AMBON - Commission III of the Maluku Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) admitted that it received reports that the community had not received clean water while the project related to this had been under construction since 2021. The report came from a resident of Kayu Tiga Hamlet, Batumeja Village, Sirimau District, Ambon City.
"The source of the budget is a loan from the Maluku Provincial Government from PT Sarana Multi-Function Infrastruktur (Persero) in 2020", said Secretary of Commission III of the Maluku DPRD, Rofiq Afifudin, in Ambon, Wednesday, March 30, as reported by Antara.
So based on the information obtained from the community, he said, the commission will go down to carry out a monitoring agenda there to see firsthand what the problem is.
"At the same time, we will ask for an explanation of which party is the problem, whether the contractor or another party until the work has not been completed and until now residents have not been able to get clean water", said Rofiq.
He said, if it is said that the community has not enjoyed it, it means that the project has not been completed. "If the source of the budget is from PT SMI, it means that the project has been carried out between the end of 2020 and 2021, meaning that the contract is in 2020 and physical work will be carried out in 2021", he said.
