Sheikh Zayed Solo Great Mosque Project Worker Debts IDR 145 Million Warung, Gibran: I'll Come Later

The Mayor of Solo, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, admitted that he was ready to resolve the debt problem of the Sheikh Zayed Great Mosque project workers to the shop, which amounted to Rp. 145 million. 

Dian (38), the owner of the Restu Bunda food stall, admitted that until now she has not received clarity on when the debt will be paid. 

"Mengko is not parani. It's not finished (I'll come later. I'll finish it)," explained Gibran when met in Mojo Village, Thursday (16/3/2023). 

Reported by TribunSolo, the mayor since February 2021 has admitted that he feels sorry because Dian is in debt of up to hundreds of millions of rupiah. 

"Woalah. Ning wedangan's debt has changed to a yuto status, it's bankrupt, noh (Loalah. Wedangan's debt is up to one hundred million, it's bankrupt)," he said. 

Since the construction of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque was launched from 2021-2022, Dian admitted that the foremen had promised to pay for food every two weeks. 

However, payments were several times late. Until, the meal money was not paid at all until the project was completed. 

"The agreement is paid every two weeks. Meanwhile, from the foreman's point of view, the company is not on-time. Sometimes it even gets paid once every 4 weeks," he explained. 

He said that the project workers were in debt under three foremen. The first is foreman N, who has a debt of Rp. 65 million. 

Then the foreman with the initials G owed Rp. 50 million. Both are said to have come from Demak. 

Lastly is the foreman with the initials G, from Purwodadi, who still has a food allowance of up to Rp. 30 million. 

"Yesterday the case was that many foremen complained that they were being paid. They only received a certain percentage. Where did the foreman have to look for deficiencies," said Dian.
