Officials ordered not to compromise with violators
JAKARTA (JP): Governor Surjadi Soedirdja ordered his
subordinates yesterday not to hesitate to take stern actions
against regulation violators in order to improve public services.
"Don't be afraid to implement every regulation without
compromise as the rule was not prepared and deliberated
indiscriminately but through a democratic process," Surjadi said
after inducting several high-ranking city officials.
"It is unwise to make any compromise with the violators
because your conduct will just disgrace you," Surjadi said,
adding that the regulations should no longer be discussed.
Surjadi reiterated that the city administration is a service
organization and not an arena to discuss the content of the
city's regulations.
He expressed concern with the officials who should be
upholding the regulations, not making compromises.
By compromising, he said, many developers avoid having to
build their housing projects in line with the agreements signed
by their representatives and those of the companies.
Surjadi underlined the importance of improving the attitude
and work ethic of city officials, especially those in the City
Planning Office.
Poor services
The office has been severely criticized by the public due to
its poor services.
"You all have to improve your work ethic and implement the
regulations without compromise because you are responsible for
the city planning of the future," Surjadi said, pointing to the
fact that many buildings are also built in forbidden areas.
At yesterday's ceremony, the governor inducted Achmadin Ahmad
as the new head of the City Planning Office, Hartanto as the new
head of the City Development Supervision Office and Aslan Lasman
as head of the City Health Office.
Moch. Rahardjo was installed as the head of the City Fishery
Office, Soemitro as head of the City Husbandry Office, Firman
Senapan as head of the Jakarta Office of Information Ministry and
Tunggono as head of Jakarta and Tangerang state-owned electricity
company PLN Distribution Office. (yns)
