Mamuju, Sulbarkita.com -- Member of the House of Representatives (DPR), Commission IV, Suhardi Duka expressed his disappointment at the leadership of the Mamuju Regent, Habsi Wahid. That is because there were a number of excellent programs of the Mamuju Government that were not followed up in the previous period, one of them was the Manakarra Superior Children scholarship.
"The Manakarra scholarship, which was the hope of the people, was deleted. I think a lot of things are disappointing, "said Suhardi Grief to the media crew during a thanksgiving event at the house of the chairperson of West Sulawesi DPRD, Suraedah Suhardi, Jalan Abdul Malik Pattana Endeng, Rangas Village, Simboro District, Thursday, December 26, 2019 evening.
In the period Suhardi Duka served as Regent of Mamuju before Habsi, the Democratic Party politician launched the scholarship program for high school students (high school / equivalent) who excel to continue their education to university level in Indonesia.
Reporting from Makassar.antaranews.com, Friday, April 13 2012, the Manakarra Superior scholarship program has been carried out since the last few years and even 2012 has provided rations to 100 students.
Children who receive scholarships are required to serve the area according to their respective backgrounds. But if in the journey there are students who do not return to serve in Mamuju, then all costs incurred by the government must be replaced by the student concerned.
Therefore, Suhardi Duka, who is fondly called SDK, regretted the removal of the scholarship program. He also felt that the Mamuju community had been abandoned by the government. "I see people left behind," he said.
In the same place, the former Head of the Mamuju Trade Office, Sutinah Suhardi who was determined to become the Regent of Mamuju also regretted the removal of the scholarship program. He promised that if he was elected to become the Regent of Mamuju in the 2020 Mamuju Regional Election, he would return the Manakarra Superior scholarship program.
"Our flagship program is what the SDK pack did earlier that was needed by the community, such as the Manakarra scholarship that no longer exists," Sutinah told the media crew.
Mamuju Regent's response Habsi Wahid
Sulbarkita.com came to the Mamuju Regent's office to confirm the Manakarra Superior Children scholarship program on Friday, December 27, 2019. But according to a number of staff, the Mamuju Regent, Habsi Wahid was on a business trip outside the city.
Confirmed by telephone, Mamuju Regent, Habsi Wahid confirmed that the program no longer exists. But he denied if he had deleted the program, even though he considered the scholarship a good program. "We did not delete it, but the program itself no longer existed when the authority of high school / equivalent schools was transferred to the provinces. We expect the province to continue the program because it is good. But it is no longer our authority to provide the scholarship," he told Sulbarkita.com.
In Law Number 23 Year 2014 concerning Regional Government, it is stated that the regional government is responsible for education at the elementary / high school level. While the provincial government is responsible for high school / vocational education. While higher education becomes the domain and responsibility of the central government. This Constitutional Court ruling began in 2016.
Habsi, who has also declared himself back in the Mamuju 2020 elections, stated that in order to replace the scholarship program, his party has issued a program to distribute school uniforms to school children at all levels of education, elementary, junior high, high school and private.
"The Manakarra Superior scholarship program was still at the beginning of my leadership, later in the third year my period was somewhat down due to a small budget, consequently the scholarship budget was also reduced," Habsi said.
