Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung inaugurated 1,882 administrative officials, supervisors, functional officials, and school principals at the Jakarta City Hall yesterday.
We do indeed want to fill everything immediately
Out of the total officials inaugurated, 686 were administrators, supervisors, and sub-group leaders. Then, 523 were functional officials, while the remaining 673 were public school principals.
"If you add up from today when they were sworn in and two weeks ago, the total number of officials sworn in at the City Hall or in Jakarta is 2,700 people," he expressed.
He asserted, this inauguration is proof of the Jakarta government's seriousness in filling several previously vacant positions.
"We do indeed want to fill everything immediately. Hence, now all the officials in Jakarta are in place, and hopefully they can work to the fullest," he explained.
Pramono emphasized the importance of trust, commitment, integrity, and innovation for all officials inaugurated in order to improve the quality of public services in the capital.
"This inauguration is an important momentum to strengthen the governance that is professional and adaptable," he asserted.
He also ensured that the Jakarta government would keep strengthening the meritocracy system so that every position is filled by the best Human Resources (HR) who are capable of working quickly, honestly, and responsively to the needs of the residents.
"Alhamdulillah (thank God), during the nine months of my work with Bang Doel, Jakarta has been promoted from 74th to 71st place on the Global City Index. This progress is also in line with the high Human Development Index, stable economy, controlled inflation, and increased investment and quality of public services," he explained.
Nevertheless, he reminded Jakarta government not to become complacent. The challenges of social and economic inequality still need to be addressed with consistent and measurable policies.
"This situation must be addressed with consistent and measured policies," he explained.
He also asked all regional devices to formulate inclusive and equitable policies, especially in accelerating poverty alleviation and improving residents' welfare.
Then, the principals who were inaugurated were urged to strengthen the foundation of education for Jakarta's future. The principals were instructed to improve the quality of learning, optimize the role of teachers, and ensure that the school environment is safe, comfortable, and free from violence.
"There should be no more bullying in Jakarta schools. Use BOS funds responsibly and effectively. Monitor the implementation of KJP Plus, KJMU, and child protection programs to ensure they truly impact the students' future. Build a healthy, organized, and accountable school ecosystem," he explained.
Meanwhile, to functional officials, Pramono emphasized the importance of improving competence, professionalism, and coordination in every task implementation, so that each job has a real impact on the community.
"The Jakarta government will continue to provide capacity development space to strengthen the quality of human resources," he stated.
