Kemayoran Corruption-Confiscated Asset to Become Fire Station

Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung said a confiscated asset from a corruption case, donated by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to the Jakarta provincial government, will be used as a fire station in Kemayoran, Central Jakarta. The land covers 234 square metres and is valued at around Rp5.36 billion.

The donation was formalised through the signing of a grant document and handover record at Jakarta City Hall on Tuesday (20 October 2026). The provincial government decided to use the land for a fire station because the area needs fire-service facilities.

“We have decided to use the Kemayoran site as a fire station. To reiterate, it has been designated for a fire station because that is what is needed there,” Pramono said at City Hall on Tuesday.

Pramono said he hoped the use of the confiscated asset would directly benefit the public, particularly by improving fire services.

“We will use the site in Kemayoran for a fire station. This will bring greater public benefit, as a fire station is needed there,” he said.

In addition to the Kemayoran property, the KPK donated land and a building in Menteng Dalam, Tebet, South Jakarta. The asset comprises 240 square metres of land and a 59.4-square-metre building, and is valued at around Rp4.3 billion.

Pramono said the intended use of the Tebet property had not yet been decided, but confirmed it would be used for the benefit of the Jakarta provincial government.

“The Tebet property has not yet been assigned a purpose, but it will certainly be used by the Jakarta provincial government,” he said.

Pramono thanked the KPK for the donation. He also said the provincial government could seek further asset donations provided they would benefit the regional administration and the public.

“As long as it benefits the Jakarta provincial government, we will apply to have the assets placed under its management. The regional secretary will write to the KPK about this,” he said.

Mungki Hadipratikno, director of the KPK’s Asset Management and Evidence Recovery Bureau (Labuksi), said the donation formed part of efforts to manage state assets confiscated in corruption and money-laundering cases.

Both assets came from cases involving convicted offender Muchtar Effendi: one related to former Constitutional Court chief justice Akil Mochtar, and the other to bribery at the Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas).

Mungki said confiscated state assets were generally disposed of through auctions, but could also be donated for government purposes in accordance with applicable regulations.

“We hope this donation serves one of the purposes of handling these cases: ensuring that the assets benefit the public through the Jakarta provincial government,” Mungki said.
