BANYUASIN - General Chairperson of the Golkar Party DPP Airlangga Hartarto and his board of directors greeted cadres, sympathizers of Golkar cadres and Airlangga volunteers at Tanah Mas, Talang Kelapa, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra.

Airlangga said that the Golkar Party was not only consolidating winning the party in the upcoming 2024 election but also going to the field to capture aspirations and help the community's economic growth.

The Coordinating Minister for the Economy also revealed that the government provides assistance to farmers, planters and MSMEs in the form of subsidized people's business loans (KUR) which are given for up to five years.

“The government has prepared policies and supports for micro and small medium enterprises, especially for farmers and traders. Including sellers of meatballs and catfish pecel and others," said Airlangga during an event to absorb aspirations with the community, on Jalan Bumi Mas, Sukamoro, Talang Kelapa District, Banyuasin, Saturday (5/3).

Furthermore, Airlangga as the Chair of KPCPEN also revealed that in 2022 the government will continue to help the community's economy as many as one million street vendors (PKL) and stalls, and 1.7 million to fishermen in the form of direct assistance of six hundred thousand to the community.

Ketum Golkar said that the Golkar party is currently working with farmers from Nadhlatul Ulama (NU) to plant oil palm in the form of grants.

"The government has prepared 180 thousand hectares, which means it provides tens of billions of funds," he said.

Meanwhile, oil palm farmers and street vendors who attended the absorption of aspirations expressed their gratitude for the attention of the Golkar party in fighting for the aspirations of farmers and traders.

"Alhamdulillah, in the era of your father's leadership, we farmers felt prosperity. Previously we received assistance of Rp. 25 million per hectare, now it is Rp. 30 million per hectare," said one farmer to Airlangga Hartarto.

"Because of your concern, we ask and ask you to run for President in 2024," he said.

The same thing was conveyed by Bondan Pamungkas who revealed that he felt the impact of the People's Business Credit (KUR) provider.

"Thank God, sir, we feel a lot from KUR, our business can grow," said this catfish pecel entrepreneur.

On that occasion also Bondan hoped that there would be stability in prices and stocks of cooking oil.

"The cooking oil situation as it is today, has a huge impact on our business, sir, and we ask for the role of the Golkar Party," he said.

Responding to complaints about the current condition of cooking oil, Airlangga Hartarto revealed that the government is currently making a one-price regulation.

Airlangga Hartarto also asked all members of the Golkar Party faction to absorb the aspirations of the people, especially small and medium enterprises.
