JAKARTA - The mayor of Medan, Muhammad Bobby Afif Nasution, conducted an inspection of the residents' houses in the VI area, Medan Amplas District, some time ago.
Bobby, who was wearing brown official clothes, then walked down the narrow alley.
"I saw the condition of the alley which was quite apprehensive, there was a bad smell that came out not from the sewer but from the alley which was flooded with water. The water is black and there are lots of piles of garbage," said Bobby in his @bobbynst Instagram post, Monday, March 22.
Bobby said that this condition had been felt by local residents for years. So that all this time the community has been forced to side by side with the puddles every day.
The reason, said Bobby, was that the main ditch in the area was clogged. "Currently, the drainage channels in the area have been repaired by related parties," said President Jokowi's son-in-law.
Bobby also hopes that the residents in the alley will no longer be disturbed by the black puddle. Moreover, there is no response from the local government.
"I hope that in the future incidents like this will not happen again," said Bobby.

Seeing Bobby's action, the netizen who was a resident of the alley thanked the Mayor. He said residents had complained for a long time but were ignored.
"I am a resident of Tempirai Alley. Thank you, Mayor, for the fast action. Even though so far the residents have complained but there has been no response," said the owner of the account @lizamaharany.
She also hopes that Bobby will also evaluate his staff to be as responsive as himself when they hear complaints from the public.
"Hopefully they will remain trustworthy, keep real work. Please review the performance of your subordinate officers. Especially those who are directly in touch with the residents," he continued.
