JAKARTA - Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono recruited governor policy analysis personnel taken from non-civil servants with a salary of Rp. 19.65 million per month.

Secretary of the PKS faction of the DKI Jakarta DPRD Muhammad Taufik Zoelkifli views Heru's actions as the same as Anies Baswedan who recruited the Governor's Team for the Acceleration of Development (TGUPP) while serving as Governor of DKI.

In fact, at the beginning of his tenure, Heru emphasized that he would not recruit TGUPP to help him work to lead Jakarta and would use the personnel of the DKI Provincial Civil Servants.

"This is the same as the Acting Governor having a team of experts such as TGUPP in the previous governor's era (Anies), only different names. To accelerate development in Jakarta, there must be a good policy analysis first," said Taufik in a short message, Tuesday, December 13.

According to Taufik, with this recruitment, Heru did not want to appoint a non-civil servant under the name TGUPP. That's why Heru prefers to use the name of the governor's policy analysis personnel.

"When the TGUPP is removed, the new acting party will find it difficult to work, finally making up new rules whose functions are similar to TGUPP," said Taufik.

For information, Heru issued Governor's Decree Number 1155 of 2022 concerning the Honorarium Cost Unit for Non-State Civil Apparatus Employees Supporting the Activities of the Governor/Deputy Governor.

In this gubernatorial decree, Heru added the position of non-ASN personnel, namely policy analysis personnel with a cost unit of Rp. 19.65 million to help carry out strategic policy analysis.

In addition, Heru also increased the salary of experts supporting the activities of the Governor/Deputy Governor of non-PNS from previously determined by Anies Baswedan while serving as Governor of DKI by Rp. 8.2 million per month to Rp. 9.4 million. Supporters for governor's activities are employed to help more technical matters such as drafting remarks or speeches, protocol activities, or others.
