Jakarta Council (DPRD) Commission A Chairman Inggard Joshua attended the signing of the handover minutes for the fulfillment of obligations to transfer public and social facilities for the second semester of 2025 from developers to the Jakarta Provincial Government at Balai Agung, Jakarta City Hall, on Wednesday (2/4).

Inggard emphasized that the handover of public and social facilities is an absolute obligation that must be fulfilled by developers. Once transferred, he added, the facilities must be used for public purposes accordance with their designated functions.

"Public and social facilities are the responsibility of developers. After being handed over to the government, they must be used for residents according to their functions. Parks for parks, places of worship for worship, and sport facilities for sports," he stated.

He acknowledged that some developers have yet to fully meet these obligations. However, he noted that the handover process has shown significant improvement over the past three years following the involvement of the Inspectorate, the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK), and the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

"Non-compliant developers can be referred to the KPK, especially if public facilities are misused, such as being rented out with the proceeds going into personal accounts. That is clearly a violation, as it involves using state or public assets for personal gain," he asserted.

Inggard also praised Governor Pramono's commitment for reaffirming the importance of registering public and social facilities as regional assets.

Once recorded as assets, he said, the facilities must be immediately handed over to the relevant agencies so they can be utilized optimally.

He added that delays in the handover of public and social facilities have a direct impact on residents. As long as the assets have not been officially transferred, the regional budget (APBD) cannot be allocated for their management or development.

He further noted that some public and social facilities have yet to be handed over by developers for more than 10 years. This condition not only violates regulations but also disadvantages residents.

"Many residents are not fully aware of this issue. That is why the DPRD continues to provide explanations and emphasize that developers must immediately hand over public and social facilities. If these obligations are not met, developers should not be granted permits to develop other land," he explained.
