Medan Mayor Rico Tri Putra Waas has officially appointed Erfin Fahrurrazi as the new Acting Regional Secretary (Pj Sekda) for the city. The mayor immediately instructed the new official to enhance coordination and expedite the performance of regional government organizations (OPDs) in their governmental duties.

Mayor Waas emphasized that the acceleration of government work must be measurable, clear, and adhere to all legal regulations. This policy aims to maintain the momentum of government operations to achieve public welfare. He stressed that Fahrurrazi's position is vital for ensuring the government's performance functions effectively.

The mayor expects Fahrurrazi not only to receive reports but also to grasp the specific issues faced by each regional department. "I ask Erfin to ensure that every OPD understands its tasks and targets. As Acting Secretary, Erfin must not just receive reports but understand the problems faced by each regional apparatus so that the directions given are in line with the conditions on the ground," Waas stated.

Furthermore, Waas urged Fahrurrazi to act as a mentor and guide for all OPD leaders, fostering strong communication across all government bodies. Recognizing that each department has unique characteristics, challenges, and work methods, Waas noted that a uniform approach to development is not feasible. "Guide your OPD colleagues. Encourage them. And of course, as Mayor, I will also oversee the performance patterns of all of us," he asserted.

With Fahrurrazi's appointment, the Mayor hopes for optimal service delivery from the Medan City Government without significant obstacles. He also called on all civil servants to align their work with the development vision and mission at national, provincial, and regional levels. Fahrurrazi, previously the Head of the Medan City Inspectorate, replaces Wiriyah Alrahaman, who has retired.
