JAKARTA - Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Ahmad Riza Patria responded to the criticism of the Secretary General of PDIP Hasto Kristiyanto who said that the Tanah Abang area had returned to traffic jams since the leadership of DKI Governor Anies Baswedan.
According to Riza, if Tanah Abang as a center for buying and selling currently often causes traffic jams, it means that the economic condition of the residents has improved again. Considering that the local economy had slumped due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"For example, if there is another traffic jam, maybe this is in line with the increasing economic movement. So, on the one hand, we are grateful. This is a sign and proof that our economy is reviving," said Riza at City Hall, Central Jakarta, Monday, January 10.
The chairman of the DPD Gerindra DKI admitted that he respected Hasto's criticism. In Riza's assessment, Hasto is a figure who is well acquainted with various problems in the capital city.
"We will study the input and criticism and we will follow up on it. We will continue to fix the existing deficiencies, including the input from Mr. Hasto which will be our common concern," he said.
Previously, Hasto viewed that the Tanah Abang trading area was currently jammed again. Hasto agrees with the statement of the former governor of DKI Jakarta and PDIP cadre, Djarot Saiful Hidayat, Hasto said that Tanah Abang is like a Poco-poco dance that moves back and forth.
"This, Mr. Djarot, sees this, how come it feels like Poco-poco, going back and forth. Tanah Abang used to be in order and there were no traffic jams, why suddenly changing the leader of Tanah Abang became stuck, Tanah Abang changed," said Hasto at the East Flood Canal ( BKT), East Jakarta, Sunday, January 9th.
