REJECTION OF COMMUNITY OF NUSANTARA’S
WARTEG (small restaurant) TO THE NATIONAL CAPITAL WILL MOVE FROM JAKARTA
In connection with President Joko Widodo's state address, Friday, August 16, 2019 at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta with a plan to move the capital to a new place, we hereby, from the Warteg Community (Warung Tegal) Nusantara, abbreviated as KOWANTARA, express our opinions:
Reject the plan to move the capital to a new place with the reason:
Moving the capital requires a large budget, while the country's economic situation is not yet stable with conditions:
1. The purchasing power of Indonesian people is increasingly falling
2. Rising prices of basic commodities or groceries
3. In come small businesses are declining, especially small food stalls such as warteg (Tegal stalls) and others with the lack of buyers because the people's purchasing power is increasingly difficult
4. Difficult employment opportunities as a result of many companies closing and resulting in greater unemployment and of course wider poverty.
5. State debt is getting bigger
As well as the government's obligation to focus on overcoming the economy to be made a top priority such as: Declining purchasing power of people, high prices of basic commodities, greater unemployment, high poverty, and increasing national debt, these economic problems must immediately overcome and become the government's top priority in the welfare of its people rather than discouraging the relocation of the capital which actually adds new problems later
Thus our statement as the warteg community (warung Tegal) Nusantara abbreviated as KOWANTARA, and hopes that other communities also reject the plan to move the capital to a new place.
Jakarta, August 24, 2019
Signed
Mukroni
(chairman of KOWANTARA)
