Sutiyoso and Bantargebang

Sutiyoso and Bantargebang

From Koran Tempo

Jakarta Governor Sutiyoso has threatened to close the garbage dump site in Bantar Gebang, Bekasi if in the next four months the Bekasi municipality administration does not make a decision about this dump site. It is strange that Sutiyoso has made such a threat. In fact, the lease agreement on the use of this dump site between the Jakarta administration and Bekasi municipality administration has already expired.

Perhaps Sutiyoso must listen to the complaints of the residents living around the massive garbage dump. They have suffered a lot from the piles of garbage produced by Jakarta. It is obvious that the garbage from Jakarta has been increasing in quantity and has also polluted the environment of the area surrounding the dump.

Sutiyoso only has the right to move the dump site to, for example, Jonggol and Cilincing -- both within the territory of Jakarta.
