JAKARTA - Acting Governor of DKI Heru Budi Hartono is considered to be able to complete homework in Jakarta after being left by Anies Baswedan who retired. He is also considered to be able to unite various elements of society.

"I believe he can complete many tasks in Jakarta, as the Acting Governor and he is able to unite all elements of the people of Jakarta," said former Head of the Legal Bureau of the Ministry of Home Affairs Widodo Sigit in a written statement, Sunday, October 23.

He considered Budi to have a visionary and assertive leadership spirit. He believes that the problems in Jakarta will soon be resolved.

"He knows how to fix Jakarta in the next two years," said Sigit.

Similarly, support also came from one of the Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU) Executive Board, Fahmy Akbar Idries Mustasyar. He is optimistic that the citizens of Jakarta will fully support Heru in creating comfort and conduciveness in the city, especially facing the upcoming political year.

Moreover, residents already know Heru because he had been a bureaucrat in Jakarta for a long time before he was busy accompanying President Joko Widodo (Jokowi).

"In the next two years, Indonesia has a national political agenda and Jakarta under the leadership of Mr. Heru will further strengthen Jakarta as a barometer of Indonesia," said Fahmy.

Jakarta, continued Fahmy, must be led by those who know the ins and outs. This heavy work cannot be done just by anyone.

"Menata Jakarta pekerjaan berat perlu orang yang mengerami betul mengenai Jakarta, dan dia orang yang tepat. Dengan track record Pak Heru, memastikan kita bahwa dia bisa mengatasi persoalan yang ada di Jakarta," katanya.

As previously reported, President Jokowi instructed Heru to focus more on solving three main problems in the capital, namely overcoming floods, managing cities, and unraveling congestion.

He then moved to do blusukan since his inauguration on Monday, October 17. Such as reviewing the project to increase the capacity of the Ciliwung Pasar Baru River, Kali Pulo Embankment, Pluit Reservoir Pump House, to DKI Jakarta Labkesda.

In addition, Heru Budi also met a number of parties such as the General Chair of PBNU, the Minister of BUMN, the Minister of PUPR and the Kapolda Metro Jaya in order to synergize regarding the Jakarta issue.
