Koswara pledged to present these findings to the provincial legislature for discussion with relevant local government agencies and departments to address public service gaps.",
        "content": "<p>Bekasi \u2014 Iwan Koswara, a member of the West Java Provincial\nLegislative Council (DPRD), raised concerns about several public service\nissues during a government oversight agenda in Jatirasa Village,\nJatiasih District, Bekasi City, on Friday, 22 May 2026.<\/p>\n<p>During a dialogue with residents, Iwan received various aspirations\nrelating to basic community needs, including job training, welfare for\nPosyandu health workers, flood management, and BPJS health insurance\nservice issues.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, direct oversight at the village level is essential\nto ensure government programmes truly benefit the community. \u201cWe want to\nensure government programmes are well-targeted and address residents\u2019\nactual needs in the field,\u201d Iwan said.<\/p>\n<p>One concern raised was the limited access residents have to job\ntraining programmes through the Balai Latihan Kerja (BLK, Vocational\nTraining Centre). Residents hope skills training can be brought closer\nto their communities through implementation at village or neighbourhood\nassociation (RW) level, making it more accessible to job seekers.<\/p>\n<p>Residents also complained about minimal incentives for Posyandu\nhealth workers. According to Iwan, these health workers play an\nimportant role in community healthcare, particularly for mothers and\nchildren. \u201cThe workload of Posyandu health workers is quite substantial,\nso they deserve greater attention to their welfare,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Flooding in RW 011 of Jatirasa Village also drew attention. Residents\nrequested water channel normalisation and embankment reinforcement to\nreduce inundation risks during the rainy season. Additionally, the\ncommunity sought support for disaster logistics, such as inflatable\nboats and life jackets, to assist in independent evacuation during\nfloods.<\/p>\n<p>The issue of unpaid BPJS health insurance contributions was also\nraised by some residents. This situation has caused difficulties for\nseveral people in accessing healthcare services because their membership\nstatus is blocked.<\/p>\n<p>Responding to these various concerns, Iwan assured residents that all\nfield findings would be brought to the West Java DPRD for discussion\nwith relevant departments and authorities. He emphasised that flood\nmanagement, healthcare, and Posyandu health worker welfare must receive\nserious attention from local government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will coordinate flood management and evacuation equipment needs\nwith the local government and the Regional Disaster Management Agency\n(BPBD). Regarding BPJS and Posyandu health workers, these are basic\ncommunity needs that must be championed,\u201d Iwan stated.<\/p>",
