After submitting the Hope Family Program (PKH) and Smart Indonesia Cards in Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi, President Joko Widodo accompanied by Minister of Public Works and Public Housing Basuki Hadimuljono observed the implementation of cash-for-work program for the construction of irrigation and irrigation roads in Panyangkalang Village, Bajeng Sub-district, Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi, on Thursday February 15, 2018.

Under heavy rainfall, the President saw firsthand cash-intensive activities to build a 1,040-meter-wide and 3-meter-wide production line absorbing 50 workers and farmers groups. The value of this cash work is Rp600 million.

Meanwhile, the construction of irrigation by building a 581 meter long channel absorbed 150 workers valued Rp675 million.

After closely reviewing the cash work, the President explained that in South Sulawesi Province there are 380 locations of cash-intensive work.

"There is irrigation. There is a paddy field to facilitate the production. And we expect the secondary irrigation channel is good. Later the terrier will have good results in increased production," President told reporters. (Release: Protocol, Press and Media Secretariat of the President)
