Acting Regent (Plt) Bone Bolango Merlan S Uloli (ANTARA)

BONE BOLANGO - Acting Regent Bone Bolango Merlan S Uloli said his party was still waiting for regulations from the central government regarding the policy of increasing the salaries of State Civil Apparatus (ASN) by eight percent starting January 2024. "This year's ASN salary increase is definitely in accordance with the stipulation in the 2024 State Revenue and Expenditure Budget Law (APBN), but its implementation is still waiting for Government Regulations (PP)," Merlan said in Gorontalo, Antara, Friday, December 5. He said that ASN salary payments in January 2024 still use the basic salary in December 2023. "ASN will receive an eight percent salary increase later, after PP is issued," said Merlan. Meanwhile, the change in the application for regional financial management from the Financial Management Information System (FMIS) application to the Government Information System of the Republic of Indonesia (SIPD-RI), which the Ministry of Home Affairs has implemented in 2024, has turned out to be a big challenge for Financial Management Agencys throughout Indonesia, including the Bone Bolango Regency Government. Head of the Regional Finance and Revenue Agency (BKPD) Bone Bolango Iwan Mustapa said one of the challenges was related to paying ASN salaries in January 2024 which could not be done on time every early month. This condition, he said, occurs in almost all regions nationally. However, on Thursday (4/1/) the Bone Bolango Regency Government began to be able to gradually pay ASN salaries in January 2024.

Iwan explained why this month's ASN salary will be paid gradually, because the salary payment also depends on the readiness and presentation of the data that will be included by each OPD. With a note that there are no system problems, for example system or server errors that are slow in the process or system complaints services at the Ministry of Home Affairs are slow.
