TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Jakarta provincial government plans on building a social institution in Ciangir, Tangerang Regency, to add the capacity of overloaded social institutions in Jakarta.
Jakarta Acting Governor Basuki 'Ahok' Tjahaja Purnama said the construction will hopefully begin in 2015. "We will speed it up," said Ahok today.
Ahok hoped the Jakarta Legislative Council would help in making a multiyear budget for the construction. "At least before my term ends, the construction will have been completed," he said.
Jakarta Social Agency chief, Masrokhan, said his agency has been making the plan to build the social institution. "The process will be at the Housing Agency," he said.
The agency is currently calculating the capacity that will be provided by the social institution. "It’s still being calculated. It has to be adjusted whether for the elderly or the psychotic first, or both," Masrokhan added.
Jakarta has 27 social institutions, but all of them have been overloaded. In order to anticipate this, detained people with social welfare problems (PMKS) will be nurtured and latereturned to their hometown.
