JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has recorded 100 thousand residents have registered for the new labor-intensive program. In fact, the available quota is only 2,843 vacancies spread across 37 types of jobs.
Head of the DKI Jakarta Communication, Informatics, and Statistics Office (Diskominfotik) Marulina Dewi said the first phase registration process is still ongoing until June 25, 2026.
"So for Padat Karya, 37 job vacancies have been opened and as of today there are 100,000 applicants," said Dewi at the National Monument (Monas) area, Central Jakarta, Sunday, June 21.
The DKI Provincial Government will close the registration for the first session on June 25 and announce the results of the selection two days later.
"We will close on June 25 for the first session and announce the date on June 27. On June 27, there will also be a second session," he said.
The high number of applicants compared to the available quota has raised concerns among the public regarding the potential for proxy practices or insider games in the recruitment process.
In response to this, the Governor of DKI Jakarta Pramono Anung emphasized that the selection would be carried out openly and transparently. He asked that the entire process be guarded because it was a public concern.
"So for Padat Karya, once again the number is 2,843. And the concern for 'insider' is playing around, I have conveyed to Ms. Dewi, transparent, open, because this is guarded and awaited by the people of Jakarta," said Pramono.
Pramono explained that this program is one of the local government's efforts to absorb labor while providing temporary income for residents who are not working.
"Why is this done? To create a social cushion. Because then the world economy is really under pressure now. It's getting harder," he said.
It is known that the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has opened 2,843 job vacancies for the Jakarta KTP program. The vacancies are spread across a number of Regional Working Units (SKPD) with a working period ranging from 41 days to three months.
