Abdullah Razie Jachya (11 September 1930 – 3 May 2023) was an Indonesian bureaucrat. He was the governor of the Bengkulu province from 1989 until 1994. Previously, he held various office inside the province's government, including as provincial secretary from 1983 until 1987 and vice governor from 1987 until 1989.
Early life and education
Jachya was born on 11 September 1930 in Manna, a small town in the region of South Bengkulu, as the son of Muhammad Jachya. He completed his basic education at a Muhammadiyah-organized Hollandsch-Inlandsche School (HIS, equivalent to primary school) in Curup in 1944 and Chu-Gakko (middle school) in the Bengkulu city in 1945. He later moved to Malang, East Java, and continued his education at a local state high school from 1950 to 1953. He studied law at the Airlangga University in Surabaya from 1953 to 1957, but did not complete his degree.
Career
Bureaucratic career
Jachya’s career began as a member of the Indonesian army in Bengkulu during the Indonesian Revolution. He was assigned to the Military Police Corps in Tanjung Karang, Lampung. He joined the civil service of South Bengkulu and worked as a paymaster. In a later interview, Jachya described that as a paymaster, he was often handed money from people for no reason.
After two years working in South Bengkulu, Jachya was sent to Medan to attend a one-year course for civil servants. He completed the course in 1960 and was sent to study again three years later at the Civil Service Academy in Malang. Upon finishing his study in the academy, Jachya was assigned as a protocol staff at the office of the West Java governor's office and later at the South Sumatra governor's office.
In 1967, the Indonesian government formed the Bengkulu province from South Sumatra. As a Bengkulu native, Jachya returned to his hometown, South Bengkulu, and became the regency's financial inspector. Upon the appointment of a definitive governor for Bengkulu in 1968, Jachya was promoted and became the regional secretary of South Bengkulu. During his tenure as regional secretary, Jachya became the acting regent of South Bengkulu for about a year. He was not nominated as a definitive officeholder and was instead sent to study at the Institute of Governance Sciences in Jakarta.
Jachya graduated from the Institute of Governance Sciences with a doctorandus. He was then assigned to the Bengkulu's governor office in 1977 and held several portofolios related to regional government. He eventually became the provincial secretary in 1983 under Governor Soeprapto. Soeprapto's vice governor, Sofian Yusuf, was suspended in 1986 for alleged ties to the banned Communist Party of Indonesia. Jachya replaced him as vice governor in July 1987.
Governor of Bengkulu
After Soeprapto ended his second term as governor, Jachya was nominated as his replacement. His nomination was approved by the local parliament and Jachya was installed as governor on 17 July 1989. Several days after his installation, Jachya and Soeprapto visited Presiden Suharto. Suharto instructed him "not to do major changes" on Soeprapto's work as governor and to "complete the success" that Soeprapto has achieved.
Despite the instructions from the President, Jachya began scrutizining the works of his predecessor. He often indicated his displeasure with the irrigation works that had been undertaken during Soeprapto's era. At a speech during the 21th anniversary of Bengkulu on 21 November 1989, Jachya criticized the irrigation projects in Bengkulu for not following up with the opening of new rice fields, therefore rendering the irrigations useless.
Under his leadership, the provincial government began a joint venture with private companies and cooperating with the local chamber of commerce to promote the province to investors. His efforts in attracting foreign investors began to bear fruit in the early 1990s, as Bengkulu began exporting rubber to the United States. He also repeatedly encourage non-governmental organizations in Bengkulu to take part in the development of the province.
