TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Mayor of North Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono, claimed that he is ready to be transferred to another position. He said that as long as the transfer helps the Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta, he is ready for it. "I'm happy to work anywhere as long as I can help," he told Tempo on Wednesday, July 9 2014.
As previously reported, Acting Governor of Jakarta Basuki "Ahok" Tjahaja Purnama claimed that he will transfer several DKI Jakarta officials. Ahok had mentioned a few names, starting from Head of Department up to a Mayor.
Heru said that he was not surprised to have heard that he will be transferred by Ahok because the transfer has been planned since last April. Although he was just inaugurated on January, Heru said that being transferred after serving for three to four months is a common thing.
"In a governmental deparment, it may look unusual. But in the military or police force, being transferred after serving for four to five months is a common thing," Heru said.
