Sutiyoso doesn't
own Bantar Gebang

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.
