Prabowo Alludes To Anies Blames Angin For Jakarta's Pollution, This Is Reply By The Former Governor Of DKI

DOK ANTARA

JAKARTA - Presidential Candidate Prabowo Subianto asked about the DKI Jakarta pollution control program during Anies Baswedan's time as governor of DKI Jakarta. Anies answered about the control needed from outside Jakarta as well.

"So what happens in Jakarta, we install air pollution monitoring tools, if they come from within Jakarta consistently they will remain dirty, but there is a clean period, a dirty period. What happens? The wind moves from here and there when a pollutant emerges from a steam power plant, flows to Jakarta, Jakarta has an indicator tool. If the problem is from within the city, it is consistent every time, we have a pollution problem, we control the emission test," said Anies.

Prabowo responded to Anies' answer. According to him, it doesn't fit to talk about outside Jakarta, because Prabowo wants answers to Anies' program when he was governor of DKI.

"It's hard to blame the wind, so I asked, with a budget so big that steps can be taken. So I think easily blaming the wind may not need a government," Prabowo said.

Anies responded to Prabowo's statement. It was emphasized that Jakarta has a monitoring system as well as air pollution control.

"This is the difference between talking about using data by talking about using fiction, there is indeed a source of pollutants in the city, but if it's only in the city, then the number of motorbikes is the same day, so the pole occupancy rate is the same all the time. How to control in Jakarta, if I am elected president, I will control it," he said.
