JAKARTA - Candidate for Governor of Jakarta number 3 Pramono Anung said he would perfect the development and infrastructure of the former Governor of DKI.

If elected as Governor of Jakarta in the 2024 Pilkada, Pramono claims that he will immediately continue to develop Anies Baswedan's legacy, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok), and other previous governors.

"In principle, I will definitely continue the good things of all the existing governors. What is good about Bang Foke, what is good about Bang Yos, Mas Anies, Pak Jokowi, Pak Ahok, I will definitely continue," said Pramono in Jakarta, quoted Thursday, November 7th.

For some people, former regional heads must have a legacy from their ideas or policies during their leadership. This legacy will usually be remembered by the public.

However, Pramono does not have a problem if he does not have a legacy in Jakarta because he first perfected the previous governor's legacy.

"Surely it will be remembered more because I will do something that no one else does. I am okay, not remembered, but the most important thing is that the problem under is solved," explained Pramono.

The former Cabinet Secretary then explained a number of legacys from the former governors. One of them, the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS), was built during Anies' leadership.

Unfortunately, infrastructure such as road access around JIS has not supported. Long congestion is always a complaint every time there is a big event held at JIS.

"So, at JIS later, as soon as the MRT hits Ancol not only to the left to Marina, but also to the right, to JIS, then to Tanjung Priok. This will be a very busy route and it is very profitable," he said.

In addition, Pramono also promised to repair facilities in Kalijodo Park which were built in the Ahok era.

"Any Kalijodo is Pak Ahok's legacy. So I will continue again. Kalijodo has now become dim, we have to fix it again. And for that, we perfect Kalijodo, for new skateboards, and so on," he added.
