However, Ganjar continued, this cannot be done quickly, but the most important principle at this time is to form the institution first so that it can immediately contribute.

"We will start step by step, for example institutional, later we will transplant it first, a kind of UPT like that. When it is running, then we can increase it again with a new SOTK, in the same class as other OPDs," he said.

Ganjar has long dreamed of having Brinda in Central Java and for that he wants to set up the institution faster than other areas.

"I think we really want it to be faster, because, really, it's really important. This is a concern for many people, but not many have done it. So I ask, come on, Central Java first while we learn and improve if something is lacking," he said. .
