Jakarta Governor, Basuki T Purnama disclosed, condition of Ciliwung River is already much cleaner than before. If there is trash stuck, it is only in the banks due to the flood. Therefore, the river is potentially used as a tourist site.

Ciliwung looks better now. I want to use it as a tourist site thus it can bring a blessing for citizens

"Ciliwung looks better now. I want to use it as a tourist site thus it can bring a blessing for citizens," he stated.

He mentions the river could also be used as a water tour site. In Kampung Pulo for instance, the boat is prepared for locals for day trips. But for water transportation cannot be realized yet. This is because, land trip is more quickly.

As known, trip taken by the governor during the review using a rubber boat takes about two hours. The delegation departed from Gedong Bridge at around 7.4 AM and arrives in Kampung Pulo around 9.15 AM. After interviews with the media, he then moved on to use rubber boats to get to Manggarai Sluice Gate, South Jakarta

He also had a chat and took photos along with residents of Kampung Pulo. In addition, he also checks the condition of residential in Kampung Pulo.
