ILLUSTRATION BETWEEN

JAKARTA - A total of 8 echelon II positions within the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government are still vacant for the last two months. This is due to the massive transfer of positions carried out by the Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono in March.

This mutation does not fill all positions and leaves 7 positions of the head of the office to the head of the agency who has not been filled. Then, another position has not been filled since last August 2022.

The DKI Provincial Government has also conducted an open selection for the eight positions. Head of the DKI Jakarta Regional Personnel Agency (BKD) Maria Qibtya revealed that the auction process for this position had actually been completed.

However, the DKI Provincial Government is still waiting for the recommendation of the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) before it is appointed and inaugurated.

"(The vacant position of echelon II) is still waiting for the Ministry of Home Affairs' recommendation. If it exists, it will be announced," Maria said in a short message, Thursday, May 11.

For information, Heru Budi Hartono reshuffled 20 officials within the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government. Heru revealed the reason he installed 20 DKI Provincial Government officials at the same time.

The reason is quite general, namely the refreshment of regional work units (SKPD) within the DKI Provincial Government.

"Rotations are normal, refreshing, and of course those we choose are professionals who already understand the situation in Jakarta," said Heru, Tuesday, March 21.

As a result of this rotation, as many as 7 echelon II positions were vacant and were only filled by acting (plt). Among them are the Secretary of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Head of the DKI Jakarta Health Office, Head of the DKI Jakarta Highways Agency.

Head of the DKI Jakarta Public Housing and Settlement Area Agency, Head of the DKI Jakarta Education Office, Head of the DKI Jakarta Goods and Services Procurement Agency, and Head of the DKI Jakarta Legal Bureau.

Then, there is one position, namely the Head of the DKI Communication, Information and Statistics Agency (Kominfotik) which has been vacant since August 2022.

Heru promised to immediately conduct an open auction process for positions that now do not have definitive officials due to the reshuffle. The target is that the position will be filled in the next two months.

"Yes, it's being bided (open auction). It's not until two months (positions) are filled," he said.
