JAKARTA - The mayor of Medan, North Sumatra, Bobby Afif Nasution immediately paid the incentive arrears for health workers (health workers) who were in arrears for months during the era of Akhyar Nasution's leadership. Bobby Nasution's quick decision was appreciated.
"Not more than a week after being inaugurated as Mayor of Medan, I immediately signed a Perwal regarding the elaboration of the incentive budget for health workers to be paid," said Bobby Nasution, Monday, March 15.
Bobby Nasution emphasized that the Medan City Government has asked the Health Office as well as the Regional Financial and Asset Management Agency to immediately process the search for incentive funds for health workers.
"However, during the incentive payment process a few days ago, I found data that was out of sync, namely that there were 28 health workers who had the same account number with different names," said President Jokowi's son-in-law.
As a result, continued Bobby Nasution, the money that had been sent had to be withdrawn so as not to cause confusion.
"God willing, today the problem can be resolved and all payments can be processed," said Bobby Nasution.
Bobby apologized for the late payment of incentives for health workers by the Medan City Government.
"Even so, I apologize for the late payment of incentives for health workers at the Pirngadi Hospital and Public Health Center in Medan that occurred before I took office," he said.
Previously, a number of health workers held a demonstration at the Pirngadi Hospital in Medan City on Wednesday, February 10, demanding that the hospital management immediately pay off the COVID-19 incentives that have not been paid since May 2020.
