Four pairs of candidates in the Makassar Pilkada

JAKARTA - Candidate pair number 1 Moh Ramdhan Pomanto-Fatmawati Rusdi has again claimed success in the economic sector when leading Makassar. This claim was made when Danny Pomanto was asked about the strengthening of the economy related to online transactions that are active in productive households.

"That's a sign that Makassar after 5 years, Makassar has always been the champion of economic growth and the champion of controlling the level of inflation. The state of the digitalization of the economy is not too difficult anymore, households with their start-up start-ups who will hopefully strengthen their capital. We are preparing millennials who will support the future, millennials with the ADAMA program, ”Danny Pomanto said in the Makassar Pilkada debate broadcast on the Makassar KPU Youtube, Tuesday, November 24.

Danny Pomanto promised the economic program to create a start-up from home, a boarding house for millennials.

"This is a new development, as I know Makassar is trading quite strongly from raw materials coming from the port, giving quite good economic growth. After we finished serving, Makassar's economic growth was 8.4 percent, ”said Danny Pomanto, who once served as Mayor of Makassar.

Candidate candidate pair number 2 Munafri Arifuddin-Abdul Rahman Bando then questioned Danny Pomanto's claim. Danny Pomanto's explanation is said to be inaccurate.

"This was conveyed by the panelists, the success of productive households to trade online. Why does Mr. Danny claim to be the success of the previous government? This is funny too. I think Mr. Danny, you have to explain how to follow it up in the future so that the productive economy at the lower level which we call MSMEs can be more advanced with government policies. But this is done by productive households themselves, not related to government policies, ”said the candidate for deputy mayor of Makassar, Abdul Rahman Bando.

Danny Pomanto's claim was also responded to by candidate pair number 3, Syamsu Rizal (Deng Ical) -Fadli Ananda (DILAN). From the facts found in the field, the government's attention to the development of start-up businesses is still minimal.

"It's interesting about the creative economy, when I met baristas, no government was present to help them in developing their business. Their chief complained about the government's position to be able to develop the potential, there are many start-ups but they can't get the government's attention, ”said the deputy mayor candidate Fadli Ananda.

Meanwhile, candidate pair number 4 Irman Yasin Limpo-Andi Zunnun Armin Nurdin Halid corrected Danny Pomanto's claim.

"I am interested in analyzing the economic growth of 8 percent in 2017, indeed (in the era of) Mr. Danny, but this ratio of 0.4 means that 8 percent is only controlled by 4 percent. We cannot claim that, household consumption is only 4 percent, sir. I am not happy with this figure, as a citizen understands the ratio of economic growth and gynecological ratio, it is detrimental to the people of Makassar City, "said None Limpo.

Receiving an 'attack' from 3 candidate pairs in the Makassar Pilkada, Danny Pomanto said that Abdul Rahman Bando was confused about the start-up pattern.

“Pak Rahman seems a little confused about start-up, smart city. I said earlier, this data shows that we will strengthen start-up start-ups because housewives are very close online. If you are confused about your reasoning because your vision is that there is no smart city, "Danny Pomanto said in the Makassar Pilkada debate.

Regarding Irman 'None' Limpo, Danny Pomanto also gave an explanation. He talked about numbers.

"Four percent erupted sir. The last time I got the 0.35 presidential award is definitely not nonsense because the president gave me direct love. It was immediately announced that the best inflation control was Makassar city, I was given. Gini ratio is measured in the province, we measured it in the last city of 0.35, meaning that we succeeded in narrowing down the Gini ratio, "he said.
