“We’re still looking for Djojohadikusuma’s replacement, someone who has money. If possible, also someone with hobby and has a heart,” he stated, Wednesday (12/10).

Ahok admitted that he is impressed with Djojohadikusuma’s performances during his tenure. This is because all of the financial statements which previously not transparent, are now crystal clear.

“Have you ever known people who did not get paid for their work, but the reports made were complete? That’s why we want to learn the reports from Mr. Hashim Djojohadikusuma,” he said.
