JAKARTA - The chief executive of Formula E who is also the General Treasurer of the Nasdem Party DPP, Ahmad Sahroni, responded to the criticism leveled by PSI General Chair Giring Ganesha when he visited the Formula E circuit.

In fact, Sahroni expressed his gratitude for Giring's willingness to visit the location and criticize the plans for this electric car racing event.

Sahroni admitted that he did not care if Giring had certain political intentions from the criticisms made. What is clear, he only sorts out the criticisms that he thinks build his enthusiasm for work.

"I thank Giring for his various inputs. I also don't care if the criticism has political intentions, political intentions or whatever. Or maybe Giring has special sentiments for someone, I don't care," Sahroni told reporters, Sunday, January 9. .

Sahroni uploaded a video of Giring reviewing the circuit as a motivating factor in the preparation for Formula E. Starting from the view of the location of the circuit, Giring's doubts about the circuit which was built from mud dumped soil, to the plunge of Giring's foot into the ground.

"Yesterday, his video on the circuit was certainly an encouragement for me to ensure that the infrastructure of the circuit will be really good, according to standards, and the construction runs smoothly," said Sahroni.

As previously reported, Giring Ganesha inspected the location of the prospective Formula E circuit in the Ancol area, North Jakarta. There, Giring's feet fell into the ground.

At first, while walking around, Giring recorded a video showing himself on an empty stretch of land that will be used as the circuit for the electric car racing event.

Giring predicts that the Formula E circuit cannot be used properly. Considering that this location used to be a swamp and was once used as a dumping ground for mud from various DKI Jakarta Provincial Government projects.

"How come, only five months left, Formula E, the circuit is still like this. It's really not ready. It seems impossible that it will be used properly in June. Obviously this event is problematic in all respects," said Giring.

While still holding the cellphone to record video, suddenly the sleigh's foot fell into the wet ground. He seemed to have a hard time getting his legs out. Until finally, he managed to get out of the "suction" of the mud with the help of others.
