PDIP Criticizes Anies Attending PPP Event In Jogja When COVID-19 Jakarta Rises

Gilbert Simanjuntak/DOK VOI-Diah Ayu PDIP Faction Member of DPRD DKI DPRD

JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan left for Yogyakarta today. Anies will attend the harlah and muskerwil of the DPW PPP DI Yogyakarta at the Grand Rohan Hotel and the Jogja Expo Center (JEC).

In the party event, Anies will be the speaker of the discussion with the theme "Building to Unite - the Jakarta Experience".

Previously, Anies also attended the Cultural Speech of PAN Chairman Zulkifli Hasan on Saturday, January 29 yesterday.

Anies' political safari in the last few days was regretted by a member of the PDIP faction of the DKI DPRD, Gilbert Simanjuntak. This is because Jakarta is currently facing an increase in COVID-19 cases due to the spread of the Omicron variant.

"Omicron is not as vicious as Delta, but this does not justify the Governor of DKI to neglect his duties and responsibilities. By the time the virus arrived at his office, he instead left Jakarta for the Yogyakarta PPP DPW event," Gilbert said when contacted, Monday, 31 January.

Gilbert assessed that Anies should focus on carrying out his duties in tackling the COVID-19 pandemic and other development work. Moreover, he said, Anies could instruct his subordinates to represent his presence at the event.

"They have the fields of National Unity and Politics. The governor of DKI is not required to take care of DIY, because managing DKI also does not show a good and responsible attitude," explained Anies.
