The Jakarta administration inaugurated on Friday a unit that will lead the effort to fight against illegal levies at a regional level.
Acting Jakarta governor Sumarsono said during the launch that the unit, called the Illegal Levies Eradication Unit, was formed in accordance with the mandate of President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo to eradicate rampant illegal levies throughout the public service.
"I hope the unit will be able to detect and come up with effective ways to scrap the levies," he said at City Hall.
The launch was attended by representatives of many government institutions, including the Jakarta Police, the Jakarta Military Command, the Ombudsman and the National Intelligence Agency (BIN).
Sumarsono said the unit would be manned by 287 personnel, comprising 43 officials from the Jakarta provincial administration and 244 from the province's five municipalities and one regency.
"The unit will follow up on complaints and reports from residents on illegal levies within the city administration," he said, the practice usually occurs during processes such as the issuing of business permits, certificates, ID cards or passports.
He added that residents could report any demands for illegal levies through the website inspektorat.jakarta.go.id/lapor-pungli.
