Governor nominee<\/p>\n
From Merdeka<\/p>\n
Nominees for Jakarta governor should be chosen among
\nmagnanimous people who are ready to place the interests of other
\npeople above their families' and their own personal interests.<\/p>\n
The future governor of Jakarta must be someone who can fight
\nfor the interests of his residents and do, among other things,
\nthe following:<\/p>\n
1. Prevent corruption, illegal levies, collusion, manipulation
\nand prostitution.<\/p>\n
2. Provide dwellings for civilian\/military civil servants and
\nprivate employees working in Jakarta. He must have houses built
\nfor these people in Jakarta.<\/p>\n
3. Put in order his own officials so that they will not send away
\nsidewalk sellers because these sellers represent the people.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, the governor must have decent buildings
\nbuilt for these sidewalk sellers to run their businesses in,
\nrather than allow them to occupy parts of public roads and
\nconsequently cause traffic congestion like what we see at Tanah
\nAbang market.<\/p>\n
4. Raise the dignity of tramps, beggars and prostitutes and have
\ndecent housing built for them. And provide jobs for the jobless
\nand introduce welfare payments of Rp 75,000 a month for the
\nunemployed.<\/p>\n
5. Find ways to prevent flood, traffic jams, fires and crime.<\/p>\n
6. Provide elementary schooling to school-age children and
\nprevent management boards and teachers of government schools from
\ncollecting any levies. In other words, elementary schooling
\nshould be free, just as in Bung Karno's era.<\/p>\n
7. Build decent elementary and junior high schools.<\/p>\n
8. The governor must not seek domestic or foreign loans to
\nfinance development in his region.<\/p>\n
9. Nor let anybody use him as a mere instrument. The governor
\nmust be able to stand independently and firmly to uphold truth
\nand justice and protect the interests of the people.<\/p>\n
A governor who can translate into reality the nine points
\nabove must be made a life-long governor. We propose that any
\nnominee who doubts he could fulfill the nine requirements should
\nwithdraw from governorship nomination.<\/p>\n
Surjadi Soedirdja and Lt. Gen. AM Hendropriyono are good and
\nnoble persons who would fit the bill.<\/p>\n
