Rates for Flats in Jakarta Naik, PDIP: Counterproductive Policy !

Jakarta- Governor Anies Baswedan issued a gubernatorial regulation related to the rise in flat rates. The PDIP faction of DKI considers the policy counterproductive.

"Raising the flat is a counterproductive policy with the DKI program. The program will provide DKI Jakarta with decent housing," Chairman of the PDIP DKI faction Gembong Warsono told reporters on Tuesday (08/14/2018).

Gembong asked Anies to run the Rumah DP USD 0 program before raising the flat rental rate. He regretted that Anies carried out a policy he considered hurried.

"It should be if you want to raise, the DP USD 0 home program goes first, there's no choice. Now there is no choice, instead it is increased," he said.

Gembong is worried that the policy will burden disadvantaged citizens. He considered the government should not raise flat rates by adding subsidies.

"If the ability is limited, the housing eradication program is hampered, that is not what it wants," he explained.

Rusunawa rental prices rose as of October 1, 2018. Rusunawa rental price increases, one of them, was related to maintenance costs.

"We see the cost of maintenance and so on, there is an increase," said Acting Head of the Public Housing and Settlement Area of Jakarta, Meli Budiastuti.
