Meeting With DPR, Minister Of Home Affairs Will Be Asked About The Ethics Of The Alor Regent Who Is Angry With Ministry Of Social Employees
JAKARTA - Minister of Home Affairs (Mendagri) Tito Karnavian will be asked by Commission II of the House of Representatives about the ethics of the Regent of Alor, East Nusa Tenggara, Amon Djobo, who scolded 2 employees of the Ministry of Social Affairs (Kemensos).
Regent Amon is also said to have satirized the Minister of Social Affairs (Mensos) Tri Rismaharini regarding the assistance to the Family Hope Program (PKH).
"On June 9, we will work together with the Minister of Home Affairs. We will ask how the attitude of the minister as the ministry that oversees regional heads is. We wait for the 9th," said Deputy Chairman of Commission II of the DPR, Junimart Girsang, when met by VOI at the DPR building, Senayan, Jakarta, Thursday, 3 June.
Junimart said that his party always reminded elected regional heads throughout Indonesia to always prioritize good ethics and behavior as role models for the community.
"From Commission II of the DPR, we actually always talk that every official from the president to the sub-district head must understand good behavior. So it is called to understand the principles of good governance, one of which is (ethics, ed)," he explained.
According to the senior PDIP politician, the Minister of Home Affairs, Tito, who oversees the regional head, should have warned Regent Amon to behave firmly but still politely. Because behavior that seems rude to regional leaders can be categorized as a violation.
"I think there should be a warning so that it doesn't happen to other officials. Because the Regional Government Law regulates which sanctions are also imposed," said Junimart.
"A small example, for example regional head officials leaving the city without permission. For example from Palembang to Jakarta without permission from the ministry, then that is already a deviation and violation," he continued.

Still in the viral video, Amon alleges that there is a political element in the distribution of PKH assistance through the DPRD. He said that Risma did not know the technicalities of handling aid to the lower classes.
"Don't use politics like that, she (Risma) doesn't know the process of assisting the pattern of handling, the technical handling of this assistance has reached the bottom. Her mouth is faster than her mind, what kind of official model is that, what model of minister is that," said Amon, quipping Risma. in the viral video quoted Wednesday, June 2.
Amon continues to harass 2 Ministry of Social employees regarding PKH assistance. He even asked the 2 employees to immediately leave Alor.
"Is PKH the DPR that takes care of it? Tomorrow you go home, tomorrow I will write a letter to the President, he (Risma) thinks he is great," he said in a high tone.
In the midst of his anger in the video, Amon admitted that there was no problem if he later reported it to President Joko Widodo (Jokowi).
