Yuke Commends Pramono’s Move to Hold Coordination Meetings at Sub-district Offices

Jakarta Legislative Council Commission D Chairwoman Yuke Yurike praised Governor Pramono Anung’s move to conduct coordination meetings at the sub-district level, calling it an effective strategy to bridge the gap between authorities and residents while expediting on-the-ground problem-solving.

Real-world challenges in neighborhoods can be directly addressed

“By holding meetings on-site at sub-district offices, regular governmental duties continue, yet real-world challenges in neighborhoods can be directly addressed and followed up on by relevant technical agencies. Mr. Pram brings all his key officials straight to the community,” Yuke expressed, Wednesday (11/11).

She highlighted that sub-district-level meetings allow Pramono and his team to witness grassroots conditions firsthand and hear community grievances directly. Having related technical agencies on the ground ensures that solutions are both rapid and well-targeted.

Additionally, this model fosters greater discipline and work ethic among sub-district and urban village personnel in serving the public.

Yuke pointed out that the Governor’s planned site visits have spurred local authorities into cleaning and organizing their neighborhoods. Nevertheless, she cautioned against performing these cleanups solely in anticipation of a gubernatorial visit, urging that it become second nature.

“I saw that in several areas scheduled for visits, local staff rushed to tidy up the neighborhood. Maintaining cleanliness and order should be an ongoing habit, not something done only when an official visit is expected,” she explained.

Yuke hoped that this field-oriented approach will yield a more complete understanding of public concerns. By examining ground realities and hearing complaints firsthand, the executive and the legislative can pinpoint core issues and craft targeted interventions.

“By going directly into the field like this, the Governor and Vice Governor, along with the legislative and related agencies, can see the root problems of residents with their own eyes instead of just depending on paper reports. Hearing directly from the ground allows solutions to be executed much more swiftly,” she stated.
