Aceh – Indonesia, Central Aceh Regent Haili Yoga expressed appreciation for the performance of the Head of the Regional Command Post for the Aceh Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Acceleration Task Force (Satgas PRR), Safrizal ZA, who was considered responsive and solution-oriented in assisting the local government to accelerate budget realization.
The Central Aceh Regent conveyed this appreciation during a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and Gathering of the Post-Disaster PRR Task Force for the Aceh region in Takengon on Friday (2/10/2026).
The FGD was led directly by the Head of the Regional Command Post for the Aceh PRR Task Force, Safrizal ZA, with an agenda to present progress, evaluate post-disaster handling, and report the TKD realization of each regional leader.
“Frankly speaking, the PRR Task Force led by Regional Post Commander Safrizal has been immensely helpful to us. They don’t just come to note problems, but immediately look for solutions. Very responsive and solution-oriented,” the Central Aceh Regent stated during the forum.
During the forum, the Central Aceh Regency Government also agreed on a budget realization target of at least 50 percent by the end of October 2026.
According to the Regent, the target is realistic after various technical and administrative hurdles were resolved together with the Aceh PRR Task Force.
“The target realization by the end of October must reach at least 50 percent or more. We have resolved all obstacles together with Regional Post Commander Safrizal,” he said.
Furthermore, the Central Aceh Regent expressed hope that follow-up coordination meetings could be held again in Central Aceh.
According to him, the central region of Aceh requires special attention and intensive coordination with the central government, considering geographic challenges and limited connectivity.
“We hope the follow-up coordination meeting will be held in Central Aceh again. This central area needs a special touch. If the meeting is held here, we can directly observe field conditions,” he said.
On that occasion, the Central Aceh Regent also expressed gratitude for the central government’s support for the development of the central Aceh region, both in terms of accelerating budget realization and supporting strategic infrastructure.
“Thank you to the central government. The support for the central region of Aceh has been extraordinary. This is proof that the state is present in the Gayo Highlands,” the Regent concluded.
As is widely known, the central region of Aceh is currently being encouraged to strengthen inter-regional connectivity while bolstering national strategic tourism areas supported by programs to develop the flagship commodity, Gayo Coffee.(ril)
