akarta Financial and Asset Management Board head Heru Budi Hartono has defended his subordinates from open criticism delivered by Governor Basuki “Ahok” Tjahaja Purnama.
Heru, who was appointed by Ahok as his deputy gubernatorial candidate when he declared himself an independent candidate, said on Wednesday that his subordinates followed his orders in their work.
“I have checked the work of my subordinates, they did not make any mistakes,” Heru said in his office.
Ahok previously said that he had received a report from a resident, who told him that a plot of land in Duri Selatan, West Jakarta, had long ago been handed over by a company to the Jakarta Administration to be used as Kasih Bunda School for disabled children (SLB).
Ahok said that Heru’s office had not registered it as a city asset although the process had taken a long time. Ahok told journalists that he had told Heru that his subordinates could not do their job properly.
Heru argued that a company that wanted to hand over public and social facilities (fasum and fasos) to the administration was required to show a number of documents such as a land-ownership certificate, property tax receipts, a map of the land and the spatial plan.
He said his office would register the land if all the requirements had been fulfilled. He said that the company, PT Taman Kota, had not been able to fulfill the requirements. “The hand-over of assets should be clean and clear,” he added as reported by tribunnews.com. (bbn)
