JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government plans to reopen the recruitment of Individual Other Service Providers (PJLP) at the Road Construction Agency. This field manpower addition is prioritized to strengthen the handling of potholes that are considered still not optimal.
DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung said the number of PJLP Bina Marga is currently not ideal, especially because many of the personnel have entered retirement.
"In particular, we also decided that the PJLP at Bina Marga, which numbered 1,400, was felt to be insufficient because many of them retired," said Pramono after a limited meeting at the DKI Jakarta City Hall, Thursday, January 29.
Pramono emphasized that he and the Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta had agreed to increase the PJLP quota. However, the exact number of personnel to be recruited will still be discussed further.
Pramono also reminded the Road Construction Agency to maintain consistency in road maintenance. According to him, handling potholes is not enough to be incidental, but must be done regularly.
Because, Pramono considers, the low number of yellow troops on duty has a direct impact on road maintenance, both emergency handling and routine maintenance.
"Specifically to the Road Construction Agency, in addition to emergency handling for roads, it is also requested that routine road maintenance be held," said Pramono.
Adding, the Head of the DKI Jakarta Road Development Service, Heru Suwondo, explained that the addition of PJLP was needed to strengthen the team handling potholes in all areas of Jakarta.
Heru revealed that out of the total of around 1,400 PJLP owned by Bina Marga today, not all of them are tasked with handling road holes. The number of officers who specifically handle this issue is still limited.
"So our current PJLP needs, we have PJLP 1,400. The ones who are in the hole are only 755. throughout Jakarta," he said.
He assessed that the number was not commensurate with the needs on the ground, given the area and intensity of road damage that must be handled. Therefore, Bina Marga will conduct an evaluation with related parties to determine the additional personnel needed.
