JAKARTA - Member of Commission A of the DKI Jakarta DPRD from the PDIP faction, Gembong Warsono, responded to the statement from the subordinates of the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Anies Baswedan, who asserted that there were no reports of cases of buying and selling ASN positions in the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government.

This issue was originally raised by Gembong in a meeting of Commission A DPRD DKI Jakarta with the ranks of the DKI Provincial Government some time ago.

The claim that there is no report on the trade in this position is considered normal by the kingpin. Because, Gembong assesses that the people involved and paying money to improve their positions are unlikely to expose their own disgrace.

"When it comes to buying and selling positions, which one dares to speak up? It's just that there are, but they don't make a sound. If my language is a joke, it's like farting. said Gembong when contacted, Thursday, August 25.

Gembong claimed that the report on the practice of buying and selling ASN positions had also been received by the PDIP faction, both from DKI Provincial Government employees who were victims of job withdrawals and complaints from the general public.

Therefore, if the DKI Provincial Government has not received a report, Gembong said that the DKI Jakarta Inspectorate should immediately investigate the truth.

"So, when there is such information, the Inspectorate should conduct a search on the information that we conveyed in an official working meeting some time ago. These are rumors that have been getting louder lately (Anies' tenure)," he said.

Previously, the Head of the DKI Jakarta Regional Personnel Agency (BKD) Maria Qibtya responded to the issue regarding the sale and purchase of ASN positions in the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government. Maria claims that until now there has never been a report from her staff regarding the news.

"No one has ever reported being harmed, no one has ever reported being asked for money in the context of this (appointment). No. If there is, we will definitely follow up," said Maria.

The issue of buying and selling the positions of lurah to sub-district head was previously raised by the chairman of the PDIP faction of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Gembong Warsono. Gembong gave an example, for the position of sub-section head to become section head in the same echelon, the price is Rp. 60 million. Then, the lurah position costs up to Rp. 100 million while the sub-district position is pegged at Rp. 200 million to Rp. 250 million.

Feeling that she had never received a report regarding the news, Maria asked Gembong to prove that there was indeed a position that was traded.

"People don't have reports, so I don't know and I actually need proof. So, if there is news like that, just prove it, if it's proven and (the sale and purchase of positions) the person is there," said Maria.
