Jakarta Governor, Pramono Anung urges the Jakarta officials who will be inaugurated today to take public transportation to get to the City Hall.

I won't appoint those who do not use public transportation

This is part of the Jakarta Government's efforts to set an example and invite the use of public transportation among civil servants.

"Today, I will appoint more than possibly 35 or 40 officials at City Hall. I won't appoint those who do not use public transportation," he expressed, at the MRT Jakarta-Dukuh Atas Transport Hub Building, Wednesday (5/7).

He explained this policy is the Jakarta Government's commitment to promote the use of public transportation and reduce private vehicles.

Even, he would continue to use public transportation in his daily activities. Hopefully, this could parse the traffic congestion in Jakarta and fix air pollution.

"Because this is part of us setting an example," he explained.

Previously, he emphasized that the determination of the names of officials to be appointed to the positions of mayor, head of agency, and head of bureau is done professionally and based on their track record. This was stated in relation to the rotation of mayors in several administrative cities.

He explained that the selection process involved various parties both inside and outside the city hall, including Personnel Bureau, Ministry of Home, and City Council Pramono ensured that nearly all selected officials had undergone a thorough in-depth process.

"Hopefully, there are no personal issues," he added.

He assessed that the deepening of the track record conducted was not related to individual political preferences, but rather focuses on the ability and willingness to work solidly in a team.

"We want people who will help or be part of this city hall team, a team that works solidly for the next five years," he uttered.
