The Supreme Audit Agency Findings: Anies Still Pays Employees Who Passed Away And Who Retired, Worth IDR 862 Million

JAKARTA - The Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) has found that DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan is still paying the salaries of employees who have died and who have retired of IDR 862 million in the 2020 DKI Regional Budget.

This was conveyed through a report on the results of the examination of the 2020 DKI Provincial Government financial statements which were approved by the Head of DKI BPK Pemut Aryo Wibowo.

"The overpayment of salaries and regional performance allowances (TKD) or TPP of IDR 862.783.587 for 103 employees in 19 regional apparatus organizations (OPD)", Pemut said in a report quoted Thursday, August 5.

Pemut explained the details of the overpayment of salaries and TKD/TPP of DKI civil servants. First, there is one employee retiring as of January 1, 2020, but still receiving a salary of IDR 6.3 million.

Second, there are employees who retire at their own request as many as 12 people from 6 OPD. This retired employee still receives a total salary of IDR 154.9 million.

Third, there are 57 DKI employees in 7 OPDs who have died but are still receiving salaries and TKD/TPP. The nominal paid for the salary of the deceased employee is IDR 352.9 million.

Fourth, there are 31 employees from 8 OPD who carry out learning tasks but still receive TKD/TPP. The TKD/TPP given to employees who carry out the learning tasks is totaling IDR 344.6 million.

Fifth, there are 2 employees who are subject to disciplinary punishment in the form of cutting their TKD/TPP by 20 percent for two months, but they still receive the full TKD/TPP. The non-deductible TKD/TPP for the disciplinary punishment caused an overpayment of IDR 3.9 million.

Pemut said that a number of OPDs had returned the overpayment of salaries and TKD/TPP to the regional treasury, but only IDR 200.9 million.

"So, there is still an overpayment of salaries and TKD/TPP worth IDR 661.801.780", he said.

Pemut views that there is an overpayment of salaries and TKD/TPP on employees who should no longer receive it because the officials of each OPD do not periodically verify the payroll for each employee. Therefore, Pemut said that the BPK recommended improvements.
