Ima explained that this discourse is still limited to the proposal of one of the members of the Pramono-Rano transition team who is also a city planning expert, Nirwono Joga and needs to be studied more deeply.

"I see this proposal is interesting to discuss further by all stakeholders, but of course it requires a comprehensive study and see the context of Jakarta," said Ima in a statement, Thursday, January 23.

Ima, who is also the Deputy Chair of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, emphasized that the Pramono-Rano transition team is still focused on planning a more specific work program.

This is to ensure that the leadership shift runs smoothly and prepare priority programs that can be executed immediately after Pramono and Rano are appointed governors and deputy governors of Jakarta.

"The focus of the current transition team is to prepare concrete steps so that the new government can work directly from the first day of office," said Ima.

"Our priority programs include urgent issues such as flood management, public transportation, and improving the quality of public services," he added.

Previously, a member of the Pramono-Rano transition team, Nirwono Joga, said that Pramono Anung plans to implement a four-day work system in one week in Jakarta. In a sense, there is an addition of one holiday other than the weekend on Saturdays and Sundays.

This was revealed by a city planning expert who is also a member of the Pramono-Rano transition team, Nirwono Joga in a joint discussion with the PDIP faction of the DKI Jakarta DPRD.

"This is another trend in European cities actually, in Scandinavia. What is it? Reduction of weekdays. Four working days. Four working days are one of the things being initiated (Pramono)," said Nirwono at the DKI Jakarta DPRD Building, Tuesday, January 21.

However, this four-day working system is only applied during the peak of the rainy season or peak of the dry season. Given, during the rainy season, Jakarta is often hit by floods. Traffic congestion is increasing due to vehicles having difficulty crossing inundation points.

Then during the dry season, the level of air pollution in Jakarta is often high. In fact, Jakarta is often one of the most polluting big cities in the world.

Hanya saja, rencana 4 hari kerja ini masih perlu dimatangkan oleh Pemprov DKI saat Pramono-Rano mulai memimpin Jakarta, serta dikoordinasikan dengan DPRD DKI Jakarta.

Nirwono menuturkan, pemerintah daerah di Jakarta mesti menetapkan apakah dalam penambahan satu hari libur ke kantor tersebut tetap mewajibkan para pegawai untuk bekerja dari rumah dan siswa belajar di rumah atau sepenuhnya diliburkan.

"Of course what is the homework for 4 working days is what day to take off. What is the system? Is it a day off that is really a holiday, or is it still in the context of work from home, or work from anywhere," explained Nirwono.
