JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan confirmed the alleged sexual harassment by the inactive Head of the Jakarta Goods and Services Procurement Agency (BPPBJ), Blessmiyanda, to his employees.

Currently, Bless is undergoing an inspection at the DKI Inspectorate. In response to this, Blessmiyanda was reluctant to comment. In fact, previously he confirmed that the examinations that were carried out were related to his performance.

"The governor has already given a statement, yes (I) have no comment," Bless said when contacted, Monday, March 29.

Bless admitted that he would comment if the results of the inspection at the DKI Inspectorate had been completed. He respects Anies's decision to want the alleged sexual harassment case to be investigated completely.

"If I talk now, the impression is to defend myself and precede the results of the examination," he said.

Previously, the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan finally admitted that Blessmiyanda had allegedly committed harassment to a civil servant in the BPPBJ DKI ranks.

Through a written statement, Anies said that this case was the basis for his decision to temporarily suspend Bless from his position. Currently, Bless is being examined by the DKI Inspectorate.

"We are doing the deactivation of the Head of BPPBJ to ensure that the inspection and investigation process can be carried out by the Inspectorate of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government quickly, thoroughly and fairly for all parties involved," said Anies.

Anies also appointed the Regional Secretariat Government Assistant, Sigit Wijatmoko, to be the Acting Task Force (Plt) Head of BPBJ for DKI Jakarta Province.

Anies stated that he would impose strict sanctions on all levels of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government for covering up cases of alleged sexual harassment, including Blessmiyanda.

"If in the examination it is found that there was a violation, then the reported party and all those who cover up the facts during the examination process will be given strict sanctions in accordance with the applicable regulations," said Anies.
