JAKARTA - The Bandung City Government (Pemkot) formed a special team to monitor the neutrality of the state civil apparatus (ASN) ahead of the 2024 Pilkada.
Bandung Mayor (Walkot) Bambang Tirtoyuliono said the formation of this team was to ensure that ASN remained neutral and not involved in practical political activities that could affect the course of the election.
"The city government has formed a special team to provide assistance, guidance, and also supervision and control on ASN neutrality," said Bambang in Bandung, Monday, July 29, as quoted by Antara.
Bambang emphasized the importance of maintaining the neutrality of ASN so that there is no abuse of authority and position that can injure the democratic process.
"I ask that there be no affiliation with any political entity. Avoid practical politics. It is a consequence of us as ASN," he said.

Bambang emphasized that if there are ASNs who take actions that are prohibited in the pilkada stage, they can be subject to sanctions in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.
There will be light, moderate, and severe sanctions. The lightest is verbal reprimands, what will moderate sanctions be and severe sanctions up to dismissal," he said.
The warning, he said, was in the hope that violations of election crimes involving ASN would not occur in the 2024 simultaneous regional elections.
