JAKARTA - Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono advised his subordinates, especially echelon III and IV ASN officials not to make online loans (pinjol).

This was revealed by Heru after inaugurating hundreds of echelon III and echelon IV officials in the positions of administrators and supervisors within the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government.

"Don't play with pinjol, yes. There is one in Kelapa Gading Barat Village," said Heru at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Wednesday, October 4.

Heru brought up the case of a sectional head in Kelapa Gading Barat Village who forced a number of PPSU officers to owe him a loan application for him.

This borrowing sanction has been carried out since January 2022. Based on the confession of a PPSU who was the victim, the loan was immediately handed over to his superior after being disbursed.

Heru admitted that he was surprised why a village official still needed money to force PPSU to borrow money. In fact, the ASN performance allowance (tukin) obtained could reach tens of millions of rupiah.

"What's the lack? I don't know the head of the sub-district section, how much did he get? IDR 25 million? I've been playing online. How? It's still not going on," said Heru.

In addition, Heru also instructed the village heads in Jakarta to ensure that all stunted children receive treatment.

"I don't want to be in the area, gentlemen (district), there are no stunted children who are not registered. Register the stunted children. Then (the disease) TB, register it with the puskesmas, to the health office. We will take care of it," he said.
