Realitas mengiris hati di Kabupaten Lebak, Banten. “Negeri kita ini seolah negeri tanpa pemimpin, di tingkat lokal tidak ada yang memimpin seperti tidak ada bupati, kepala desa. Kepada pemimpin di tingkat desa segera lakukan kerja bakti jangan biarkan anak-anak bergelantungan di tengah sungai arus deras,” kata Wakil Ketua DPR Bidang Kesra Taufik Kurniawan.
“Ini seperti kita negara belum merdeka. Kepala desa, camat segera lakukan langkah,” imbuhnya.
