JAKARTA - DKI DPRD Commission B member Gilbert Simanjuntak suspects that there is an inappropriate recruitment process within the board of directors of PT Transjakarta BUMD, thus making Transjakarta management bad and causing frequent bus accidents.
He conveyed this in a meeting of Commission B of the DKI DPRD with the Managing Director of Transjakarta, along with other directors.
This member of the PDIP faction of the DPRD DKI questioned the background of the appointment of Achmad Izzul Waro as Director of Services and Development of PT Transjakarta.
He said Izzul had never managed transportation, but had been a member of the Governor's Team for the Acceleration of Development (TGUPP) DKI.
"Director of service, you don't have a track record in the transportation sector, never manage a bajaj. Your track record was TGUPP before. It's going to be bad," said Gilbert at the DKI DPRD Building, Central Jakarta, Monday, December 6.
After the meeting, Gilbert revealed the reason why he attacked Izzul Waro. He suspects that the fit and proper test process for candidates for high-ranking Transjakarta officials is carried out with intervention from other parties. So, this is what makes Transjakarta often have accidents.
"We say the track record is not fair to enter the service directorate. So what do we get? Yes, this (often accidents)," said Gilbert.
As is known, Transjakarta buses have had accidents at least six times in the last two months. The accident occurred on October 25, 2021 in Cawang, East Jakarta, which left two people dead, namely the driver and passenger of the Transjakarta bus. Meanwhile, 31 passengers were injured.
Apart from Cawang, there was also a single accident in Senen, Central Jakarta. Then, another accident occurred on October 29, 2021, in Gandaria City, Kebayoran Lama, South Jakarta.
Then, on Thursday, December 2, in front of the Cililitan Wholesale Center (PGC). Then, the next day, there was a single TransJakarta bus accident in front of Ratu Plaza, Jl Sudirman Jakarta.
Then today, Monday, December 6, the Transjakarta bus Puribeta - Blok M route was involved in a single accident crashing into an empty land next to the Puri Beta 2 bus stop, Larangan, Tangerang City.
