Tanjungpinang City Government Responds To The Arrogance Of The Mayor And Adjutant

TANJUNGPINANG - The Tanjungpinang City Government, Riau Islands Province (Kepri), responded to the news about the arrogance of Mayor Rahma and his aides towards a number of journalists who wanted to interview.

"Unlike what is described in the news, the aide or escort is only doing their job so that the mayor immediately goes to the location of the next activity because it is too late," said Head of the Protocol and Leadership Communications Section (Prokompim) Bobby Wira Satria, quoted by Antara, Thursday, August 12.

Bobby also explained that at that time there were no push-ups to hinder the work of fellow journalists.

According to him, the aide is focusing on working by carrying out the main duties and functions as an escort for regional heads.

He did not deny that sometimes the professional form of work when the regional head escort officers carry out their duties is considered to prevent other people from approaching or interviewing the regional head he is escorting.

“At that time the protocol, aides and escorts did their job well, there was no violence or disrespectful language. They just directed the mayor to get into the car as soon as possible to get to the next activity,” explained Bobby.

Meanwhile, Bobby also responded regarding the dissemination of information regarding the agenda of regional heads to the public. His party claims to always provide information about the daily schedule of regional heads, complete with time and place.

"But if the activity is an internal consolidation or a limited meeting, we will not distribute it to our fellow journalists to cover the activity," he said.

Bobby said that he would always evaluate the performance of all his staff so that they always follow the rules, procedures, and prioritize excellent service.

"We apologize if there is still an unfavorable attitude during the execution of our duties and we always accept constructive criticism and suggestions in the context of evaluating Prokompim's performance," said Bobby.
