DEPOK - Deputy Mayor of Depok Imam Budi Hartono said, it is very possible for Depok City to join DKI Jakarta. There are several compelling reasons to join.

"It is very possible for Bodebek (Bogor, Depok, and Bekasi) to join the Jakarta Province, this is an old concept, the Megapolitan Jabodetabekjur concept," said Imam Budi Hartono at Depok City Hall, Antara, Thursday, July 14.

Imam said the reason for strengthening Depok to join Jakarta. First, in terms of the area close to Jakarta compared to Bandung. Second, the cultural, linguistic and other aspects are also more similar to Jakarta.

"The third is for coordination with the Depok police and also for police issues, which are the same as Jakarta, namely the Jakarta Police," said the man who is familiarly called Bang Imam.

Bang Imam continued, the fourth for the security sector, namely the TNI in Depok, joined the Pangdam Jaya, not Siliwangi. Even for the area code, Telkom also uses the code (021) Jakarta.

In addition, Depok hopes that joining Jakarta will make it easier because the distance is closer and faster. "Then Depok benefits from being able to build faster, cooler like Sudirman," said the man who served as Chairman of the Depok PKS DPD.

In addition, the Sudirman - Citayam - Bojong Gede - Depok phenomenon, said Imam Budi Hartono, was the trigger for strengthening Depok to join Jakarta.

"DKI Jakarta will soon no longer be a Special Capital Region because IKN will be in East Kalimantan (Kaltim). Jakarta will become an ordinary province, the same as West Java, Central Java and others will have a City and Regency Autonomy (Regional Autonomy)," said a former member of the West Java DPRD this.

In addition, Depok will enter Jakarta to get the advantage in terms of development which will be faster and integrated.

Then if the Bodebek area joins Jakarta, said Imam Budi Hartono, West Java will benefit because it can focus on dealing with the development of cities and regencies which are still relatively lagging behind in terms of infrastructure and the Human Development Index (IPM).

"Hopefully it will be considered by the political elites in the DPR RI, especially the Bodebek constituency," he said.
