Due to land shortages, the city administration plans to demolish a number of training centers and office buildings belonging to different agencies to build an integrated training center in Kuningan, South Jakarta and low-cost apartments for squatters relocated from river banks.

“There will be no more excuses for building training centers [separately] or to hold training somewhere else [out of town],” Deputy Governor Basuki “Ahok” Tjahaja Purnama said during a presentation meeting at City Hall on Friday.

Ahok said that the integration of training centers would also mean more effective human-resources development planning.

“We can focus on assessing the capacity of our human resources and transferring people to the right posts,” he said.
