JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung admitted that he would live in the official residence of the Governor of DKI Jakarta on Jalan Taman Suropati Number 7, Menteng, Central Jakarta.
The official house, which is located in front of Taman Suropati, was previously not occupied by a number of former DKI Jakarta Governors such as Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok) and Anies Baswedan.
Pramono admitted that the plan to occupy an official residence to stay while serving as Governor of DKI was a suggestion from his wife, Endang Nugrahani.
"My wife, who has not wanted to, suddenly said, it would be better if the governor's office house was occupied," said Pramono at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Monday, March 17.
Pramono admitted that during his 25 years as an official, he had never lived in an official residence, starting from the ministerial official residence at the Widya Chandra Complex to the official house of the DPR RI in the Kalibata area.
However, this time, Pramono wanted to occupy the official residence facilitated for him.
"So when I visited the house, I finally decided to take it. Hopefully after Eid, I will place it," said Pramono.

Head of the DKI Jakarta Cipta Karya, Spatial Planning and Land Service (DCKTRP) Heru Hermawanto admitted that the reason for the renovation of official houses that entered this type B cultural heritage building was because for the past few years it was considered inadequate to live in the Governor of DKI.
"Indeed, in terms of need, it actually did not fulfill it, so we tried to propose the last five years for planning. But at that time it was a scene, I think so. In the end, it didn't happen. Then there was COVID-19 again. It's like that," Heru told reporters, Thursday, April 25, 2024.
Apart from not being rehabilitated for a long time, the official residence of the Governor of DKI Jakarta currently also needs a number of additional facilities. Repairs must also meet the rules of restoration of cultural heritage.
"There are additional new buildings and repairs. If the main bamboogunan can't be done anything. If the new building will be built next to the back garage. Then support protocol, support services, and so on," explained Heru.
