Greater Jakarta: Ahok castigates poor waste management

G

overnor Basuki '€œAhok'€ Tjahaja Purnama went on an impromptu visit to Jl. Hayam Wuruk and Jl. Mangga Besar in Central Jakarta on Tuesday to inspect the cleanliness of parks in the area.

Ahok said he had ordered Parks and Cemetery Agency head Nandar Sunandar to clear the roads of litter, but the issue remained unsolved a week later.

'€œSo I came here to see what the problem was. It seems not only the Parks and Cemetery Agency, but also the subdistrict officials lack good management. Officials should keep track of every thing in their areas, including waste,'€ Ahok told reporters on the sidelines of the impromptu visit.

He said such problems were not only found in West Jakarta, but throughout the capital city.
