JAKARTA - Member of Commission B of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Manuara Siahaan, admitted that he was surprised by Kuncoro Wibowo's resignation from the position of President Director of PT Transjakarta. In fact, Kuncoro is still in office for two months.

According to Manuara, Kuncoro should be able to account for his position properly because he has agreed to his appointment as Director of Transjakarta by the Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono.

"In my opinion, this is a bad practice of governance. Before he was inaugurated, he was interviewed, fit and proper tests, all kinds of things were fulfilled. How come he suddenly resigned, how is this? Like a child. High state officials like that are not allowed, regardless of whatever the reason," said Manuara when contacted, Tuesday, March 14.

Kuncoro, during his tenure as the boss of BUMD in the transportation sector, also still has not fulfilled the invitation to a working meeting with Commission B of the DKI DPRD. Kuncoro always reasoned that he could not attend the meeting because he already had another work agenda.

"After he was inaugurated until now we have invited him three times. The reason is that he has a meeting with the leaders. Finally, we have an agenda to summon Transjakarta to see the situation and evaluation, it has been postponed," said Manuara.

Previously, the Head of the Transjakarta Corporate Secretary Division, Apriastini Bakti Bugiansri, confirmed that Kuncoro had resigned from his corn-year-old position.

"Yes, that's right. He (Kungoro) resigned as of today," said Apri in a short message, Monday, March 13.

Kuncoro was appointed as Director of Transjakarta, the decision of shareholders outside the GMS which was signed as of January 11, 2023. Kuncoro is now replacing Mochammad Yana Aditya who has been removed.

Kuncoro was previously the President Director of PT Bandha Ghara Reksa (BGR) Logistics, a subsidiary of BUMN from PT Perusahaan Perdagangan Indonesia (PT PPI), from September 2018. Kuncoro has also served as Commercial and Information Technology Director of PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) from September 2016 to August 2017.

It was noted that Kuncoro had also served as Director of Human Resources, General Affairs and Information Technology of PT KAI from June 2012 to September 2016, as well as IT expert staff of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) from August 2017 to August 2018.
