JAKARTA - Chairman of the PDIP faction of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Gembong Warsono, explained that there was a practice of buying and selling ASN positions within the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government during the leadership of DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan.

"At the end of the governor's term, I heard many problems with our ASN in the sale and purchase of placements. How many individuals have I found," said Gembong to reporters, Wednesday, August 24.

Gembong said the traded positions were in various positions, ranging from the village head, the section head of the regional work unit (SKPD), to the sub-district head.

He gave an example, the position of shifting positions from sub-section head to section head in the same echelon is priced at Rp. 60 million. Then, the position of the lurah costs up to Rp. 100 million. Meanwhile, the sub-district office is worth Rp. 200 million to Rp. 250 million.

This member of Commission A of the DKI DPRD admitted that it was an open secret that the sale and purchase of positions to government employees had been going on for a long time. However, according to him, this practice became more widespread during Anies' tenure as DKI Governor.

"Nowadays there are more and more because now there are more who interfere. This means, Anies has so many teams. So, it is these hands that sometimes interfere with the SKPD," said Gembong.

Therefore, Gembong urged the Kebon Sirih parliament to form a special committee (pansus) for personnel. He hopes that the leadership of Commission A and the leadership of the DPRD will approve the formation of a special committee to dismantle the practice of buying and selling positions.

"My proposal is to form a committee. If the special committee is formed, everything will be revealed (the sale and purchase of ASN positions in the DKI Provincial Government)," he concluded.
