JAKARTA - Chairman of the PDI-P Faction at the DPRD, Gembong Warsono, does not agree with the results of the Median survey regarding the competition for the seat of the Governor of DKI Jakarta.

In the survey, more respondents were satisfied with Anies Baswedan's performance.

According to Gembong, a number of awards that Anies exhibited on his social media were the performance of the previous DKI leaders.

"No achievements have been made by Mr. Anies when talking about performance. Even though Mr. Anies received a myriad of awards, the awards he received were not from the sweat he had while leading Jakarta," said Gembong when contacted, Tuesday, February 16.

For example, when Anies won the 2021 Sustainable Transport Award (STA) for a sustainable public transportation intermodal integration program. According to Gembong, this was contributed by the performance of Joko Widodo and Basuki Tjahaja Purnama when they were governors of DKI.

"For example, an award in the transportation sector, is that 100 percent of Pak Anies' performance? Not really, because this is a sustainable performance," said Gembong.

Then, the river and river dredging program called Gerebek Lumpur, continued Gembong, is also a continuous program. "Before Pak Anies, there had been river dredging too. I see, you know," he added.
