JAKARTA - Chairman of the PDIP faction of the DKI Jakarta DPRD Gembong Warsono asked Heru Budi Hartono as the Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta to be elected to make the priority scale when he has held his position in leading Jakarta. This priority scale can be inventoried by Heru from the DKI Jakarta Regional Development Plan (RPD) for 2023-2026 which has been compiled by the DKI Provincial Government. "Pak Heru must make a priority scale, which one wants to be executed first. The key is there. Pak Heru, even though the RPD is guided, must continue to make priority scale," said Gembong when contacted, Monday, October 10. Gembong said that the PDIP faction would no longer be an opposition party in the DKI parliament when Heru began serving as Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta from October 17, 2022, for the next two years. However, Heru must be able to determine the priority scale in the development of Jakarta by prioritizing the fulfillment of the needs of people's lives and solving the problems felt directly by the citizens of Jakarta. If Heru cannot determine the priority scale, then PDIP will switch to oppose its policies. One example is prioritizing the implementation of Formula E in 2023 when residents of the capital city are still frequently hit by floods. "Whether you want to hold Formula E or overcome flood problems, it's a matter of priority scale. If Mr. Heru will prioritize the first priority, namely holding Formula E, the PDIP faction will definitely face Mr. Heru," he said. As is known, Jokowi has appointed Heru Budi Hartono as Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta. This was decided by Jokowi in a meeting of the Final Assessment Team (TPA) which was chaired directly by Jokowi at the Merdeka Palace, some time ago. Before being elected, there were three names of candidates for the Acting Governor of DKI proposed by the DKI Jakarta DPRD. Apart from Heru, the names of the previously proposed Acting Governor were DKI Jakarta Provincial Secretary Marullah Matali and Director General of Polpum Kemendagri Bahtiar. Heru is not new to the scope of government in Jakarta. He started his career in 1993 by becoming a Civil Servant (PNS) with the position of Special Staff of the Mayor of North Jakarta. Heru Budi has also occupied a number of important positions. For example, in 2014, Jokowi, who was then the Governor of DKI Jakarta, appointed him as Mayor of North Jakarta. After that he was appointed Head of DKI BPKAD in 2015.
