“We decided to no longer extend the working time of civil servants who have entered retirement period in accordance to State Civil Apparatus (ASN) Act that says civil servants aged 58 years old will be retired,” stated Basuki.
According to Basuki, initially he was going to limit civil servants aged 56 years old. But due to long gap among ranks, the policy is changed. Now, Jakarta Provincial Government is currently holding open-call recruitment for officials from echelon IV, III, and II.
6 Echelon-II Officials to Be Inaugurated“With this system, we will get young people. In the future, the sworn-in officials will not only sign integrity pact, but must also fill out work programs to make measurable works. If the program was not running in three months, we will demote them to regular staff,” he asserted.
Besides Agus Priyono and Heru Budi Hartono, other officials being promoted are I Dewa Gede Soni Ariyawan from echelon-IIIa to echelon-IIa and trusted to serve as Head of Goods and Services Procurement Unit Board (BULP), and Noor Syamsu who fill in the position of Head of One-Stop Integrated Services Board (BPTSP) from previously former Central Jakarta Mayor.
There are also Irvan Amtha who is appointed as Deputy Head of BPTSP, and Muhammad Mawardi as Head of Gubernatorial Affairs and International Cooperation (KDH KLN). In addition, two echelon-II officials are assigned in the Governor’s Team for Development Acceleration (TGUPP), namely Sarwo Handayani who previously served as Deputy Governor for Spatial and Environment Division, and Muhammad Yusuf who is former of Jakarta Development Finance Comptroller (BPKP).
