Seputarkarawang.com - Karawang, The silence of seven agencies within the Karawang Regency Government regarding a series of mass summonses regarding the operational polemic of the Theater Night Mart (TNM) officially triggered an escalation to the provincial level. Under the command of Presidium Chairman Gus Iman, the advocacy team carried out integrated legal maneuvers in West Java to ensure that each stage of regulation runs according to the applicable legal corridors, Tuesday (7/4/2026). This step was taken as a firm response to the lack of good faith from the regional bureaucracy in responding to community objections.The team consisting of Febry Ramadhan representing the Islamic Student Federation (FMI) Karawang and Wira Andhika, S.H. from the Karawang Islamic Brotherhood Advocates (API) together visited three authority institutions at once in Bandung. The collective presence of the West Java Representative of the Indonesian Ombudsman, West Java Information Commission (KI), and West Java Province DPMPTSP is a serious step in guarding the transparency of public policy in the region. This confirms that the TNM issue has now shifted to a regional level administrative dispute.The steps at the West Java Information Commission were taken specifically to test accountability for access to public documents which had previously experienced obstacles, especially at the Karawang PUPR Service. The Alliance officially registered an information dispute related to the Expose 3 Minutes (BA) document dated February 12 2026 which contained substantive facts regarding the objections of religious figures. Until now, this crucial document has not been published in its entirety to information requesters, thus raising a big question mark regarding transparency at the technical level.
Meanwhile, the legal maneuver to the Indonesian West Java Ombudsman was a serious blow to the regional bureaucracy, where seven related agencies were officially reported on suspicion of maladministration in the form of omissions. This report covers administrative completeness disputes ranging from the Functional Eligibility Certificate (SLF) at the PUPR Service, Andalalin technical permits at the Transportation Agency, to verification of business standards at the Karawang Disparbud and Industry and Trade Department. The advocacy team assessed that the seven agencies collectively allowed operations to continue without fulfilling all formal requirements."We are no longer in a waiting position, but are taking the constitutional route to ensure that the right to public information is fulfilled. If at the regional level there are access problems and our subpoenas are ignored, then let the authorities at the provincial level review the urgency of disclosing these documents in accordance with the mandate of the law," stressed Febry Ramadhan. For him, the lack of openness and silence of these seven agencies is a bad signal for governance in Karawang Regency.This movement was further strengthened by the reporting of alleged maladministration and neglect of operations by the Karawang Satpol PP at the Grand Opening on March 28 to the Ombudsman, even though a summons had been sent previously.The report also targeted the supervisory function of the DPMPTSP regarding the KBLI code and urged the Environmental Service (DLH) to carry out an audit. investigative regarding the validity of environmental documents on the AMDALnet system. The seven agencies were jointly assessed as having neglected commercial activities for which technical permits had not been completed.Wira Andhika, S.H. emphasized that this collective step was designed so that no public policy in Karawang would proceed without clear legal accountability. With the report registered at three high provincial institutions, the Heads of Service from the seven related agencies must now prepare to face official summons and a comprehensive audit. This process will dissect the performance of their public services transparently before the state supervisory agency to ensure that there is no practice of abuse of authority in TNM licensing.Until this news was published, seven related agencies within the Karawang Regency Government had not provided an official response, the Editorial Team continues to allocate space for the Heads of these Services to provide the right to reply or provide technical explanations to ensure the balance of information. This legal effort is predicted to be a tough test for the integrity of Karawang Regency governance in the eyes of the West Java public.
