Acting Jakarta Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama admitted that the city is still lacking of dump trucks until now. To resolve the problem, Jakarta Provincial Government prefers to buy new dump trucks than repair the damaged ones.

Jakarta always buys new (dump trucks), not using the old ones anymore

“Jakarta always buys new (dump trucks), not using the old ones anymore. If I repaired it (old damaged dump trucks), I would be lied again, makes me headache,” said Basuki after meeting Bekasi Mayor, Rahmat Effendi, at City Hall, Tuesday (10/28).

According to Basuki, Jakarta Provincial Government is also going to grant the old dump trucks to Bekasi Administration. Moreover, Bekasi Administration has willing to repair those dump trucks. However, the grant process must go through the Jakarta Financial Management Board (BPKD), so the assets transfer process would not meet problem.

Meanwhile, Bekasi Mayor, Rahmat Effendi, stated does not have qualm getting used dump trucks from Jakarta Provincial Government, because Bekasi Administration is still lacking of dump trucks to pick up the trashes in the region.

“What we need the most now are dump trucks. If I could bring it now, I would bring it (the dump trucks),” he expressed.
