Mayor Of Surabaya: Sub-District Staff Don't Just Work At The Desk, Go To The Field

Mayor of Surabaya Eri Cahyadi (ANTARA)

SURABAYA - Surabaya Mayor Eri Cahyadi invites the head of regional apparatus organizations (OPD) in the Surabaya City Government (Pemkot) who are unable to carry out their mandate and are reluctant to innovate to step down from their positions.

Eri Cahyadi said that his party would evaluate the performance of all staff. For Eri, when someone is not able to carry out their mandate and become a solution person, then they must be given another opportunity to replace being a leader.

"Friends, please innovate. Go down to the RT and RW including their offices," he said, quoted by Antara, Sunday, June 6.

According to Eri Cahyadi, the Surabaya City Government is currently continuing to innovate to provide easy services to the community. One of the conveniences is implemented through population administration services (adminduk) which can be done at the kelurahan and sub-district offices.

The breakthrough was initiated by Eri Cahyadi as part of an effort to bring services closer to the community. Therefore, Eri Cahyadi also invited the sub-district and village heads to carry out similar innovations, one of which was to provide services at the RW or RT hall.

"If I have an office in the kelurahan, the camat and lurah can work or provide services at the RW or RT hall. That's up to my friends to innovate," said Eri.

Mayor Eri Cahyadi again expressed his desire that all services be stopped at the kelurahan and sub-district level, so that residents do not have to come to the OPD office to get these services.

Meanwhile, at the OPD level, he said, later they can do higher-level jobs. "Work must stop at the kelurahan, so that later people in the OPD will be reduced because they are placed in kelurahan and subdistricts," he also said.

In fact, during a briefing to the heads of OPD, sub-district, and village heads at Surabaya City Hall on Friday (4/6), Eri asked the heads of OPD, sub-district and village heads so that their respective staff could go to the field. The hope is that when problems arise in the field, they can be immediately identified and resolved.

"Staff in the village and sub-district must also go to the field, don't just work at the desk," said Eri Cahyadi.
