Regarding the Governor and Deputy Governor as regulated in Article 10 of the Jakarta Special Region Bill. The Gerindra faction is of the view that the Governor and Deputy Governor need to be appointed, appointed and dismissed by the President to continue to pay attention to the proposals or opinions of the DPRD of the Special Region of Jakarta.

"One of these is in order to accommodate the proposal of the 1982 Betawi Tribe Deliberative Body which some time ago carried out RDPU in Baleg, and is a form of implementation of meaningful community participation (meaningful participation) as regulated in Article 96 of the Law on the Establishment of Legislation," said a member of the Legislative Council from the Gerindra faction, Heri Gunawan, who was confiscated from the official website of the DPR.
