TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Jakarta Governor, Basuki "Ahok" Tjahaja Purnama, claimed that he has a way of dealing with the increasing thug problems in Jakarta. Ahok claimed that installing closed-circuit television (CCTV) around the capital will help solve the problem.


"By the end of this year, we will have installed 2,500 CCTVs," said Ahok. He said that CCTV is necessary to oversee Jakarta, given limited number of security personnel.


Ahok added that CCTV can help monitor crimes as long as it is put in a discreet location. He said that he will not reveal the location of the CCTVs, even to law enforcers.


Moreover, Ahok has also asked the authorities to help intensify security patrol. However, he doubted that patrolling the capital alone can reduce the number of thugs.
