Governor Pramono Appreciates The Role Of RT/RW In Jakarta Post-Demonstration Recovery

JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung Wibowo highlighted the role of local community leaders, namely RT and RW who helped in fixing the City of Jakarta after the demonstration a few days ago.

According to him, Jakarta can clean up faster because of the strong mutual cooperation that arises in the community.

"What I never imagined was that so far, the RT/RW appeared, the community leaders gathered. They declared to protect their respective villages," Pramono said when met in the West Jakarta area, Tuesday, September 2.

He considered that gotong royong was a real strength from the community.

In addition, according to him, togetherness actually strengthens the community.

"If you look at it, because of hard work, mutual cooperation, togetherness, almost everyone is shocked. How come Jakarta yesterday seemed normal. Especially today," said Pramono.

He also views that the togetherness of Jakarta residents arises because they both feel they own the city of Jakarta.

With the emergence of a sense of belonging, people are moved to create a safe and comfortable environment.

On the other hand, he said that although all activities were running normally and public transportation was back in operation, currently there are several public facilities that are still in the repair stage.

He targets the repair to be completed by September 8, 2025. During the repair process, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government made free the MRT and Transjakarta public transportation rates for the convenience of the community.

"Why not LRT? Because LRT is the management together with KAI, including KRL," explained Pramono.
