Central Jakarta District Court (Court) has recently rejected the lawsuit filed in 2012 by Agustinus Dawarja and Ngurah Anditya Ari Firnanda, two Jakarta citizens, against the President and the Jakarta Regional Government (Regional Government or Defendant) regarding the issue of traffic in Jakarta.
“The applicants’ claim cannot be proven and must be rejected entirely,” stated Kasianus Telaumbanua, Head of the Judges Assembly, reading the decision on Monday (8/4).
Kasianus explained that the Court decided to reject the lawsuit because the Defendant imposed several measures in order to overcome traffic issues, such as building an overpass that connects certain parts of Jakarta.
He added that the Regional Government also carried out its governmental obligations in accordance with the prevailing laws and regulations.
Yohanes Tangur, the applicants’ attorney, expressed his disappointment with the court. He argued that although the Regional Government has devised several measures to overcome traffic issues, the court failed to consider the Regional Government’s failure to implement those measures.
“It is not about whether the Regional Government has made several policies, it is about failing to implement those policies,” he concluded.
