JAKARTA - The Minister of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform (Menpan RB) Tjahjo Kumolo emphasized that the state civil apparatus (ASN) must be professional and upright with the legitimate government.

He reminded ASN to be careful in areas prone to corruption, pay close attention to those relating to buying and selling positions, relating to permits, relating to budget planning, grant funds, and social assistance funds.

"Then we have to be careful about drugs. If there is an ASN who uses drugs, he goes straight to non-job and rehabilitating. If he is a user and a dealer, he will be fired. Likewise, if he is OTT for corruption and there is permanent legal force, he will be dismissed," continued the PDI-P politician. as quoted from Antara.

Tjahjo Kumolo also reminded ASN not to get involved in terrorism. He said identifying the terrorists from the ASN could not be completed in a day or two.
