Businessmen Do Not Accept Warteg Being Prohibited in IKN because It Is Considered Slum

"Dream - Warteg (Tegal Food Stall) managers are protesting the government's decision that does not allow their businesses to operate around the Nusantara Capital City (IKN) project in East Kalimantan due to cleanliness reasons. Chairman of the Warteg Nusantara Cooperative (Kowantara), Mukroni, disagrees with Basuki's statement. According to him, Warteg entrepreneurs are now aware of the importance of cleanliness. The impression of dirty and squalid Warteg is considered outdated."

"The warteg entrepreneurs now prioritize cleanliness, hygienic dishes too, sir. So, no longer associate warteg with dirty or filthy impressions."

"Entrepreneur's Response"

Mukroni continued, warteg businesses also contribute significantly to the Indonesian economy. Wartegs create many job opportunities, support the local economy, and fulfill the daily food needs of workers at affordable prices.

"That warteg and small businesses have supported the empowerment of local economy by creating job opportunities for local residents, they often become a source of livelihood for business owners and local employees,""

tegas Mukroni.

"Mukroni hopes that the government will provide space for the growth of Warteg business in IKN. Warteg business actors, he added, are ready to collaborate with the government to provide clean and healthy meals for workers in various IKN projects."

"The government can also collaborate by providing training and support for warteg owners to develop their skills, improve the quality of food, and adapt to changes in market demand to enhance competitiveness and business resilience."

"ujar Mukroni." translates to "said Mukroni."

"Previously, Minister of PUPR Basuki Hadimuljono prohibited the presence of warteg (small food stalls) around the project area in IKN. He also did not allow the existence of bedeng buildings that are often used as shelters for project workers in IKN."

"All enter the low-cost apartments, workers' housing, so everything is in order. So later there will be no more makeshift shelters, hopefully there will no longer be unsanitary warungs. It's not that we're not allowed, it's not that we're prohibiting, not paying attention, but everything is for hygienic purposes to enter housing with better common kitchens," said Basuki quoted from Liputan6.com."

As a substitute for the absence of a warteg in IKN, food for the project workers will be cooked from a public kitchen. Meanwhile, housing for the workers will be provided in a vertical housing complex (rusun).
