Coordinating Minister for Food Affairs Zulkifli Hasan opened his voice about the Red and White Village Cooperative (Kopdes) in Tuban which was suddenly closed by partners, the day after the simultaneous inauguration by President Prabowo Subianto.
Zulhas, as Zulkifli Hasan is familiarly called, said that the Kopdes problem was only a misunderstanding between the Pucangan Village Head and PT Perekonomian Kopdes partner at the Sunan Drajat Islamic Boarding School (PPSD).
Furthermore, Zulhas emphasized that the problem of misunderstanding had been resolved and the Kopdes had reopened.
"It's finished, it's just a misunderstanding that the name (of the partner) hasn't been mentioned, the name of the hut hasn't been mentioned. (Now) it's open again," he said when met at Djakarta Theater, Jakarta, Thursday, July 24.
Zulhas assessed that the possibility of the village head concerned was nervous when he spoke directly with President Prabowo Subianto. Thus, not mentioning the name of the Red and White Kopdes partner's cottage in his presentation.
"Maybe the village head is upset. His name also talked to the president. Yes, the village head, if asked by the president, maybe everything in his head is gone," he said.
For your information, the launch of the Red and White Kopdes in Pucangan Village, Montong District, Tuban Regency ended with a drama termination of the contract by the management of PT Pesantren Islamic Boarding School Sunan Drajat.
For this incident, the Head of Santiko Village pleaded guilty because he did not mention the management role of PT Perekonomian Islamic Boarding School Sunan Drajat during a dialogue with President Prabowo Subianto at the launch of the Red and White Kopdes on Monday, July 21.
