Officials asked to aim for excellence

Governor Sutiyoso called on city officials who were installed on
Tuesday to strive for excellence in their new positions.

"Otherwise, I can replace them if they perform below
expectations during the first six months of their tenure," the
governor told reporters after the installation ceremony at City
Hall.

Sutiyoso said he would not waste his remaining three years in
office making excuses for mediocre officials.

"They must work extra hard. I have been governor for seven
years, yet I still have to continue motivating myself to perform
the best," he said.

The governor also promised to get tough on subordinates found
guilty of involvement in graft.

"I invite the public to send input through special post office
box 008 relating to my officials' performance," he said.

Sutiyoso installed officials from the second and third
echelons in 41 posts in the administration (photo above). The
governor also is scheduled to swear in new Central Jakarta Mayor
Muhayat on Thursday, West Jakarta Mayor Fadjar Agustinus
Panjaitan on Friday and Kepulauan Seribu (Thousand Islands)
Regent Djoko Ramadhan on Monday. -- JP
