The solution is in the hands of the provincial, city and district governments, ”he said in a special coordination meeting for the implementation of post-disaster rehabilitation and reconstruction 2018 in Central Sulawesi, at the Central Sulawesi Governor's office in Palu City, quoted by Antara, Thursday, May 27.

"The funds are ready to be used. We want to help complete this rehabilitation and reconstruction but we need their help. Let us work together and together let us fulfill what is the right of the survivors that we must fulfill, "he said.

Until now, said Wempi, his party was still waiting and receiving data on survivors who were entitled to huntap. The Ministry of PUPR's rehabilitation and reconstruction activities will resume starting next month.
