JAKARTA - The Ministry of Public Works, repaired the Kediri Regency Government building, and rebuilt the local district DPRD office, which was damaged by the mass burning at the end of August 2025.
The Minister of Public Works (PU), Dody Hanggodo, said that for the repair of these public facilities, he had given directions to relevant officials, so that the regents and DPRD would immediately maximize their services to the community.
"We are doing full (full). Some of it collapses, the council office must collapse, rebuild from scratch. Others, yes, if we can still rehabilitate, we rehabilitate, but if rehabilitation can't, it will collapse. Which one is the fastest and the most effective is efficient. So we are working with time, "he said, quoted by Antara, in Kediri, Sunday, September 15.
He added that the process of repairing the Kediri Regency Government and DPRD buildings was also being pursued. The central government does not want an impression that the local government does not have an office so it cannot provide community services.
He added that conditions in the Regency Government building and the Kediri Regency DPRD were among the worst, especially at the Kediri Regency DPRD office, so it was necessary to rebuild it. The loss rate from the incoming report is around Rp. 100 billion.
Regarding the design, he said that he still uses the old design from the existing one, so he just needs to use it for development design.
Kediri Regent Hanindhito Himawan Pramana said the district government would still have a meeting regarding whether the building would move or not.
"If the plan is to move or not, it will still be a decision in the DPRD, not us in the executive," he said.
He added that the condition of the building was severely damaged after the incident. The minister has also given directions.
"What is clear is from the Minister's inspection and direction, the damage to the building is heavy. It will most likely be flattened," he said.
