Make Jakarta's Achievements a Foundation for Visionary Development

The Jakarta Provincial Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) is committed to continuously overseeing development policies to ensure they remain aligned with the interests of the people. This step is taken to strengthen global competitiveness and maintain Jakarta’s identity as an inclusive and cultured city.

This commitment was conveyed by the Speaker of the Jakarta DPRD, Suhud Alynudin, during a Plenary Session commemorating the 499th Anniversary of Jakarta at the Jakarta DPRD Building on Monday (22/6). Suhud stated that Jakarta has shown significant progress through modern and integrated infrastructure development, increasingly organised public transport systems, and urban area management that is more humanist and oriented towards citizen comfort.

He noted that development success is also reflected in the improved quality of public services and governance, the digitalisation of services, and the strengthening of budget transparency. Furthermore, active community participation in development planning has encouraged the creation of a more responsive and accountable government, sustainable flood control efforts, the development of green open spaces, and the empowerment of the economy based on micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and the creative economy.

“Entering its 499th year, these achievements should serve as a foundation to move forward more visionarily and sustainably,” said Suhud.

The Jakarta Provincial Government has also achieved its ninth consecutive Unqualified Opinion (WTP) regarding the implementation of the budget and the 2025 Regional Financial Reports from the Audit Board of Indonesia (BPK) Jakarta representative office. According to Suhud, this achievement is tangible proof of the Jakarta Provincial Government’s commitment to realising transparent and accountable regional financial management.

“More than just an administrative achievement, the WTP opinion reflects the responsibility in managing the mandate and the trust of the community,” Suhud stated. He added that the WTP opinion must serve as a basis to continue improving the quality of public services, the effectiveness of development, and the welfare of Jakarta’s people, as every rupiah managed must provide real benefits to the public.

“Hopefully, the synergy between the Jakarta DPRD and the Jakarta Provincial Government will continue to remain strong in building an increasingly advanced and sustainable Jakarta,” he concluded.
