Responding on this matter, Jakarta Water Resources Dept. Head, Teguh Hendrawan expressed that his side is currently focusing on the normalization in three major rivers in the capital. These rivers are Ciliwung, Pesanggrahan and Sunter.
"That means that it does not mean that the Cipinang river does not get priority. We focus on three rivers first. In addition, the process of land acquisition needs time," he uttered.
As for the information, in 2019 KUA-PPAS, the Water Resources Dept. proposed a budget of Rp 3.7 trillion.
