Garbage and floods<\/p>\n
From Koran Tempo<\/p>\n
It is a fact that one of the main causes of flooding in
\nJakarta is garbage blocking the flow of water in the city's
\nrivers and canals.<\/p>\n
Therefore, I suggest that Governor Sutiyoso tightly control
\nthe sanitation agency as regards the transportation of garbage
\nfrom neighborhoods to dumps.<\/p>\n
Garbagemen should be paid at least the regional minimum wage,
\nand civil servants should be held responsible for sanitation
\nwork. Also, a stick and carrot system should be used for those
\ninvolved in sanitation.<\/p>\n
Their duties should include reporting to their superiors any
\nresidents found dumping garbage in the rivers or otherwise
\nblocking the city's rivers, canals and drains. It is common in
\nthe city for people to cover the tops of trenches for parking, to
\nset up stalls or for other purposes.<\/p>\n
I am of the opinion that the money used for making the city's
\ndrainage system work is nothing compared to the huge amount of
\nmoney stolen by corruptors. Besides, if the system works properly
\nit is Governor Sutiyoso who is likely to enjoy the praise.<\/p>\n
