JAKARTA - Candidate for DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung expressed his desire that all RTs and RWs in Jakarta have surveillance cameras (CCTV) in order to reduce the level of vulnerability and crime.

"It turns out that not all RT/RWs have CCTV. If we are given the mandate to lead Jakarta, all RT/RWs in Jakarta must have CCTV. This is to reduce the level of vulnerability as well as crime, bullying, and so on," Pramono said as quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, September 3.

Referring to the results of a 2017 study, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government requires 70 thousand CCTV points.

Until the middle of 2024, CCTV services by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government were realized at 747 points. The distribution is, Central Jakarta as many as 180 points, West Jakarta 160 points, North Jakarta 75 points, East Jakarta 160 points, and South Jakarta as many as 172 points.

In addition to discussing CCTV, Pramono also highlighted the operational costs of RT and RW. He wants to double the operational costs for RT to Rp. 4 million from the original Rp. 2 million while RW to Rp. 5 million from the original Rp. 2.5 million per month.

"This is not too much. Our RT is around the current 30,900, RW 2,700. RT/RW is the spearhead," said Pramono.

Pramono and his partner for the 2024 DKI Pilkada, Rano Karno had the opportunity to meet the Governor of DKI 2007-2012 Fauzi Bowo at the MH Thamrin Museum.

Pramono said this was part of his statement some time ago, namely wanting to meet people who contributed to Jakarta. According to him, these figures, including Fauzi Bowo, have a leadership legacy.

Fauzi Bowo said the reason for choosing the museum as a meeting location was because he wanted to invite Pramono and Rano to get to know the city of Jakarta better as well as people who contributed to the development of the city, one of which was Mohammad Husni Thamrin.

"I am grateful to be able to stay in touch with those who will lead Jakarta. He is looking for as much information as possible. In the course of city history, many people have contributed to the city of Jakarta," said Fauzi Bowo.
