not impose the compensation
\namounts but should involve residents in the negotiations.<\/p>\n
The city's revenue office estimates land prices in the
\nCipayung district ranged from Rp 82,000 to Rp 614,000 per square
\nmeter.<\/p>\n
The list showed land prices in the Setu subdistrict range from
\nRp 82,000 to Rp 200,000 per square meter, while reports said land
\nprices there reached Rp 450,000.<\/p>\n
Mayor Soedarsono said the mayoralty would not increase the
\ncompensation because the people had already agreed to the amount
\nat a meeting in November. (11)<\/p>",
