JAKARTA - Candidate for Deputy Governor of Jakarta number 3 Rano Karno gave his views on the Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta, Teguh Setyabudi, who had just served.

Teguh will only lead Jakarta for the next few months, before Jakarta has the Governor-Deputy Governor of the 2024 Pilkada results.

Rano admits that a short term of office is not easy for Teguh to solve various problems in Jakarta.

"Perhaps this, the short time is a bit difficult. Honestly, maybe he hasn't been in office for more than 2-3 months, right? It's a bit difficult," said Rano when met in Sawah Besar, Central Jakarta, Friday, October 18.

Thus, Rano hopes that at least Teguh can oversee the process of drafting the regional budget (APBD) for the 2025 fiscal year, which will be ratified by the end of this year, well and effectively.

"This means that he can guard the nearest APBD, which is quite good," he said.

On the one hand, Rano hopes that Teguh as the Acting Governor of DKI can only adapt directly in continuing the ongoing Jakarta development programs.

"The Acting Officer is implementing a proram that was designed by the previous governor. Of course, once there is a definitive governor, it will become a new program," explained Rano.

For information, the Minister of Home Affairs Tito Karnavian officially inaugurated Teguh Setyabudi as Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta to replace Heru Budi Hartono on Friday, October 18, 2024.

Before being elected by President Joko Widodo, Teguh's name was included in the proposal of the DKI DPRD and the Ministry of Home Affairs to replace Heru whose term ended on October 16.

Teguh previously served as Acting Governor of Southeast Sulawesi, Acting Governor of North Kalimantan, Director General of Regional Development of the Ministry of Home Affairs, and is currently still serving as Director General of Dukcapil of the Ministry of Home Affairs.
