During a speech today, Jakarta Governor Basuki “Ahok” Tjahaja Purnama said the government estimates that a huge percentage of Jakarta residents still don’t have access to clean water.
“In Jakarta only 53-57 percent have access to clean water, so there are still 43 percent who do not,” Ahok said at the Water, Sanitation and Cities Forum at the Jakarta Convention Center today as quoted by Okezone.
Ahok said many Jakartans are urgently in need of access to clean water, which he urged investors at the forum to see as a business opportunity.
“I think this is a business opportunity, or an opportunity to find the innovation that is most suitable for Jakarta,” he added.
