JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD Rani Mauliani expressed his impression on Heru Budi Hartono while carrying out his duties as Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta for two years.

Rani assessed that there were times when Heru lacked smooth communication with members of the legislature in Jakarta. However, at least Heru is considered to be able to complete several tasks.

"However, Pak Heru has also tried to complete his duties in managing Jakarta well, although perhaps communication is still sometimes constrained," Rani told reporters, Thursday, October 17.

Heru Budi Hartono's term as Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta has ended on Wednesday, October 16, 2024. President Joko Widodo appointed Teguh Setyabudi as a replacement for Heru.

Rani said that Teguh was one of the three proposed names that would take office until the inauguration of the Governor-Deputy Governor of Jakarta was elected as a result of the 2024 Pilkada.

"We must be ready to work with him the same as when Pak Heru was assigned yesterday. The names recommended by the factions in the DPRD must also consider all possibilities on the basis of coordination with the Ministry of Home Affairs as well," Rani said.

Rani hopes that Teguh as the Acting Governor of DKI can only cooperate with the DKI Jakarta DPRD to lead Jakarta until his term ends.

"Honestly, I don't really know him very well, so I can't just judge him either. For me, as long as anyone understands his position and function of duties, it will definitely be able to lead and manage Jakarta," he explained.

Yesterday, Jokowi signed Presidential Decree number 125P regarding the dismissal and appointment of the Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta.

"At the Presidential Decree, the President honorably dismissed Mr. Heru Budi Hartono as Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta and appointed Mr. Teguh Setyabudi as Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta," said Presidential Special Staff Coordinator Ari Dwipayana.

Teguh currently serves as Director General of Dukcapil of the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri). Teguh is one of the three names proposed by the DKI Jakarta DPRD.

After the leadership of Jakarta was filled by the Acting Governor for 2 years, the DPRD again proposed 3 names of candidates for the Acting Governor of DKI who would take office until the inauguration of the Governor-Deputy Governor of Jakarta was elected as a result of the 2024 Pilkada.

Acting Head of the Ministry of Home Affairs, Aang Witarsa Rofik, said that the inauguration of the Acting Governor of DKI was only held on Friday, October 18 at 09.00 WIB.

Meanwhile, Heru's term of office was completed on October 16. Thus, the Ministry of Home Affairs appointed the Regional Secretary (Sekda) of DKI Jakarta Joko Agus Setyono to be the daily executor of the Governor of DKI.

"In the provisions of Article 131 paragraph (4) of Government Regulation No. 49 of 2008 it is emphasized that in terms of the position of regional heads and deputy regional heads it occurs (emptyness) as referred to in paragraph (3), the Regional Secretary carries out the daily duties of regional heads up to the President to appoint regional head officials," said Aang.
