JAKARTA - Member of Commission A of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Purwanto asked the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government to make BPJS Employment for the heads of the community associations (RW), the Community Early Awareness Forum (FKDM), and the Village-level Deliberation Institution (LMK).

Purwanto said that environmental workers under the auspices of the DKI Provincial Government need to get BPJS Employment guarantees as a form of appreciation given by the government.

"It's good if it turns out that BPJS Employment has been pursued. We support and sit together to discuss how this year FKDM, next year LMK and then RW," said Purwanto in his statement, Monday, May 23.

Purwanto said that BPJS Employment participation for these three groups could be budgeted for through the contribution assistance program (PBI) from the Health Office. Remember, the honorary money they get is not much.

"So far, their work is monitoring 24 hours. (BPJS Ketenagakerjaan) is a form of appreciation apart from the honorarium," said Purwanto.

Responding to this, the Jakarta Secretariat Government Assistant, Sigit Wijatmoko, said that the scope of BPJS Employment recipients had indeed been regulated in Presidential Instruction number 2 of 2021 concerning Optimizing the Implementation of the Employment Social Security Program.

In addition to the participation requirements, the Presidential Instruction also regulates funding through the APBN/APBD. Therefore, the DKI Provincial Government will still conduct a study to cover BPJS Employment for workers under the auspices of the DKI Provincial Government.

"The scope of work has been expanded and as an illustration, West Java is covered by the APBD. This is what we need to study in DKI," said Sigit.
