TEMANGGUNG - Fajar Nugroho, a resident of Mungseng RT 1 RW 1 Kemantenan Sari Temanggung could not hide his emotions. Fajar has a special guest, Ganjar Pranowo.

The Governor of Central Java deliberately came to Fajar's house during his working visit, last Sunday, January 9th. He received news that Fajar, a PDIP cadre, was living in poverty.

When Ganjar arrived, Fajar and his wife, Suliyah greeted him at the side of the road. Understandably, Fajar's house is narrow behind the houses of other residents.

"Please, sir, I'm sorry the situation is like this," said Fajar, inviting Ganjar to enter his house.

Fajar's house is far from worthy. The house measuring 7x7 only has clapboard walls. The roof looks perforated with plasterboard from torn sacks. There is also no luxurious furniture in the house. There are only plastic chairs and mats in the living room.

However, on the board's wall, a red flag was affixed. The flag with a picture of a white muzzled bull is mounted proudly in the living room. The flag was the pride of Fajar, who was none other than the vice-chairman of PAC PDIP Temanggung for two terms.

"Is your family healthy, sir, who is this? What's your name, please?" said Ganjar to Fajar and his children who were in the house.

Ganjar also joked with Fajar's children and nephews who were still kids. He then gave gifts in the form of children's toys to them. Ganjar also gave a cellphone as a gift to Fajar's children who were already in elementary school.

In addition to gathering, Ganjar's arrival at Fajar's house was to provide assistance. He came with groceries that were given to Fajar's family. In addition, Ganjar also intends to help renovate the house occupied by Fajar and his family.

"But this cannot get help from the RTLH (uninhabitable house) sir. The problem is this is a crooked land belonging to the village. So it can't be done," explained Fajar.

Ganjar then said he would not help through the RTLH program. He will help by using personal funds on the condition that Fajar has permission from the village government.

"If it's possible to build it, I'll help later. Mr. Fajar only needs a permit for it, because it can't be helped through RTLH, then I will help. Later, if it is possible, it will be repaired immediately so that you and your family are comfortable," said Ganjar.

Fajar and his wife are very happy with Ganjar's help. They said they were ready to apply for a permit so that the house they occupied could be renovated immediately.

Ganjar also asked about Fajar's daily life apart from being active in the party. To Ganjar, Fajar said that he works in a corn chip manufacturing factory. The results are not much, just enough to feed the family.

"I have workshop equipment and a motorcycle wash. Do you want to do a repair shop and wash a motorbike? If you want, I'll give you the tools, so I can earn additional income," said Ganjar.

Fajar and his wife immediately nodded accepting the offer. Many times, Fajar and his wife thanked Ganjar for helping his family.

"Thank you sir, thank you very much sir for caring for my family. I did not expect to get a blessing like this," said Fajar.

Apart from Fajar, Ganjar also helps other PDIP cadres in Temanggung Regency. Assistance in the form of food and medical expenses. He entrusted the assistance to the Temanggung PDIP management.

"Hopefully it will be useful for my friends. I'll say goodbye first. Stay healthy, greetings to the family," concluded Ganjar.
