MATARAM - The Social Service of Mataram City, West Nusa Tenggara Province, cannot provide guidance to people with disabilities because they are residents outside the city. Pak Ogah is the person who took the initiative to regulate traffic in exchange for money. "After we collected and coordinated with them, it turned out that the ogta are people with disabilities but come from outside Mataram City. So we can't do coaching," said Head of the Mataram City Social Service (Dinsos) Sudirman in Mataram, Antara, Monday, November 14. The statement was made after participating in the control team of Pak Ogah, led by a team from the Mataram City Transportation Service, regarding the handling of "pak ogah" which is on average disabled and is a person with social welfare problems (PMKS). Sudirman admitted, if you look at the side of people with disabilities, they are indeed included in the category of PMKS that can be handled by the Social Service. It's just that they are not residents of Mataram City, so in this case there needs to be cooperation with the regencies/cities of origin, sir. He said, when the first stage was brought under control, 9 people were successfully brought under control. They regulated traffic at Simpang Pagesangan, Gebang, Sweta and Simpang Rembiga. "After being put in order, I just found out and didn't expect that they have hearing impairments and speech," he said. If they are residents of Mataram City, he continued, the Mataram City Social Service will take steps to guide them in accordance with existing regulations. "Alhamdulillah, in Mataram, the handling of persons with disabilities has gone well through various coaching, education, and training programs according to their abilities so that they can be independent," he said. Meanwhile, regarding the presence of Mr. Ogah, persons with disabilities from outside Mataram City, the Social Service has invited them and a total of about 40 people and have their own communities and need handling from their home areas. "When we invited them, they conveyed the reason and were more interested in making a living in Mataram City compared to other regencies/cities in this area," he said. The hope, added Sudirman, that in the future the problem of Pak Ogah as PMKS can be resolved properly without any parties being harmed. Head of the Mataram City Transportation Service (Dishub) M Saleh previously said that the "pak ogah" control activity was carried out regularly because their existence did not have the competence and qualifications to regulate traffic. "The emergence of this 'pak ogah' gives an impression that the image of Mataram City as if traffic jams cannot be saved. In fact, what happens is only traffic congestion at certain hours," he said.
