Volume sampah di DKI menggila, Ahok minta swasta ikut kelola

Wakil Gubernur DKI Jakarta Basuki T Purnama (Ahok) hari ini menjadi pembicara Sosialisasi Perda No. 3 Tahun 2013 tentang Pengelolaan Sampah di Plaza Bapindo, Jakarta. Ahok menegaskan pihaknya menyatakan perang terhadap sampah.

"Kita nyatakan perang terhadap sampah. Kalau bisa kami subsidi," ujar Ahok, Jakarta, Rabu (4/9).

Adapun konsep yang bakal dirancang oleh Ahok adalah kawasan-kawasan elit dan perkantoran lainnya diharuskan untuk mengelola sampah secara mandiri.

"Kami ke depan mau nol APBD keluar untuk sampah, syukur-syukur dapat duit," kata Ahok sambil tertawa.

Sampah-sampah yang ada di Jakarta rencananya bakal diolah dan dikomersilkan. "Kita butuh bangun banyak sekali rusun," tandasnya.

Dalam kesempatan yang sama, Kepala Dinas Kebersihan DKI Jakarta, Unu Nurdin, meminta pihak swasta ikut terlibat pengelolaan sampah di ibu kota. Mengingat volume sampah di Jakarta terus bertambah.

"Pelibatan pihak swasta telah diatur dalam Perda Pengelolaan Sampah, khususnya pada Pasal 30 ayat 1. Begitu juga soal pengangkutan sampah kawasan dalam Pasal 36 ayat 1," kata Unu.

Dalam acara tersebut, hadir Wakil Gubernur DKI Jakarta Basuki T Purnama (Ahok) sebagai pembicara, sosialisasi perda ini. Menurut Unu, pengelolaan sampah tidak efisien jika hanya dikelola Pemprov DKI. Sebab kini, sampah ditempatkan sebagai sumber daya bernilai ekonomi dan dimanfaatkan.

Sosialisasi pengelolaan sampah ini bekerja sama dengan Asosiasi Jakarta Bersih (AJB) sebagai kelompok pelaku usaha dalam pengelolaan sampah. Pengelolaan sampah di Jakarta diharapkan memiliki konsep business to business (B to B).

"Sedangkan B to B, para penanggung jawab kawasan komersial akan menjalin kerja sama dengan mitra kerja swasta yang resmi terdaftar di Dinas Kebersihan. Untuk mengelola dan membuang sampah langsung ke TPST Bantargebang tanpa subsidi Pemprov DKI," jelas Unu.

Perlu diketahui, sampah di DKI Jakarta rata-rata mencapai 6.500 ton per hari. Dari jumlah tersebut hanya 88 persen saja yang bisa ditangani Pemprov DKI Jakarta.

No sweat in Jakarta's 'macet'

ENDLESS TRAFFIC: Despite the gridlock, life goes on in this ever busy city

TRAFFIC jams are synonymous with Jakarta, Indonesia's capital. Locally termed macet, it is among the first encounters that leave a lasting impression on visitors as they move around the metropolitan city of more than 10 million people.

The number of vehicles on the highways, streets and even back alleys would leave many shaking their heads in wonder, but what is even more fascinating is how the people go about their daily affairs without batting an eyelid, despite the gridlock.

Unlike other metropolitan cities, which see a gridlock only during the morning and evening peak hours, Jakarta's macet lasts a whole day. It starts as early as 6am and continues until 11pm daily. The situation eases somewhat during the weekends.

About the only time the city is devoid of cars is during the annual Hari Raya Aidilfitri exodus, when most make their way home to the provinces.

Despite the presence of the Jakarta Inner Ring Road Expressway to ease commuters entering the city centre, the macet remains a part and parcel of daily travel. Buses, private vehicles and taxis add to the endless sea of vehicles clogging the streets of Jakarta.

The infamous macet, has, however, seen the authorities and individuals coming up with innovative ways of daily travel.

In 2011, the Transjakarta Busway was introduced to speed up public transportation and enable commuters to get to their destination fast via dedicated bus lanes, which connect the city centre to the outer regions such as Tangerang, Bekasi, Depok, Bojonggede, Bogor and Serpong.

Bajaj, or the three-wheeled Indonesian version of Thailand's tuk-tuk, is another way of getting around in Jakarta.

But one of the fastest ways to move around Jakarta is via the ojek, or motorcycle-taxi. Travelling in a four- or three-wheeled vehicle from Jakarta to the east, west, south, north and central would take between two and three hours, but with the ojek, which speedily weaves in and around the vehicles and gets one to his destination in almost half the time.

The gridlock has also seen numerous entrepreneurs taking to the street selling their wares at strategic junctions of the city. One does not have to leave the comfort of one's vehicle as the traders manoeuvre Jakarta's maze of streets.

Out of the blue, a trader will weave in an out of the stagnant traffic selling bottles of mineral water, toys, magazines, books, snacks and even inflatable beds -- meaning you can get everything while being stranded in Jakarta's macet.

Besides the traders, you also see get to see the handicapped literally using their "arms and limbs", or lack of them, to earn a living on the busy streets.

Then, there are the "traffic coordinators", who suddenly turn up at crucial junctions to "direct" the traffic flow. As soon as they are done, they approach a motorist, with their palms up, for a token.

For Jakarta and its citizens, necessity is the mother of invention, for they have managed to create a life despite the complexities of modern life.
