Pramono inaugurates four renovated subdistrict offices in Jakarta
Jakarta (ANTARA) - Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung Wibowo inaugurated four newly renovated subdistrict offices, namely Senen, Tanah Tinggi, Semper Barat, and Sunter Jaya subdistricts.
Pramono stated that the subdistrict renovation programme is a priority continuously budgeted by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government each year.
“For me, subdistrict offices are not merely administrative venues but the spearhead of the lowest level of government, closest to the people. Therefore, the services provided must be the best,” said Pramono at the Senen Subdistrict Office on Jalan Pasar Senen Dalam VI, Senen Subdistrict, Central Jakarta, on Monday.
He also admitted to having instructed the Jakarta Government Bureau and the Assistant for Government Affairs to continue the renovation programme. Because subdistrict services will change the face of Jakarta, it is hoped that subdistrict services in the capital can also improve.
Pramono further hopes that these subdistrict offices with their new appearance will become a standard for faster, more comfortable public services that are truly felt to benefit all residents without exception.
The construction and revitalisation of subdistrict office buildings is part of efforts to strengthen social functions by integrating various services, such as early childhood education activities, operations of the three pillars (subdistrict head, village military outpost commander, and community policing officer), as well as support for facilities and infrastructure for PPSU personnel.
Subdistrict offices are also equipped with modern and sustainable facilities, such as fire protection systems, water treatment, backup electricity, and the utilisation of solar panel technology.
In addition, the buildings are designed to be friendly to all groups with facilities like lifts, disability access, lactation rooms, and children’s play areas to support inclusive and equitable services.
On that occasion, he also emphasised the importance of transparency and accountability in the construction process. It is hoped that the physical renewal of the buildings will be accompanied by improvements in service quality.
“If the community feels comfortable, even like at home when coming to the subdistrict office, then governance at the lowest level will run well. I emphasise that subdistrict offices are not merely administrative workplaces but centres of public services,” said Pramono.
