JAKARTA - The vice presidential candidate Gibran Rakabuming Raka responded to complaints from residents about damaged roads in the Central Java region. The Surakarta mayor agrees with the condition of road damage, but compares it with the good Solo road.

"Central Java is indeed damaged kabeh (all), but Solo is smooth. Yes, we will fix it later," said Gibran while campaigning in Wonogiri, Central Java, Tuesday, January 23.

In addition, there are also residents who complain about agricultural issues such as fertilizers and farmer cards. Gibran promised to evaluate if he and Prabowo Subianto won the 2024 presidential election.

"Later, we will evaluate the Farmer's Card if it is not useful for farmers," said Gibran as quoted by Kompas.com.

President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) today inaugurated the repair of the Purwodadi-Wirosari-Blora road in Central Java, as the implementation of the Regional Road Presidential Instruction (Inpres).

"This afternoon I inaugurate the implementation of the Purwodadi-Wirosari-Blora-Wulung Instruction to Klatak, and Randublatung to Getas in Blora Regency, all of them from the Regional Road Presidential Instruction budget," said President Jokowi when inaugurating the Regional Road Inpres in Blora Regency, Central Java, reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, January 23.

The President detailed that the Regional Road Instruction budget for the improvement and construction of national roads in 2023 is allocated IDR 14.6 trillion.

Especially for Central Java Province, the government has budgeted IDR 1.36 trillion to repair and build 40 roads.

Blora Regency received a budget allocation for road repairs of IDR 257 billion.

The President also assessed that the benefits of implementing the Inpres on the Purwodadi-Wirosari-Blora Road can be directly felt by the community, because the road has been bumpy for years.
