Pramono: No Political Interference or Appointments for DKI Regional-Owned Enterprises' Boards!

Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung Wibowo has banned political interference in the restructuring or selection of directors and commissioners for DKI Jakarta’s Regional-Owned Enterprises (BUMD). This measure ensures that these positions are occupied by individuals with genuine competence and professionalism. “As Governor, I fully trust the processes currently in place. Even when restructuring directors, commissioners, and so on, I only ask for one thing: no political interference, no patronage appointments. If there is a decision involving the Governor, select the best people,” Pramono stated in North Jakarta on Friday (17/4/2026). However, in terms of performance, several BUMDs, including Bank Jakarta, PAM Jaya, Jakpro, Dharma Jaya, and others, have now shown improvements. “The key point is that I provide opportunities, and I trust you all to manage these companies,” Pramono told all BUMD leaders in DKI. Pramono also reminded them not to allow anyone to act in his name for certain interests. He fully desires that in the future, Jakarta’s BUMDs become better and grow more healthily. “If anyone acts in my name, they must speak directly to me. I am truly keen to build these BUMDs to be better so they are not burdened by unproductive matters,” Pramono said. If issues arise that require decisions, Pramono admitted he is always ready to listen to all DKI BUMDs to tackle the problems together.
