JAKARTA - Vice Presidential Candidate number 2, Gibran Rakabuming Raka admitted that he was often assisted by Presidential Candidate number 3, Ganjar Pranowo in building Solo City. The reason is, Ganjar is a former 'assess' of Gibran as Governor of Central Java. This was conveyed by Gibran when asked by the Vice Presidential Candidate number 1, Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin regarding tips and tricks so that investment and big projects that Solo can also get other cities, in the vice presidential debate held by the KPU tonight. Gibran initially said that every mayor must provide reacity criteria or preparedness criteria. The preparedness criteria include, among others, a letter of interest, land readiness, master plan readiness and detail, the readiness of management institutions and management budgets, and the ability to accept grants. "I answer again, before a project comes in from the center, we mayors must prepare a reacity criteria, if there is no such thing, it is impossible for the project to enter," he said at the Jakarta Convention Center (JCC), Friday, December 22, evening. In addition, Gibran continued, it is also necessary for the mayors to prepare non-technical matters such as relocation and lobbying with residents. "We as mayors must prepare non-technical matters, relocate, negotiate with riverbank residents, along the railroad tracks, that's Gus," explained the Mayor of Solo. Then, said Gibran, must also collaborate with local governments. In terms of funding, he said, the APBN for development is assisted by APBD, CSR and BUMN budgets. In fact, said Gibran, as a regional head in Surakarta he is often assisted by the governor of Central Java, namely Ganjar Pranowo.

"Then, also have to collaborate, not all use the APBN, some use the APBN plus APBD, plus they are assisted, I often help Pak Ganjar, my governor. This is collaboration, not all APBN, there is CSR, there is BUMN too, this is collaboration," said Gibran. "Once again, before that comes in we prepare readyness criteria," concluded the eldest son of President Joko Widodo.
