REJANG LEBONG - The Rejang Lebong Regency Government, Bengkulu Province, has imposed sanctions on regional apparatus organizations (OPD) that do not meet the local revenue target (PAD) in the form of additional deductions in employee income (TPP).

Head of the Rejang Lebong Regional Financial Management Agency (BPKD) Andy Ferdian said the local government is targeting PAD of IDR 93 billion by 2025, higher than the target of IDR 76 billion by 2024.

"Punishment or sanctions for OPDs that have not succeeded in achieving the PAD target until the first semester of 2025 have already been implemented, in the form of a 10 percent reduction in TPP," Andy said when contacted in Rejang Lebong, Antara, Wednesday, August 13.

These sanctions are given to six OPDs that do not meet the target. TPP cuts apply to all state civil servants (ASN) in the OPD, from staff to service heads, starting from July 2025.

The six OPDs include BPKD Rejang Lebong, Regional Secretariat Rejang Lebong, Tourism Office, Agriculture and Fisheries Service, Youth and Sports Service, and Rejang Lebong Hospital.

One OPD that was not achieved, punishment applies to all ASN in the OPD. All ASN must play an active role in achieving the set target," Andy said.

Previously, Rejang Lebong Regent Muhammad Fikri had issued Circular Letter Number 900/035/BPKD/2025 concerning cutting ASN TPP if the PAD target was not achieved. In this regulation, TPP cuts are applied in stages according to the level of reprimand, ranging from 10 percent in the first warning to 40 percent in the fourth warning.
