Prijanto Submits Resignation Enter to Jakarta Legislative Assembly

Jakarta - Jakarta Deputy Governor Prijanto came to the city's Legislative Assembly (DPRD) here Tuesday to submit his letter of resignation. Prijanto on the occasion was received by the DPRD's chairman and his three deputies respectively Ferrial Sofyan, Lulung Lunggana, Triwisaksana and Inggard Joshua, and their closed door meeting took place for about two hours and thirty minutes. Prijanto said he was upset when, on emerging from his meeting with city councilors, he was met by dozens of journalists who waited for him. "Being awaited by many journalists upsets me. Why do they wait for me? I only delivered a letter of resignation to the DPRD chairman," Prijanto told journalists soon after he completed his meeting with the DPRD leaders. When asked what was discussed in the closed-door meeting with the DPRD leaders, Prijanto said nothing special was discussed. "The DPRD leaders have accepted my letter of resignation," Prijanto said. The DPRD leaders, according to Prijanto, would hold an internal meeting to discuss his resignation. (*)
