Had Collapsed, Tuo Bengkulu City Area Was Immediately Revitalized

BENGKULU - Chairman of Commission II of the Bengkulu City Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) Nuzuludin said that his party had prepared a budget to repair the Tuo City area building. In addition, his party also encouraged the Bengkulu City Government to coordinate with the Sumatra Regional Hall regarding the budget for improvement funds from the center.

"If later the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD) is needed to make improvements, then his party has budgeted, but the Bengkulu City Government must first ensure the results of the current law and process studies," said Nuzuludin, quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, July 5. He said that until now his party has not received clarity regarding the improvement plan carried out by the Bengkulu City Government and there is no definite information whether there is a violation or not from law enforcement officers. The Bengkulu City Government has held a joint meeting with the Bengkulu Province Regional Settlement Infrastructure Center (BPPW) and will propose building repairs that have collapsed to the central government through the State Revenue Budget (APBN). Previously, the City Resort Police (Bengkulu Police) stated that they had carried out the investigation process by collecting data and evidence of impact and due to the collapse of the 'Tuo City' building infrastructure. The Bengkulu Police Ops Division, Kompol Jufri said that the process of investigating the collapse of the building continued." Currently, the cause of the collapse of the Tuo City building infrastructure is still under investigation stage," he said. Meanwhile, related to the alleged state financial losses, the police are still investigating the case whether there are negligence factors in development or others.
