JAKARTA - Chairman of the DKI Jakarta Regional House of Representatives Prasetyo Edi Marsudi regretted the attitude of the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan. During his tenure in Jakarta, Prasetyo viewed Anies as not appreciating the achievements of the previous governor.

Prasetyo also admitted that he often gave advice and criticism to Anies in making policies for development in the capital city.

Unfortunately, according to Anies, he did not consider this suggestion for the program being implemented. In fact, he said, the position of the Governor of DKI with the chairman of the Regional House of Representatives is equal in the government structure.

"So, he (Anies) became governor, his brain became president. Yes, it's troublesome. I'm telling you what it is. I feel. The governor and the chairman of the Regional House of Representatives are at the same level. Both are elected by the people. If there is no togetherness, what will happen?", said Prasetyo in the Total Politics YouTube show, quoted on Tuesday, February 22.

Prasetyo then gave an example of Anies' attitude which was considered to have ignored the development of the previous governor. Among them is the RPTRA which was built since Basuki Tjahaja Purnama or Ahok served as the Governor of DKI. Now, Anies has changed the name of RPTRA to Taman Maju Bersama.

Another example is the Kalijodo park, which was revitalized by Ahok to become an icon of Jakarta with various public facilities, after previously being the localization of prostitution.

Currently, Kalijodo park is neglected and neglected. "About Kalijodo, look at it now, go back to where it came from. Whereas in the past we executed it for a new icon place. Now it's a mess again", said Prasetyo.

"It's like you just can't maintain it. Even though the previous government must also respect that. For now, the important thing is that it's different. Yes, it's troublesome", he added.
