Sutiyoso to quit city companies<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): Governor Sutiyoso will shortly resign from his
\nposition as chief supervisor at six city-owned companies, locally
\nknown as perusahaan daerah (PD), as ordered by Law No. 22\/1999 on
\nRegional Autonomy, an official said on Monday.<\/p>\n
Sutiyoso has already resigned from his position as chief
\ncommissioner at city-owned Bank DKI.<\/p>\n
\"His (Sutiyoso's) resignation will have to wait for the
\nshareholders' meetings of the six companies to decide on the
\nreplacements,\" head of the city economic office Dameria Saragih
\ntold reporters at her office.<\/p>\n
\"All four deputy governors, who are members of the board of
\nsupervisors, will also resign. They will all be replaced by
\nprofessionals,\" she added.<\/p>\n
The six city-owned companies are tap water company PDAM Jaya,
\nslaughter company PD Dharma Jaya, property company PD Pembangunan
\nSarana Jaya, market operator PD Pasar Jaya, waste water company
\nPD PAL Jaya and hotel operator PD Wisata Niaga Jaya.<\/p>\n
The companies have been targeted to contribute more than Rp 4
\nbillion (US$470,500) to the 2000 city budget. In the 1999\/2000
\nbudget, PD Pasar Jaya, PD Pembangunan Sarana Jaya and PD PAL
\nJaya's contributions only added up to about Rp 3.3 billion.<\/p>\n
\"The governor will also relinquish his position as chief
\ncommissioner at 21 jointly owned companies to improve their
\nperformances,\" Dameria said, while adding that the governor would
\ninitially resign from four of the companies, namely PT Bumi
\nGrafika Jaya, PT Food Station Cipinang, PT Pembangunan Jaya and
\nPT Pembangunan Jaya Ancol<\/p>\n
Dameria, however, denied allegations that the governor was
\nprevaricating over his resignations.<\/p>\n
\"The governor is resigning in phases because he has to wait
\nfor shareholders' meetings to find replacements,\" she said.<\/p>\n
Sutiyoso himself has repeatedly told reporters he wants to
\nresign from the positions to concentrate on his governorship.<\/p>\n
Dameria also revealed the city administration's plan to set up
\ntwo property and tourism holding companies to improve the
\ncompanies' performances in similar fields.<\/p>\n
\"We will set up PT Pembangunan Jaya Ancol as the holding
\ncompany for the tourism sector. It will oversee PD Wisata Niaga
\nJaya and Jaya Raya guest house,\" she said.<\/p>\n
\"But, we are yet to decide on which company will be the
\nholding company for property sector. We are still evaluating our
\nthree property companies,\" she added, before hinting that the
\nthree companies were PT Pembangunan Pantura, PT Pembangunan Pluit
\nJaya and PT Pulo Mas Jaya.<\/p>\n
The 21 jointly-owned companies have been targeted to secure a
\nnet revenue of more than Rp 13.65 billion in the 2000 city
\nbudget, compared to the Rp 27.11 billion they added to the city's
\ncoffers in 1999\/2000. (nvn)<\/p>",
