Budget Deficit, Meranti Islands Regency Government Stops Construction Of Regent's Office
The MERANTI ISLANDS - The Meranti Islands Regency Government (Pemkab), Riau, has stopped its plan to build a new Regent's Office in Sesap Village, Tebingtinggi District, because it costs a lot of Rp40 billion.
Acting Head of the Meranti Islands Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR), Rahmat Kurnia, said that currently the Meranti Regency Government is experiencing a budget deficit, so it seems forced if it realizes the construction of the regent's office.
"We cancel the plan to build a new regent's office in Sesap. Because we don't have enough budget to make it happen," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, May 8.
The man who is familiarly called Aang said that in order to realize the plan to build a new regent's office, it would cost more than Rp. 40 billion more. This will automatically attract huge regional finances.
The Meranti Regency Government has carried out land acquisition in Sesap Village for its construction location. Not only that, the Detail Encoreering Design (DED) for the construction of the regent's office has also been completed.
"In fact, we have also started to build proper roads to go to the regent's office," said Aang.
