Trader Retribution Fees at Kramat Jati Fish Market Relocation Site Officially Waived

The Jakarta Provincial Government has granted a six-month waiver on retribution fees for traders who have been relocated to the Kramat Jati Fish Market development site (Lokbin) in East Jakarta.

“We have decided that, in addition to providing space for traders to earn a living while simultaneously restoring the function of roads and public spaces, we will waive the retribution or membership fees for this Lokbin in Kramat Jati for six months,” stated Jakarta Governor Pramono Anting Wibowo after inspecting the site on Tuesday night.

Following the conclusion of the fee waiver period, traders will be charged a monthly fee of Rp180,000, which equates to approximately Rp6,000 per day. Furthermore, Pramono has requested the Jakarta Provincial Department of Communication, Informatics, and Statistics (Kominfotik) to assist in socialising the new location to the public.

“Since many people may not yet be aware of this relocation, I have asked the Kominfotik Department to help inform the public that they are welcome to shop here, as the site is open to everyone,” Pramono said.

Additionally, Pramono mentioned that his administration will improve several facilities at the Kramat Jati site, including drainage systems and air circulation. He also requested the installation of fans to ensure a more comfortable environment for trading.

Pramono expressed his hope that the area will become better and more organised in the future, allowing both traders and customers to conduct transactions comfortably without disrupting traffic.

Previously, he had instructed the restructuring of the Jalan Raya Bogor, Kramat Jati area, which included relocating street vendors who had been causing congestion and urban blight in the vicinity.
