'Governor a model for subordinates'

JAKARTA (JP): Inspector General of the Ministry of Home
Affairs said that Governor Surjadi Soedirdja was an exemplary
model for his subordinates.

Soedardjat Nataatmaja, however, said that Soedirja was not
supported by officials of equal quality.

After a council meeting yesterday, he said that this was the
main conclusion of an inspection of the municipality's
performance under Surjadi.

"It is up to the city officials whether or not to follow his
example," Soedardjat said yesterday.

In a response to a suggestion that Surjadi be renominated, he
replied that the proposal would be taken into account.

Meanwhile, the Pos Kota daily quoted Tadjus Sobirin, chairman
of the city chapter of the dominant Golkar party as saying that
the party would release the name of a candidate on Thursday April
17.

A 1974 government regulation says that governors may serve a
second term.

Surjadi, who was officially inaugurated as the governor of
Jakarta on Oct. 6, 1992, ends his five-year term on Oct. 6. (11)
