MAKASSAR - The Mayor of Makassar, Moh Ramdhan Pomanto (Danny Pomanto), is starting to feel stifled by the rise of beggars and street children who are active on a number of protocol roads which are considered disturbing and disturbing the activities of road users.
"Immediately a team will be dispatched to discipline them, because they have disrupted the activities of motorists on the roads," he said, in Makassar, South Sulawesi, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, October 6.
Danny Pomanto revealed that the sprawl and street children were not entirely Makassar residents, but mostly came from outside Makassar who had come to Makassar to beg.
"70 percent of the slums and street children are from outside Makassar. Because they are usually from illegal settlements from outside. It has been proven that way," he said.
Danny Pomanto emphasized that everyone who comes from outside, especially to earn a living in the city to beg, must be trained more intensively at the local RT/RW level where they are temporarily domiciled.
Danny Pomanto does not deny that the previous Makassar Social Service officials did not work well so that there was neglect of these slums and street children who were increasingly looking for money on city streets.
However, through a change in the composition of the relevant office positions, these social problems will soon be resolved because the existing Regional Regulations regulate the matter.
"Now we have just started resurrecting. Yesterday it was paralyzed. I admit our Social Service did not function well yesterday, but now its duties and functions have begun to be returned," he said.
