"As the Jakarta Deputy Governor said, Jakarta flood control is not yet included in the 2025–2029 PSN list. Therefore, we will propose for it," Hanggodo informed at a press conference in Jakarta on Friday.
The 2025–2029 PSN list is outlined in the Presidential Regulation (Perpres) of the Republic of Indonesia Number 12 of 2025 concerning the National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) for 2025–2029.
"We are also still waiting for the presidential regulation on flood control for Greater Jakarta," the ministry's director general of water resources, Lilik Retno Cahyadiningsih, said.
Based on the attachment to Presidential Regulation 12/25 concerning the Narrative of the 2025–2029 National Medium-Term Development Plan, the 2025–2029 PSN list is adjustable.
It is based on an evaluation of previously established PSNs and an assessment of new projects that meet the criteria and applicable regulations.
National strategic projects, including new projects, are prepared and determined through the Government Work Plan Mechanism.
The projects, both new and carry-over, are determined annually, in keeping with the time frame for implementing development priorities and project readiness, including the availability of funding and based on the President's approval.
To anticipate flooding in the region, the DKI Jakarta provincial government has committed to focusing on the Ciliwung River's restoration.
Jakarta Deputy Governor Rano Karno said that through the flood control PSN, his party can focus more on fixing the Ciliwung.
He said that the dredging of reservoirs and rivers is included in his and Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung's 100-day work program.
Regarding the flood control PSN, he revealed that his party has received a fairly large budget from the central government. However, he did not specify the budget amount.
