TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - During his visit to Bandung, West Java, President Joko Widodo or Jokowi highlighted the condition of Citarum River. He said the river has been polluted by factory waste and bacteria which needs a total restoration.

“The condition currently is not acceptable for the residents that use Citarum as their source of clean water. Especially for the people in Jakarta that obtain most of their water from Citarum River,” said Jokowi in a press release on Thursday, December 28.
