JAKARTA - Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Teguh Setyabudi admitted that he had consulted with the former Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono to discuss the governance of Jakarta development.

Bearing in mind, this is also a mandate from the Minister of Home Affairs (Mendagri) Tito Karnavian when inaugurating Teguh who replaced Heru for the next few months.

"Yes, Mr. Heru is not a foreigner to me either. Earlier, before the inauguration, we also talked a lot," said Teguh at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Central Jakarta, Friday, October 18.

Then, will Teguh also meet other former DKI governors such as Anies Baswedan to Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok) to discuss Jakarta's problems? Teguh is still thinking about it.

"With others, we will see the urgency. But what's wrong if necessary, we do it. But we are still mapping, actually what we have to talk about for us to follow up," he said.

Furthermore, Teguh, who is also the Director General of Dukcapil, revealed the priority of the tasks he will carry out while leading Jakarta after being inaugurated today for the next few months.

One of them is the inauguration of Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka and the 2024 Simultaneous Regional Head Elections. Teguh began to coordinate with the Metro Police, Kodam Jaya, DPRD, and the prosecutor's office to ensure that the event went smoothly.

"We must participate and there is the role of the provincial government, there are also roles from other parties, because we have from the Regional Police, Kodam, BUMN, BUMD, the ministry of institutions and so on. We conveyed this earlier and how to succeed," explained Teguh.

In addition, Teguh will also prioritize flood prevention programs, anticipation of earthquake disasters, and maintaining regional inflation stability.

"Entering the end of the year, how do we expect Jakarta, which is in the rainy season. We are also wary of the problem of flooding, or megathrust, we are mitigating related to it. Also at the end of the year we welcome Naru, it is also important. Where we also have to maintain inflation, price stabilization, market problems of course," he explained.

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.
