JAKARTA - The chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Prasetyo Edi Marsudi, responded to the inauguration of the two new mayors appointed by the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Anies Baswedan, today.

The two are South Jakarta Mayor Munjirin, who previously served as South Jakarta City Secretariat and West Jakarta Mayor Yani Wahyu Purwoko, who previously served as West Jakarta Deputy Mayor.

Apart from congratulating him, Prasetyo asked Uus and Yani not to be influenced by the lure of asset developers in their respective areas.

"I wish the newly inaugurated mayor a good job. My message is one, don't be a lackey of developers," Prasetyo told reporters, Wednesday, October 13.

Prasetyo said, South Jakarta and West Jakarta have one similar problem, namely the issue of the developer's obligation to hand over social and public facilities to the DKI Provincial Government.

The problem is that the inventory of Provincial Government assets from developers in these two areas is often problematic. In fact, it is always included in the report notes on the results of the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) examination.

"This has to be fixed. Big developers indeed, but we should not be afraid because we obey the constitution. It's an asset that can be the boss's regional income. That's why the position of mayor is a test, whether you want to defend the citizens or businessmen," said Prasetyo.

Anies inaugurated seven high-ranking echelon two officials today. In addition to Uus and Yani, Anies also inaugurated the Head of the DKI Environmental Agency (LH) Asep Kuswanto, who previously served as Head of the Integrated Waste Management Unit of the DKI LH Service; Head of the DKI Regional Revenue Agency, Lusiana Herawati, who previously served as Acting in the same position.

Then, the Head of the Tourism and Creative Economy Office, Andhika Permata, who previously served as the Head of the DKI Regional Cooperation Bureau; Secretary of the DKI Jakarta Council, Firmansyah, who previously served as Head of the DKI General Bureau, and Assistant for Welfare of the Jakarta Secretariat, Uus Kuswanto, who was previously the Mayor of West Jakarta.
