But after he replaced Head of Jakarta Housing and Government Buildings Dept, with Ika Lestari Aji, the construction runs quickly than before. The previous official, Jonathan Pasodung is deemed not maximal in providing low-cost apartment for residents.
"Before I replace Mr. Jonathan, I had told him to build 50,000 units but he just built 2,000 units. When being replaced with Mrs. Ika, she can realize my instruction well," he finished.
