JAKARTA - Candidate for Governor of Jakarta number 01, Ridwan Kamil blusukan to the RW 05 area, Milling, Cakung, East Jakarta, Saturday, November 2. The man who is familiarly called Kang Emil said he was ready to step on the gas to clean the floods.

During blusukan, Emil received many complaints about clogged sewers and rivers. So that often causes flooding in the surrounding area when the rainy season arrives.

I toured and witnessed for myself the flow of rivers and waterways that became residents' complaints. Pray for me to be elected, later I will come back here and clean up technical matters related to the term this time I die," said Ridwan Kamil.

Even though there are general problems, such as KJP, welfare, MSMEs, each location has specific problems. In RW 05, the specific problem is when you die. The leader's job is to solve residents' problems, and each location has different problems," he added.

Ridwan Kamil made a blusukan trip to Kali Cakung in the same week after he made a trip to the banks of the Rasuna Epicentrum river in the Kuningan area, South Jakarta, a project he controlled himself when he was still active as an architect. He managed to turn dirty rivers clean, beautiful, and even became one of the interesting spots.

The daily chairman of the DPD Golkar Jakarta, Judistira Hermawan, who also accompanied Kang Emil to the Milling, is optimistic that the experience of the Ridwan Kamil-Suswono pair will be able to answer and present solutions for residents.

"Of course we also see that the infrastructure in RW 05 is not perfect, including how many years of death this has not been done. Pak Ridwan Kamil is an architect, hopefully he can provide a solution for all of us in RW 05," said Judistira.

To hundreds of people who enthusiastically welcomed him, Ridwan Kamil said with a long experience, both as a regional head and as an urban design expert, he could immediately present a solution that was coveted by residents.

I was once the mayor and was once governor, once an advisor to Pak Sutiyoso, Pak Fauzi Bowo. People who have experience, once appointed, don't need to adapt much. The first day you already know what you need to work on and gaspol directly, that's roughly the case," said Ridwan Kamil.
