JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan issued DKI Governor Regulation Number 22 of 2022 concerning Neighborhood Units and Residents' Pillars. This gubernatorial regulation replaces gubernatorial regulation No. 171 of 2016 which was issued by Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok) when he was governor of DKI.

In Pergub Number 22 of 2022, Anies extended the term of office of the RT or RW management to 5 years. In the Pergub that Ahok previously signed, the term of office of the RT-RW management was limited to 3 years.

"The term of office for the RT or RW management is 5 years from the date of the lurah decision," Anies wrote in Article 28 Paragraph (1) of the Governor's Regulation No. 22 of 2022, quoted on Thursday, May 19.

Then, in Article 28 Paragraph (2), Anies stated that the RT or RW management can only serve a maximum of 2 terms of office in a row or not consecutively.

"The determination of 2 consecutive terms of office or not consecutively starting from the election of the RT or RW management based on this Governor Regulation," said Anies in Article 28 Paragraph (3). while the RT or temporary RW administrators are not included in the calculation of 2 terms of office.

Furthermore, in Article 30, Anies states that the RT or RW management can quit before the end of their term of office on the grounds of death, resignation, permanent absence or inability to carry out their duties for 6 consecutive months.

Then, they no longer meet the requirements of the RT or RW management that have been set, and prohibits them from committing disgraceful acts as stated in the Governor Regulation 22 of 2022.
