MAKASSAR - The deactivation of the Head of the Makassar City Tourism Office, South Sulawesi, Rusmayani Madjid by the Acting Mayor of Makassar Rudy Djamaluddin was criticized by the Makassar DPRD.

Chairman of Commission D DPRD Makassar Wahab Tahir assessed that the condition of the Makassar City government is very poor under the leadership of Prof. Rudy Djamaluddin.

Wahab said that sanctions against officials in government organizations do not necessarily mean removal.

He considered that the removal of Rusmayani Madjid from his position as Head of the Tourism Office was a diversion of public attention from the obligation of Acting Mayor of Makassar Rudy Djamaluddin to build communication with the central government.

"It has to go through a check and recheck, check and balance. It shouldn't be so impressed that the imposition of sanctions only distracts the issue," Wahab Tahir told VOI, Friday, February 5.

According to him, the imposition of sanctions to remove the Head of the Makassar Tourism Office was Rudy Djamaluddin's inability to lead the city government. Wahab encouraged the Governor of South Sulawesi, Nurdin Abdullah, or familiarly called Prof. NA to remove Prof. Rudy.

"I am concerned, encouraging and asking the honorable governor to remove the mayor because he is not able to run the wheels of government properly, managing the government is not easy. Patience and accuracy must be required, before making policies," he continued.

Previously, the Acting Mayor of Makassar Rudy Djamaluddin temporarily dismissed the Head of the Rusmayani Madjid Tourism Office from his post.

The temporary dismissal of Rusmayani Madjid is stated in the 'Decree of the Mayor of Makassar, South Sulawesi Province' numbered: 862/362 / BKPSDMD / II / 2021, 'Regarding Temporary Dismissal, Ir. Rusmayani Madjid, from the position of Head of the Makassar City Tourism Office '.

"The temporary dismissal is related to the results of monitoring and evaluation of the performance of the leadership related to less than optimal work so that the program is not carried out properly and an inspection will be carried out by the Makassar City Inspectorate Team," wrote a letter signed by Acting Mayor of Makassar, Rudy Djamaluddin, dated Tuesday, February 2.

Rusmayani Madjid responded to the policy of the Acting Mayor of Makassar. He said he was working well for Makassar City. He admitted that he did not know about this sudden removal.

"I don't know why I was never summoned, never asked," Rusmayani Madjid told reporters, Thursday, February 4.
