CIREBON - The Regent of Cirebon, West Java, Imron said, the government has not provided mercy funds for breeders whose livestock have died from the mouth and nail disease (PMK) outbreak because it has not been budgeted for.

"So far, we don't have (a mercy fund for breeders whose livestock died)," said Imron in Cirebon, Antara, Monday, June 27.

The budget currently made by the Cirebon Regency Government, had been budgeted for the previous year with the Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD), and there was no special budget for PMK.

He said if the PMK case continues, his party will budget it through a revised budget, but it must be agreed with the DPRD first.

"If the epidemic continues, then maybe we can budget for it, either through changes or purely," he said.

Imron added that the management of the PMK outbreak in Cirebon Regency continues to be carried out by the relevant agencies in order to minimize the losses experienced by farmers by providing medicines.

For this reason, his party also appealed to breeders and traders to be open when bringing in animals from outside the region.

"The most important thing at this time is the openness of all when bringing in livestock, so that the epidemic does not get worse," he said.
