JAKARTA, KOMPAS — A total of 147 buildings and three roads along 22.4 kilometers that were rehabilitated and reconstructed after the earthquake in Mamuju Regency, West Sulawesi, were inaugurated by the President Joko Widodo on Tuesday (23/4/2024). The central government has issued a budget of up to IDR 1.31 trillion to rebuild Mamuju.
"Today we will inaugurate 147 buildings that have been rehabilitated and reconstructed in West Sulawesi, following the last disaster, the earthquake disaster," said the President.
An earthquake on January 15, 2021, hit the west coast of Sulawesi. As a result of the earthquake centered 7 kilometers northeast of Majene and with a depth of 10 km, 90 people died. A number of buildings in Mamuju and Majene collapsed and were damaged.

Together with 147 buildings, the President also inaugurated three road sections with a total length of 22.4 kilometers that have been completed through the Regional Road Program (IJD). As for the rehabilitated and reconstructed buildings, there are still mosques and regional council office buildings that are not yet finished.
Regarding the second stage of assistance, President Jokowi stated that he will convey it to the Head of the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB). "To be checked in the field again if there are still those who have not received it," he said.
Before the inauguration, the President visited the office of the West Sulawesi Governor together with the Minister of Public Works and Public Housing Basuki Hadimuljono, Minister of Transportation Budi Karya Sumadi, Minister of Health Budi Gunadi Sadikin, and Acting Governor of West Sulawesi Zudan Arif Fakrulloh.

The President also visited the building of State Vocational High School 1, one of the buildings that underwent rehabilitation. According to him, after the rehabilitation, the school building has become better.
SMK Negeri 1 Mahmud's Principal conveyed the need for dormitories for children who live far from school and have to rent accommodation. In addition, he also mentioned that the cars used for student practical activities are only old manual cars. Therefore, he requested assistance for electric cars.
President Jokowi promised to build dormitories for students. Similarly, regarding the request for assistance with electric cars, the President promised to send them.
"Nowadays, there are already many electric cars and it's time to practice what goes inside them. This afternoon, I am sending an electric car for practice, not for driving," said the President.
