The Government prepared addendum to amended Presidential Regulation no: 86/2011
yesterday in relation to the Sunda Straits bridge project which would connect
Sumatra and Java.
As planned, the Regulation would be released in the form
of Ministerial Regulation. The Ministry of Public Works Djoko Kirmato said that
the Regulation was meant to accommodate recommendations from the Ministry of
Finance who previously proposed revision of the Presidential Regulation.
Furthermore the Regulation also substances not written in
the Presidential Regulation signed by the President. “Most likely to be issued
by the Minister of Economy in the form of Permenko” Djoko stated in Jakarta on
Thursday (19/7).
Substance of the Regulation was to be discussed by the
Team of Seven formed as a result of JSS discussion last week, where the
Minister of Public Works themselves was one of the members of the team.
Basically there had been some points being agreed upon by
the Government in undertaking the project, but the final decision would only be
made after it had been submitted by the Team of Seven. Some of the rules which
would probably be part of the addendum was the recommendation that
implementation of the feasibility study of the bridge be financed by the
Government (burdened on the APBN state budget) including development plan for
the surrounding areas.
The rules for formation of the Ministerial Regulation including addendum was made possible by the Presidential Regulation no. 86 ear 2011 where one of the articles stated that further arrangement could be included in another regulation.
Meanwhile the Ministry of Finance Agus Martowardojo was
reluctant to explain the reason for his visiting the Ministry of Public Works
at the Office of the Ministry of Public Works of RI. As told, the Ministry of
Finance and the Ministry of Public Works had conducted a closed meeting for
about two hours at the Ministry of Public Work’s office.
Meanwhile separately the Director General of Space
Planning, Ministry of Public Works Imam s. Ernawi stated that delineation of
regions around the Sunda Straits Bridge means to develop eight regencies/cities
plus 109 districts in the Province of Lampung including among other Tanggamus,
South Lampung, East Lampung, Central Lampung, Peswaran, Pringsewu, Bandar
Lampung, and Metro. Meanwhile in the Province of Banten development would be in
59 districts among others Pandeglang, Lebak, and Serang.
In the JSS zone in the Province of Lampung, clusters
could be made such as agriculture, industry, and tourism, while in Banten the
clusters to be made were for tourism, and other potential economic zones.
