NPCI calls on Jokowi to retire and dare to end discrimination against people with disabilities
Solo, Central Java (ANTARA) – General Chairman of the National Paralympic Committee of Indonesia (NPCI) Senny Marbun said his party was plunged into emotion when President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo resigned from his post.
“All of us, members of the NPCI, will be immersed in emotion because President Joko Widodo dared to eradicate discrimination against people with disabilities. Thank you, Mr. President. We and our children and grandchildren will not forget never everything,” Senny said during the closing ceremony of the Peparnas 2024. at the Manahan Stadium, Solo, on Sunday.
Senny considers President Jokowi a leader who provides ample opportunities for athletes with disabilities to excel. The government also equalizes the bonuses of disabled athletes with those of non-disabled athletes.
He said Jokowi had the courage to eliminate discrimination and marginalization of disabled groups so that national achievements in disabled sports would increase during his reign.
This achievement can be attested by Indonesia's success in becoming the overall champion in three consecutive editions of the ASEAN Para Games in 2017, 2022 and 2023.

Before that, at the 2020 Paralympics in Japan, Indonesia won nine medals, including two gold.
“We should be grateful that our disability sports are growing dramatically,” Senny said.
He said that one form of seriousness of the government under Jokowi's leadership in improving the quality of athletes with disabilities is the establishment of a training center for Paralympic athletes in Karanganyar Regency, Central Java .
The President laid the foundation stone for the facility on March 8, 2024. As of August 2024, the construction progress of the training center reached 40 percent and the first phase is expected to be completed in December 2024.
