BOGOR - DPRD Bogor City highlighted the neutrality of state civil servants (ASN) and non-ASN in the 2024 Bogor Pilwalkot. Especially with the presence of incumbent candidates and candidates from the former head of service.

Member of Commission I of the Bogor City DPRD, Anna Mariam Fadhilah, emphasized that the Bogor City DPRD will contribute to maintaining the conduciveness of the implementation of the Bogor City Pilkada.

"We are ready to maintain the conduciveness of the Pilkada, so that as an institution we are also supportive in terms of budget and in terms of supervision," said Anna, in her statement, Sunday, November 3.

Anna emphasized that the supervision of ASN neutrality in the Pilkada campaign has been in the spotlight of Commission I of the Bogor City DPRD. The issue is always discussed in a working meeting held by Commission I of the Bogor City DPRD with working partners and KPU and Bawaslu.

Not only that, Anna hopes that non-ASN government employees such as BUMD employees, other institutions and agencies can also maintain neutrality and do not show direct partiality or through social media.

"Indeed, it is not only ASN but employees under the Bogor City Government, it is clear that all of them are the same rules. They cannot side with certain pairs of candidates, yes. We at the DPRD will monitor this when we find cases in the field, we will report to be prosecuted," said Anna.

Anna also hopes that the participation rate for the 2024 Pilkada can increase. This can certainly be done by improving the system for the use of the right to vote for patients in hospitals based on the results of the evaluation of the 2024 Legislative and Presidential Elections.

According to Anna, it would be nice if the patients being treated at the hospital could be facilitated to choose at the nearest TPS by being visited by PPS officers from the nearest TPS from the hospital. So they don't lose their voting rights.

This certainly provides flexibility in terms of administration but still maintains the validity of the voice.

"So indeed we hope that the participation rate can increase by ensuring that the voting rights of the patients in the hospital can be facilitated. So this needs attention from the KPU so that the patients do not lose their voting rights," he concluded.
