Pramono to Inaugurate Several DKI Provincial Government Officials Today, Including Replacement of a Mayor

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung will inaugurate several officials within the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government today, Wednesday (15/4/2026). Information received by Kompas.com indicates that a mayor in Jakarta is being replaced. However, when asked who the officials being replaced are, Pramono declined to answer. “The inauguration is today. Wait for the inauguration,” Pramono said when met at Taman Ismail Marzuki, Central Jakarta, on Wednesday (15/4/2026). Pramono was reluctant to detail who the officials to be inaugurated are or the possibility of position shifts at the echelon level. The fitness test was conducted during a joint leadership meeting (Rapimgab) chaired by DKI Jakarta DPRD Chairman Khoirudin, accompanied by Deputy Chair Ima Mahdiah and Basri Baco, and attended by Commission A Chairman Inggard Joshua. In that forum, the DPRD highlighted bureaucratic challenges in the South Jakarta area, particularly sectoral ego among Sub-District Offices (Sudin) that is often seen to hinder government performance. “How will Mr Syafrin handle that paradox amid the reality of each Sudin’s sectoral ego?” Khoirudin asked. Khoirudin questioned Syafrin’s strategy in unifying cross-agency coordination at the regional level. “Usually, Sudin are loyal to the department head. Meanwhile, Mr Syafrin is the regional leader. Can work be done quickly in such a bureaucratic situation?” Khoirudin said in a written statement on Tuesday. In addition, the ability to control civil servants (ASN) also came under scrutiny. Covering 10 districts and 67 villages, South Jakarta requires a leader deemed capable of effectively coordinating thousands of ASNs. “I want Mr Syafrin to have good control capabilities so that everyone works maximally,” Khoirudin added. DPRD Deputy Chair Ima Mahdiah also highlighted the slow resolution of social facilities and public facilities (fasos-fasum) in South Jakarta.
