JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung emphasized that he prioritized Jakarta civil servants (PNS) as the person he appointed to become a high-ranking official within the DKI Provincial Government.
Pramono conveyed this after inaugurating Uus Kuswanto as DKI Jakarta Regional Secretary replacing Marullah Matali. Uus is a bureaucrat who has been in the Jakarta government since the beginning of his career.
"As part of the professionalism that I really hold, I openly convey that I trust DKI Jakarta ASN completely. And I will definitely (provide) main, strategic positions and so on. DKI Jakarta ASN," said Pramono at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Monday, December 1.
Several years ago, the Regional Secretary of DKI Jakarta was held by ASN outside the DKI Provincial Government. On February 13, 2023, the former Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono who is also the Presidential Chief of Staff appointed and inaugurated Joko Agus Setyono as DKI Regional Secretary on February 13, 2023.
Joko's appointment as DKI Regional Secretary is contained in Presidential Decree (Keppres) Number 13/TPA of 2023 when Joko Widodo was still President of the Republic of Indonesia. Many do not predict that Joko will be elected and serve as Secretary of DKI.
In the process, the DKI Provincial Government announced 10 echelon II officials who passed the administrative selection of candidates for the DKI Regional Secretary. Nine of them are officials of the DKI Provincial Government. Only Joko ASN comes from outside Jakarta.

Furthermore, Pramono emphasized that the appointment of Uus as the Regional Secretary was not without strong reason. According to Pramono, Uus has a fairly broad track record and bureaucratic experience. This is the main consideration for the appointment of Uus to occupy the number one civil servant position within the DKI Provincial Government.
Pramono also claimed that there were no political lobbying behind the Uus election process to become the DKI Regional Secretary from the selection and management of the talent that was passed.
"There is absolutely no lobby that can affect my decision. So when I decided to nominate Pak Uus, of course it was part of my responsibility. So, I just met Pak Uus earlier (before the inauguration). That's part of the professionalism that I uphold high," explained Pramono.
With Uus officially serving as DKI Regional Secretary, there is currently a vacancy in the position of Mayor of West Jakarta which was carried out by Uus previously. Pramono confirmed that he would appoint the Acting (Plt) tomorrow.
"What is clear is that because it has just been inaugurated, the Plt will be there tomorrow. We will announce it later. It can still be with Pak Uus today. Tomorrow morning it will be there," he continued.
For information, Uus is a career bureaucrat who has been in the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government from the start. This graduate of the 1995 State Institute of Administration (IPDN) started his position as Village Head of Rawa Village, Johar Baru District, Central Jakarta from 2005 to 2007.
Uus' position increased as the year progressed from the kelurahan, sub-district, service tribe, to being the Mayor of West Jakarta in 2020-2021. Then, Uus served as Assistant for People's Welfare (Kesra) of the DKI Jakarta Regional Secretariat in 2021-2023.
Uus also had time to serve as Acting (Pj) Regional Secretary of DKI Jakarta Province on December 3, 2022-15 February 2023, until the Mayor of West Jakarta Administration returned from March 21, 2023 until he was sworn in as Secretary of DKI as of December 1, 2025.
