TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Former Jakarta Governor Basuki Tjahaya Purnama alias Ahok launched a book titled Kebijakan Ahok (Ahok's Policy) on Thursday, August 16, 2018 at the Filateli building in Sawah Besar, Central Jakarta.
The book is written by Ahok during his imprisonment at Mako Brimob penitentiary in Depok.
The simple launching event is attended by Ahok's family and former Jakarta Deputy Governor Djarot Saiful Hidayat who accompanied Ahok in ruling the city several years ago.
One of Ahok's staffs Sakti Budiono, said that the book is expected to be a reference for those who prepare to enter the legislative or executive institutions.
