There were reports of allegations of illegal levies (extortion) from the plan to open the recruitment of firefighters in Jakarta. Responding to this, DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung denied this.
"That's not true. There is no (extortion). I guarantee that it doesn't exist," said Pramono at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Tuesday, August 5.
Pramono admitted that he did provide flexibility to the DKI Jakarta Fire and Rescue Service (Gulkarmat) to carry out the selection process.
Where, the DKI Provincial Government will soon open the recruitment of 1,000 firefighters in this year's formation.
However, Pramono emphasized that the process was transparent because registration was done online.
"If the position of the fire department is fully held in the fire department (Dinas Gulkarmat) and because the performance of the firefighters is very good. I frankly give full trust to the firefighters," explained Pramono.
"But later, the finalization will be transparent for governors, deputy governors, to see and be involved in it," he added.
When the recruitment process opens later, Pramono mentions that residents outside Jakarta are allowed to register as firefighters. Because, he sees many residents from outside who still depend on their fate in Jakarta.
"Indeed, as part of an open city, people hope to be able to depend on the fate of workers in Jakarta. For that, I will still run it openly even though later this will become a burden for the city of Jakarta," said Pramono.
Pramono said that the openness of residents outside the region to register as DKI firefighters was carried out based on the recruitment process for public infrastructure and facilities handling officers (PPSU).
Where, many residents with ID cards outside Jakarta register as PPSU officers, even though the residents of Jakarta remain a priority to be selected.
Pramono acknowledged that this phenomenon was caused by the high need for jobs.
"I really have to admit what it is, right now, there are many openings. There are a lot of them who register and on average they are not Jakarta residents, because their ID cards are seen," said Pramono.
