SAMPIT - East Kotawaringin (Kotim) Regent, Central Kalimantan Halikinnor prohibits state civil servants (ASN) from using official vehicles for Eid homecoming. I hope that the ASN will follow the applicable provisions and in accordance with the provisions that official vehicles are not used for Eid homecoming, said Halikinnor quoted by ANTARA, Sunday, April 7. This year's Eid momentum ASN gets a long holiday. If in total with joint leave and regular holiday weekends, then ASN gets a total holiday of 10 days, from 6-15 April 2024. This opportunity allows ASN to go home outside the region. Local governments also invite ASN to take advantage of holidays as well as possible. However, ASN is prohibited from using official vehicles for Eid homecoming. Use of official vehicles for Eid homecoming is contrary to Government Regulation (PP) Number 94 of 2021 concerning ASN discipline. Service vehicles, both cars and motorbikes, with red number plates, are part of ASN attributes whose purpose is only for business needs or activities, not personal interests. Meanwhile, going home is clearly not an official activity. ASN that misuses official vehicles, then it can be subject to disciplinary sanctions according to the above regulations. Moreover, if operational service vehicles are lost or subject to damage because they are used outside of official interest, it must be replaced by ASN given mandates or official vehicle facilities. If there are violations, of course there will be sanctions as regulated in ASN disciplinary regulations,''. On the other hand, he also reminded ASN within the Kotim Regency Government not to add to the holiday after Eid leave. For ASNs who do not comply with the provisions of the working day and are declared not present without information, then they will be followed up in accordance with PP No. 94 of 2021.

ASN concerned can be subject to sanctions according to the level of violations committed. Starting from verbal, written warnings, statements of dissatisfaction, and the most severe thing is that dismissal with respect is not at your own request. He appealed to all ASN to continue to improve professionalism in their work. By following the applicable provisions and carrying out their duties as well as possible.
