The Regent of West Manggarai Proposes a Prize of IDR 10 Million to Expose Garbage Throwers in Labuan Bajo

Thus, residents cannot yet consider the prize as a program that has been opened. Provisions regarding the required evidence, report verification process, and determination of violations still require further explanation.

Highlight trash dumps at night

Edistasius also highlighted the dumping of rubbish at night in a number of locations. He asked DLH to be more careful in monitoring and determining handling strategies.

"This doesn't need to be told, it has to grow and be born from ourselves. Check it out, there is rubbish being dumped at night in several places. So we have to be more creative, more observant," he stressed.

However, the statement did not detail the location, frequency of incidents or the amount of rubbish thrown away. The available information also does not explain the follow-up monitoring at the location in question.

Through proposed awards and fines, the regent wants to encourage community involvement in maintaining a clean environment. He hopes that waste management will become a shared responsibility between the government and residents.

DLH's follow-up will determine how the proposal is implemented, especially in ensuring that reports are accompanied by evidence, verified accurately, and handled through clear mechanisms.
