JAKARTA - The hard work and long struggle of dozens of ASN to be able to sit as echelon I in the Ministry of Empowerment of State Apparatus-Bureaucratic Reform has run aground. They failed because it was detected that their partner liked to see the social media accounts of radical and terrorist figures.

This was revealed by MenPAN-RB Tjahjo Kumolo in the National Seminar on Bureaucratic Reform to Improve the Implementation of Bureaucratic Reform in Regional Governments through the Commitment of Provincial and Regency/City Government Leaders which was held on Wednesday, November 1. He said, there were 16 echelon I candidates who failed because their wives and husbands opened social media accounts of figures affiliated with radical and terrorism understandings.

"In the PPA trial, there were almost 16 candidates for echelon I who were already great, professors, doctors starting from the bottom up, joining the TPA failed to become echelon I because of the behavior of his wife or husband," said Tjahjo as shown on YouTube by the Coordinating Ministry for Political, Legal and Security Affairs, quoted from Antara.

"His wife works at night to open social media for radical figures, terrorist figures. Failed," he continued.

Tjahjo ensured that this assessment was not based on assumptions or accusations alone. All evidence of the application, the track record of the media in the device is well recorded. Tjahjo also ensured that this attitude was taken because the notion of terrorism and radicalism is a threat to the nation. Thus, a firm stance must be taken.

"Anyway, what smells like terrorism, radicalism is a threat to the nation. We must dare to be alert, who are friends, who are enemies. It is individuals, groups, and groups who openly or secretly spread the problem of terrorist radicalism," he explained.

"Including Echelon II, Echelon I, his family who smelled this, or liked to open social media, were dropped. Due to application evidence, all media track records on their cellphones can be recorded properly," added Tjahjo.

Furthermore, he also revealed that the KemenPAN-RB often issues State Civil Apparatus Decrees to terminate those exposed to radicalism and terrorism. However, Tjahjo did not mention the number.

"Almost every month we issue ASN decrees that we stop because they are exposed to terrorism radicalism," he concluded.
