JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto met again with Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Sufmi Dasco Ahmad at the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, to discuss various issues, namely the welfare of online motorcycle taxi drivers (ojol) to the implementation of the 2026 Hajj pilgrimage.
Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya said the discussion of the two highlighted issues that were of public concern, including efforts to bring justice and social protection to the online motorcycle taxi driver profession.
"In the meeting, various things were discussed, ranging from efforts to improve the welfare of online motorcycle taxi drivers, agrarian reforms and land redistribution in favor of the community, to the implementation of Hajj services in 2026," said Seskab Teddy as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, November 20.
In addition to the issue of welfare and public services, Dasco also expressed the aspirations of village heads who are members of the All-Indonesian Village Head Association (AKSI).
Secretary Teddy explained that village heads hope that government-seeded programs, such as Free Nutrition Food and Village Cooperatives (Kopdes) of the Red and White, can prioritize the interests of the village community and encourage local economic growth. "The Deputy Chairperson of the Indonesian House of Representatives also expressed the aspirations of village heads who are members of the Association of Village Heads throughout Indonesia (AKSI), so that government programs such as Free Nutrition Food (MBG) and Village/Redih Village Cooperatives provide more optimal benefits for rural communities," said Seskab.
