SAMARINDA - The Provincial Government of East Kalimantan expressed concern about the accident on Jalan Muara Rapak Balikpapan which caused the death and injury of residents.
East Kalimantan Provincial Secretary HM Sa'bani said that previously the East Kalimantan Provincial Government had tried to overcome the problems on Jalan Muara Rapak, Balikpapan, with a plan to build an overpass to relieve congestion.
Unfortunately, the proposed development program received opposition from the East Kalimantan DPRD and the proposed budget has not been approved by the Provincial DPRD.
In fact, the DPRD gave a recommendation in the accountability of the East Kalimantan Provincial Government for the construction of the Muara Rapak Balikpapan flyover, not budgeting it with East Kalimantan's APBD funds.
"Yes, we are just concerned. It has been proposed, but has not been approved by the East Kalimantan DPRD. So, how? We cannot budget for it," said the East Kalimantan Provincial Secretary HM Sa'bani after attending the Samarinda City and Samarinda City Government Anniversary Ceremony 2022, at the Segiri Stadium Parking Yard Samarinda quoted by Antara, Friday, January 21.
The provincial government can not force to allocate it. Because, surely it will not appear in the budget, if it is not approved by the council.
Because, the budget is a mutual agreement between the council and the local government. Furthermore, the provincial government hopes the center. However, it is known that getting it is certainly not easy and not fast.
"It has been proposed to the Center. If the response is fast, of course the flyover can be built. But, we know for ourselves how the center will do it, we don't necessarily agree and respond," he said.
Furthermore, to anticipate that this does not happen again and again, it is necessary to regulate and control large vehicles that cross crowded roads with public transportation.
"Perhaps that, which is currently being confirmed and considered quickly, so that the same incident does not occur. There must be an alternative for heavy or large-load vehicles," said Sa'bani.
