KALTIM - Regional Secretary (Sekda) of the Kutai Kartanegara (Kukar) Regency, East Kalimantan, Sunggono reminded the state civil apparatus (ASN) to be neutral in the 2024 election.

"I continue to remind ASN of the Kukar Regency Government to be neutral in the democratic party which will be held in 2024," he said in Tenggarong, Antara, Friday, June 17 during the ASN Neutrality Socialization.

This event was held by the Kukar Bawaslu and the Kukar Personnel and Human Resources Development Agency (BKPSDM) on the second floor of the Regent's Office.

He emphasized that it was the government's duty to remind ASN to remain neutral in the regional elections, presidential elections, legislative elections, and village elections.

Sunggono explained that ASN when appointed had made an oath and promise as ASN and they were required to always be neutral and avoid conflicts or conflicts of interest.

The position of ASN as a public servant and executor of the government, he said, could not be separated from the public spotlight because it was able to mobilize the socio-political potential that existed in their respective environments.

"An ASN must be free from any form of influence and not take sides with anyone's interests. The government bureaucracy will be strong if the ASN is neutral from all forms of interest and influence," he said.

He hoped that during the 2024 General Election, there would be no more ASNs who would receive disciplinary sanctions because they were declared non-neutral.

Meanwhile, the Head of the BKPSDM of the Kukar Regency Government, Rakhmadi, revealed that the purpose of the socialization was to provide an understanding of the importance of ASN neutrality, especially ASN in the Kukar Regency Government and to understand the meaning of neutrality.

He said that ASN must be neutral as regulated in Law Number 5 of 2014 concerning ASN which states that ASN plays a role as planner, implementer, and supervisor of development through the implementation of professional public services, free of political intervention, and clean of KKN.
