JAKARTA - Chairman of the PDIP faction of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Gembong Warsono, assesses that the work of the Acting Governor of DKI, who will later lead Jakarta from 2022 to 2024, will be more difficult.

The reason is that Gembong stated that many of the development targets for Jakarta which were originally prepared by the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Anies Baswedan, could not be completed until his term of office ended in October.

"It is certain that the burden of the Acting Governor will be heavier. Why? Because he has to fulfill the hopes of the citizens of Jakarta which was previously placed on the Governor of DKI as a result of the 2017 Pilkada. The burden is attached to the Acting. " said Gembong to reporters on Monday, August 22.

Gembong gave an example of a number of Anies' programs contained in the regional medium-term development plan (RPJMD) for 2017-2022 which almost did not reach the target until Anies' term ended.

Among them is the construction of houses with a down payment of Rp.0 which currently has not reached 1,000 units. In fact, in the RPJMD, Anies targets to provide 250 houses with a down payment of Rp.

Then, the flood prevention program. Until now, the river normalization program has not yet carried out the construction process because the DKI Provincial Government is hampered by land acquisition problems.

"The basic programs offered to the people of Jakarta cannot be fulfilled. Although he (Anies) said that he has fulfilled one by one what was promised to the people of Jakarta, the targets given to the people of Jakarta are too far to be achieved," said Gembong.

Therefore, Gembong hopes that whoever the Acting Governor will be chosen by President Joko Widodo through the Ministry of Home Affairs is someone who understands Jakarta's problems and can catch up with the development targets previously prepared by Anies.

"Hopefully, the President will be able to assign an Acting Officer with people who understand Jakarta's problems, so that he can immediately execute priority programs that must be done first," he added.
