Following that, he will go to South Buton to check the people’s conditions and ensure the well distribution of government assistance from both Ministry of Social Affairs and Ministry of Manpower,” said Heru in his statement in Baubau city.

Furthermore, Heru stated that President Jokowi is also scheduled to inspect an asphalt factory at PT Wika Bitumen in Buton regency.

“The President will also inspect Wika company regarding the activities of the asphalt company and ensure the conditions on what is required. Of course, it must side with the community and local wisdom,” he said.
