Will Receive Inpres Funds Build Remote Village Roads, Mukomuko Regency Government Proposes Rp400 M

BENGKULU - The Mukomuko Regency Government in Bengkulu, will receive regional development funds in the presidential instruction scheme in 2023 for the construction of a remote village connecting road in Malin Deman District.

Regent Mukomuko Sapuan said his party was still communicating and coordinating with the Presidential Staff Office (KSP) and the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) regarding inpres funds for this area. "In the near future we will coordinate with KSP and the Ministry of PUPR to finalize a national program for road infrastructure development and bridges in this area," he said in Mukomuko, Bengkulu, Monday, February 20, confiscated by Antara.

He said this area was included in the list of target recipients of development funds with an inpres scheme for infrastructure development from the central government. The local government also proposed a budget for road construction of around Rp. 400 billion and for a bridge of Rp. 58 billion. He said the local government proposed a bridge in Pondok Lunang Village, two bridges in Lubuk Selandak Village, three bridges in Talang Buai Village and four bridges in Resno Village.

Then his party also proposed the construction of 28 roads which are priority scales that must be built but cannot be financed by the APBD. "From the proposed budget of that magnitude, it is impossible that everything can be realized," he said.

Therefore, he said, his party is fighting for the construction of a village connecting road in the Malin Deman sub-district. He said, along 16.5 kilometers of axis roads starting from Ipuh sub-district to Malin Deman sub-district, which has not been handled until now. "At least we propose roads and bridges, hopefully this can be carried out in 2023," he said.
