PKS Challenges Anies Baswedan Regarding The Floods In Jakarta, Criticism Must Be Answered By Achievements

JAKARTA - Politician from Partai Keadilan Sejahtera (PKS) Mardani Ali Sera appreciates the Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta for improving performance related to flood management in the city. He acknowledged that the flooded areas in Jakarta were getting smaller.

However, Mardani challenged DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan to answer the residents' criticism about the flood with achievements. Although Anies has claimed that the floods in all areas of Jakarta have receded 100 percent in two days.

"The flood area is shrinking. But it is not enough. Criticism must be answered with achievements", Mardani told VOI, Monday, February 22.

According to the member of Commission II of the House of Representatives (DPR) in charge of Domestic Administration, the problem of flooding must be resolved from upstream to downstream. Starting from conception to implementation.

He emphasized that the Provincial Government must focus on the implementation to make it much more effective. Including involving the community and the central government.

"The local government should work by involving three main stakeholders. The community, central government, and local governments around to solve this flood problem", said Mardani.

As previously reported, the DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan claimed that all areas in the capital that had been flooded since Saturday, February 20, have now receded 100 percent.

"On Monday morning, at 3 a.m., it is confirmed that it has receded 100 percent", said Anies at the City Hall of DKI, Central Jakarta, Monday, February 22.
