Satpol PP & Banpol PP Hard to Be Promoted as PNS, Basuki Says

Thousands of Satpol PP and civillian polica assistant (Banpol PP) personnel in all over Indonesia are going to stage demonstration, this Monday (11/16). They are demanding to be promoted as civil servants.

Surely, if they're not included in two categories, they can't be promoted

Responding the matter, Jakarta Governor, Basuki 'Ahok' Tjahaja Purnama stated the demand is hard to be fulfilled. It is because the rules made do not accommodate such thing.

"Surely, if they're not included in two categories, they can't be promoted," said Ahok, at City Hall, Monday (11/16).

He said that difficulty of promotion of Satpol PP and Banpol PP from non-permanent employee (PTT) to be civil servant was the past political error. "It's been political errors. Those who are not included in two categories are hard to be promoted to be PNS,".

There are Predictably 5,000 personnel joining in the demonstration. It will take place at State Apparatus and Reformation and Bureaucracy Ministry Office and the House of Representatives (DPR RI) building.

The demand conveyed is asking government to immediately issue legal protection of their promotion. They hope the government would also consider about employment promotion like honorary teachers and health personnel.
