TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Jakarta Governor, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, seems reluctant to comment on the Jakarta Administrative Court’s ruling that favors Bidara Cina residents over flood mitigation appeal. Ahok responded and said that the project will, nevertheless, continue.
Bidara Cina residents have filed an appeal on the flood mitigation project, which involved relocation without prior notification.
Ahok said that the ruling will have only a little impact to Jakarta City Administration plan to mitigate Ciliwung River. He claims the government plans to file an appeal to the Supreme Court.
The Ciliwung flood mitigation project faces trouble in a form of land acquisition in Bidara Cina. Ahok has urged the city to settle the dispute, so that the project can carry on.
