JAKARTA - The government has prepared a budget of IDR 15 trillion for regional road repairs in 2024, said Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) Basuki Hadimuljono.

"Next year, Mrs. Minister of Finance (Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani Indrawati) will prepare IDR 15 trillion for Presidential Instruction (Presidential Instruction) regarding regional roads outside of this (PUPR Ministry Budget). It is in the State General Treasurer, so if I need it, I ask you to go there, not in DIPA (PUPR Budget Implementation List)," Minister Basuki said as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, July 26.

The number of road repair budgets, said Basuki, is not much different from the budget ceiling for the same program in 2023 of IDR 14.6 trillion.

Regarding the realization of this year's regional road repair budget of Rp. 14.6 trillion, Basuki explained, of the Rp. 7.4 trillion, it has started to be used for road repairs in various regions. Meanwhile, the remaining repair budget this year, which is Rp. 7.2 trillion, is still in the tender process.

"The remaining Rp 7.2 trillion) This is being revised. The DIPA is in process, this week it will be completed directly by e-catalog, tender," he said.

According to Basuki, the Rp14.6 trillion budget was used to repair about 6,000 km of regional roads and 2,300 meters of bridges.

"I saw that in Mamasa Regency, West Sulawesi, I immediately checked, the road was very damaged, like a dry river, including those in Sikka, Flores, there was that information, I immediately checked the program," he said again.

Regional road improvements are the mandate stated in Presidential Instruction (Inpres) No. 3 of 2023 concerning Accelerating Improvement of Regional Road Connectivity.

The Presidential Instruction aims to handle damaged non-national roads and increase the absorption of regional roads throughout Indonesia through the assistance of the State Budget.
