akarta Governor Pramono Anung carried out a massive reshuffle within the city administration on Wednesday by inaugurating 59 high-ranking officials, from agency heads to mayors, to expedite the implementation of his quick-win programs, including the expansion of public transportation networks, as well as improved access to affordable housing and education.
Since taking office on Feb. 20, the former cabinet secretary has intensified efforts to deliver on his campaign promises, evident in his packed schedule launching initiatives like new Transjabodetabek bus routes to the neighboring city of Tangerang, Banten, last month, and a free preschool program for underprivileged children dubbed Prosperous Children’s Park this week.
In less than a month in office, Pramono finally moved several evicted Kampung Bayam residents to low-cost vertical housing complex Kampung Susun Bayam, located next to the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) in Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta.
The residents had been left hanging for years after their former houses were demolished to pave the way for the construction of the sports complex, under the leadership of former governor Anies Baswedan.
“The reshuffle is being executed to complete our team here at City Hall. From now on, we will work more seriously in addressing the people’s aspirations and challenges,” Pramono told journalists following the swearing-in ceremony.
