 Jokowi Pleased To See The Progress of The Monorail Project Development

Jakarta (ANTARA News) -- The Governor of Jakarta, Joko Widodo, is pleased to see the progress of the Jakarta's monorail project development.

"I am very pleased with the monorail development progress made until now," said Jokowi in the City Hall of Jakarta on Thursday. Jokowi stated that he gave the project consortium developer, PT. Jakarta Monorail, a week deadline to complete the administration of the project document.

The Government of Jakarta province is now looking forward to the document completion of the new consortium member, Ortus.

"Everything's been sorted out except the financial closing report. So, I gave them one week deadline to complete it," said Jokowi.

Once the document is delivered to the Government of Jakarta Province, he will directly sign the project plan, so the development of the monorail can be started.

Jokowi hopes that the project's document will be soon completed, making the project ready to be initiated. "I somehow couldn't say when this project will be started, because all the administrative aspects haven't been all sorted out until now," Jokowi asserted.

The Ortus Holding‘s Director of the Business Development, Banyu B. Djarot, said that his company will set a new parameter to see the progress of the monorail development along with the managing consortium of the Jakarta's monorail project. "So that everyone can see our progress," Djarot said.
