JAKARTA - Candidate for Governor of Jakarta number 3, Pramono Anung said he would provide access to capital or business loans to people with disabilities in Jakarta. According to him, this capital assistance can help disabled groups to be independent.

"There must be special attention and this is the most important thing so that it doesn't depend on the family from time to time. They must be taught to be independent. It is important and the responsibility of the government to facilitate them to be independent," said Pramono in Jatinegara, East Jakarta, Sunday, November 10.

Pramono admitted that he was still looking for a business credit distribution scheme for disability groups that would be carried out if he won the Jakarta gubernatorial election. Chances are, the budget will be allocated specifically from the APBD.

Pramono assessed that access to people's business loans (KUR) that had been run by the government felt burdensome in terms of interest. Meanwhile, if you follow the Mekaar PMN installment scheme, the nominal credit obtained is relatively small.

"The price for disabilities is considered still high. If Mekaar they also think it is still not enough. For that, there must be a subsidy from the Jakarta government specifically for disabilities, because there are not many. I believe the Jakarta government can provide that," Pramono explained.

In addition, Pramono will also provide sign interpreters to serve communication needs for disability groups in public places such as hospitals.

The former Cabinet Secretary also promised to simplify the recruitment process for disability groups to be able to work in government offices and regional-owned enterprises (BUMD).

"They also asked that at City Hall, disability can be accepted. Yes, for me, it should be for echelon 2, 3, in the Cabinet Secretariat, I have opened that space. I am sure that City Hall can too," he added.
