JAKARTA - Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta, Ahmad Riza Patria, has invited the DKI DPRD to form a special committee to investigate the problem of 239 DKI Jakarta ASNs refusing to participate in the selection for echelon II positions.

"The special committee, (rights) to questionnaires, and others are the authority of the DPRD," said Riza at the City Hall of DKI, Central Jakarta, Thursday, May 27.

However, Riza considered it better if the DPRD conducted a study and determined a solid basis before forming a special committee to be filled by council members.

"We'll wait for the studies, what are the bases, what are the pros and cons of forming a special committee, and what are the objectives, we'll wait for DPRD friends," he said.

Previously, the Chairperson of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Prasetio Edi Marsudi, said that the members of the council would form a special committee (special committee) to investigate the problems of hundreds of ASN DKI who did not want to participate in the selection bid for echelon II positions.

"We will form a special committee to solve the problem of ASNs who are reluctant to participate in this rejuvenation of positions," said Prasetio.

Prasetio said that the DPRD special committee would later summon 239 ASNs who refused to register in the open selection for the senior leadership positions of the Pratama. They, said Prasetio, will be asked to explain the reasons why they do not want to participate in the selection.

Then, the special committee will also summon experts and experts from related agencies such as from the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri), Kemenpan RB, KSAN, BKN, Korpri, including academics.

"We will ask their opinion on how the government bureaucratic management system and its human resources (HR) should be. So, we can get a complete picture, not half-heartedly," said Prasetio.

Prasetio views that this problem cannot be ignored because the lack of interest in ASNs to take up positions affects public services to the community and government performance.

Given that there are still many strategic positions that have not been filled by definitive officials because previously many heads of offices and heads of agencies resigned.

"ASNs are state servants, they are obliged to work professionally and have a rigid career in accordance with the law. Moreover, ASN salaries in Jakarta have the highest national level. So, it is strange if they refuse to have a career," explained Pras, his nickname.

"This is a serious problem, there has been no case (ASN refuses to take part in rejuvenation) in Jakarta, even in Indonesia like this. ASN is obliged to carry out its duties when assigned anywhere. Our bureaucracy also implements a meritocracy system," he added.
