Jakarta Governor, Basuki “Ahok” T. Purnama will do massive reshuffle (loose translation of the Indonesian term for cuci gudang jabatan) for the posts of Transjakarta Board Directors next year.   

They all sucks. We’ll certainly evaluate it

“They all sucks. We’ll certainly evaluate it,” he said at City Hall, Monday (11/30).

Ahok admitted the replacement of board directors from Region-owned enterprise (BUMD) seems easy. “It’s easy you know, because we have 100 percent stock there,” he expressed.

He continued, during so far there is no harsh sanction imposed against unruly Transjakarta operator by revoking contracts agreement.

“Do you dare to revoke the contract? I bet you don’t. It’s because you have no any sufficient fleet,” he stressed.

However, the authorization for purchasing bus has been entrusted to the board directors but until now it has not realized yet. “I told them to purchase more buses. Actually I have no problem with more operators,” he uttered.

Ahok went on to say to grant subsidize to Transjakarta with one note that Jakartans willing to switch to public transport. “I can give you huge subsidize with one note that residents use public transport,” he closed.
