We also conducted a survey of 4,000 respondents from Jakartans and the results were very positive. This means that resident satisfaction has almost been met during the current leadership of the Acting Governor," he expressed, Tuesday (10/17).
JaRi: Decision to Extend Heru as Acting Governor is CorrectHe added Heru Budi Hartono's chances of becoming Governor of Jakarta were very big. He advised that direct services to the community should continue to be improved and justice towards residents be maintained.
"There are still people who complain about social assistance such as KJP and subsidized food. Hopefully, there will be no more reductions, even though we know there is currently a verification process. I also remind residents to respect each other's verification results from the Regional Government later," he explained.
He explained assistance in the form of the Jakarta Smart Card (KJP) and purchasing subsidized food is one of Jakarta's faces in improving the welfare of its reidents. Hopefully, it could be sustainable and maintained, as there were still many who depend on this program.
Regarding education in Jakarta, he also hoped that attention to the welfare of private teachers would be improved, by providing assistance or other things.
"I have met the Acting Governor to discuss it. He promised to keep improving and maximizing services to the community. He is a polite and firm person, I'm sure that residents will be happier and more successful for the archipelago," he stressed.
According to him, during his tenure as Acting Governor, Mr. Heru received a lot of support from the Central Government, thus problems in Jakarta related to flooding and traffic jams could be worked on together.
"Hopefully, the problem of flooding and traffic jams in Jakarta can be resolved soon. I also hope he can continue to give the best solution for his residents to this problem," he concluded.
