The sedan, which was boarded by President Joko Widodo (Jokowi), was seen crossing the Ryacudu Canal Road in South Lampung Regency, which had holes and was flooded with water.

Based on video footage taken by the Presidential photographer, Friday, May 5, the black sedan with the red plate "Indonesia 1" was seen passing on the steepest road on Jalan Terusan Ryacudu.

The road in the video looks porous and unpaved, so the sedan Jokowi was traveling in takes it as it crosses the road.

The condition of the road that was passed was mostly badly damaged due to the large number of puddles on the left and right of the road.

When passing, the car window was also not closed, so Jokowi was seen inspecting the damaged road, while distributing souvenirs to local residents.

The day before Jokowi's arrival, a number of damaged points on Jalan Canal Ryacudu, Lampung, had been buried with limestone.

Based on Antara's observation, the pile of holes by the sickles was seen in front of the Lampung Regional Police Office and also Itera.

In fact, currently, a yellow appeal banner has been put up with the words "Be careful Jalan Berhole" on the left side of the road. Then, towards the Toll Gate of Kota Baru Itera, it can be seen that there is a repair work on damaged roads with concrete rigids.

Meanwhile, entering Kota Baru, in Jati Agung District, South Lampung Regency, the road that looks good with a concrete rigid of approximately 500 meters is calculated from the red light intersection to the Itera Toll Gate. After that, the rest went to the location of the abandoned office building in Kota Baru, which looks badly damaged.

Jokowi's working visit to Lampung was to ensure the truth of the number of damaged roads whose videos were spread online. Jokowi stated that the Government is currently starting to collect data regarding badly damaged roads in districts, cities and provinces.

Jokowi believes that this happened because the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD), both at the provincial and district and city levels, was not allocated for infrastructure development.
