JAKARTA - The Governor of DKI Jakarta has proposed two candidates for the Mayor of South Jakarta. Because, currently the position of the South Jakarta Walkot is empty because Marullah Matali, who previously served is now the Regional Secretary of DKI.

The two names are Deputy Mayor of South Jakarta Isnawa Adji and Deputy Mayor of West Jakarta Yani Wahyu Purwoko. This submission was brought to the DKI DPRD.

Unfortunately, the Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Prasetio Edi Marsudi, refused to nominate the two candidates. Isnawa, said Prasetio, does not have a good solution in dealing with floods.

In fact, Isnawa's answer was dismissive. When asked how the solution to the flood problem in South Jakarta, Isnawa said that people lived in the mosque, then returned home when it had receded.

"In my view, there are several statements by the candidate for mayor that did not provide a solution to the flood during the flood yesterday in South Jakarta. The answer was to go to the mosque, go back, finish," said Prasetio at the DPRD DKI Building, Tuesday, February 16.

Hearing this answer, Prasetio did not provide a recommendation to the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies to appoint the former Head of the DKI Jakarta Environment Agency as the Mayor of South Jakarta.

"This is a regional leader, this is not feasible. From here we see this is not yet feasible," he said.

Meanwhile, for Yani Wahyu Purwoko, Prasetio assessed that Yani did not have a bad track record when he became Head of Penjaringan Sub-District.

"Yani, I refused because there were several problems," he said.

In this regard, Anies also proposed the name Ali Maulana as a candidate for Mayor of North Jakarta. Currently, Ali is the Deputy Mayor of North Jakarta.

Ali is proposed to be the mayor to replace Sigit Wijatmoko, who has now served as Assistant to the Government of the DKI Jakarta Regional Secretariat.

"Earlier I saw Ali Maulana, after a fit and proper test was carried out, he could answer all of them. Can answer all 11 questions from the chairman of Commission A," added Prasetio.
