"This has not been resolved, this is a problem that the government has not resolved," said Dempo.

According to Dempo, flooding in Bengkulu City has become a major concern for residents and the government. Factors such as high rainfall and lack of flood control infrastructure are claimed to be the main causes of this problem.

"The government is not providing meaningful solutions, there is no infrastructure to control this flood," said Dempo.

Dempo believes that many residents have complained about the negative impacts of flooding, such as material loss and even health risks.

"Certainly this unresolved flood has become a complaint from the community," said Dempo.

Dempo appealed to the Bengkulu City Government (Pemkot) to increase investment in building an effective drainage system and flood control infrastructure.

Apart from that, active community participation in maintaining the cleanliness of rivers and waterways is also considered important to reduce the risk of flooding.

"Regarding this flood, the government must make maximum use of drainage," suggested Dempo.
