"Before I forget, I need to say that there will be village operational funds. The village head will use the operational funds," the president said when opening the national work meeting on appropriate technology here on Friday.
The current government is drafting a Revised Government Regulation (PP) Number 22 Year 2015 on Village Funds to include budgetary elements for village operational funds.
"Again, we will revise its PP, we will just count if it gets five percent or can be four percent, but some five percent," he added.
In addition to promising village operational funds, the President also said the government would allocate budgets to urban village offices.
"And from next year, this is what I need to say, especially for the city, which will be the urban village budget," he said.
