The Governor of Central Java (Central Java) Ganjar Pranowo said that the community plays an important role in the absence of various illegal levies on weight bridges which are a form of bureaucratic reform.

"The weight bridge that is now free from extortion is not solely because of my inspection at the Timbang Subah Bridge, Batang, in 2014, the community also contributed by obeying the rules so that bureaucratic reform is easier to implement," said Ganjar, in Semarang, quoted from Antara, Sunday, January 15.

Ganjar revealed that since his findings related to illegal levies in 2014, the government has continued to make improvements, in fact, many truck drivers have dared to use their names if they find extortionists.

"But the point is that it is community satisfaction with the presence of the government and reforms in the transportation system and we continue to improvise for improvement," he said.

Ganjar explained that the authority of the weight bridge is currently being directly handled by the central government.

Nevertheless, his party will continue to actively assist and keep the weight bridge free from illegal levies.

"We encourage continuous improvement and I don't hesitate to make it happen like that, I immediately send WhatsApp to the Dirlantas and immediately follow up. We ourselves improve, but yes, the public must be educated, everything must be in proportion and rules," he also said.

He appreciated the entrepreneurs and truck drivers who were in an orderly manner, one of which was to keep the truck's cargo from exceeding the vehicle's capacity or overloading over the dimension.

"People support that order, for example, not ODOL, not over-dimensional overload, then actually it will be fine," he said.
