JAKARTA - Several areas in DKI Jakarta were flooded, from roads to residential areas. However, the ranks of DKI Pemprov have not disclosed any information regarding the location of the floods and the handling that has been carried out in recent times.

Since yesterday, the DKI Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) has not distributed data on inundated areas. Head of Data Center BPBD DKI M. Insaf cannot be contacted by telephone. Also with the Acting Head of DKI BPBD Sabdo Kurnianto.

In their social media accounts, BPBD DKI and other DKI Provincial Government officials only provide information about the status of the water level at a number of water gates in Jakarta. Unfortunately, there is no information on which areas were affected by the flood.

In fact, in the Jakarta Kini (JAKI) application belonging to the DKI Provincial Government, it was stated that no Neighborhood Association (RT) was affected by the flood. This is different from the flood conditions today that hit parts of Jakarta, such as Cipinang Melayu.

What's wrong with this subordinate of the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Anies Baswedan?

Seeing this, a member of the DPRD DKI from the PDIP faction, Gilbert Simanjuntak, thought that there was something being covered up by the silence of the Jakarta Provincial Government regarding flood information.

"The impression they give is to cover up information that tends to deteriorate and the inability to deal with flooding", Gilbert said when contacted, Friday, February 19.

Gilbert said this was not a good government attitude. Supposedly, openness to problems must be carried out for the sake of transparency.

"We do not know exactly what the reason is. It is just the assumption that the number of flood spots has increased and has not been handled, so it is not updated", he said.
