BOGOR - Deputy Chairman of the West Java DPRD, Achmad Ruyat, invited the public to provide input and oversee developments in the Bogor area. This was revealed by Ruyat while attending a joint open event (bukber) with the Black Cat community at RM Pagi Sore, Bogor, Tuesday, April 2.

Ruyat expressed his appreciation for Bogor's progressive progress, especially in reducing poverty levels. However, he also highlighted the increase in the level of social inequality. This can be seen from the increase in the Human Development Index (IPM) in West Java from 73.12 in 2022 to 73.74 in 2023. In Bogor Regency, HDI rose from 71.20 in 2022 to 71.78 in 2023. Meanwhile, in Bogor City, IPM increased from 77.17 in 2022 to 77.85 in 2023.

Although the poverty rate in West Java decreased from 4,071,000 people in 2022 to 3,888,600 people in 2023, and in Bogor Regency from 474,700 people fell to 453,800 people in 2023, and in Bogor City from 79,200 people fell to 75,000 people in 2023, the gap rate, measured by the Gini ratio, increased. The ratio in West Java rose from 0.4170 in 2022 to 0.4250 in 2023.

Ruyat stated that it is time for young people who have the potential to dare to lead in reducing the level of economic inequality. This emphasizes the importance of concrete action in taking over leadership in Bogor, not just rhetoric. PKS politician, Aditiyawarman Adil, and Nasdem politician, Beninu Argobie, also expressed support for this thought.

The West Java Provincial Government has accelerated development by providing financial assistance to the Bogor Regency Government and Bogor City. The infrastructure projects financed include the construction of the Otista Bridge, Great Mosque, Block I of the Bogor City Hospital, Parung Hospital, Cisarua Market revitalization, and the construction of the Ciimekar Square.

Financial assistance from the West Java Provincial Government will continue to be provided in 2024, reaching IDR 106.4 billion for Bogor Regency and IDR 39.8 billion for Bogor City. The funds are allocated for infrastructure development, health insurance, improving teacher welfare, and procuring population support equipment.

Ruyat closed by inviting the public to continue to provide input and participate in supervising joint development. He was accompanied by a bright PKS politician, Adityawarman Adil.

The joint opening event was attended by various figures, including the Mayor of Bogor for the 2004-2014 period, Diani Budiarto, the Chairperson of the Bogor City Nasdem Party DPC, Beninu Argoebie, the Secretary of the Bogor City PDIP DPC, Atty Somadimarya, the Chairperson of the Gerindra Party DPC, Sopian, members of the Bogor City DPRD, Heri Cahyono, the HMU Kurniadi loud Host, and various other figures.
