SOLO - The City Government (Pemkot) of Solo cut allowances or additional income for civil servants (TPP) by 30 percent. This decision was taken to cover the COVID-19 budget deficit of Rp92 billion.
Solo Mayor Gibran Rakabuming Raka said this allowance cut was made because Solo was facing difficult times due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
"Hopefully it's not too burdensome, but again, this is an emergency period, not as usual. This is an emergency period," explained Gibran in Solo, Monday, August 2.
Gibran admits that long before this policy came into effect, he had allocated a certain percentage of his salary to help residents.
"Well, what's my salary ta nggo (what do I use my salary for), sis? My salary is ta nggo tuku (I use it to buy) rice, help. I'm not the mayor to make money, "explained Gibran.
The policy of cutting the TPP for Solo civil servants was conveyed by Gibran during the Plenary Meeting of the Raperda on the Changes to the 2021 Solo APBD in Solo on Tuesday, 27 July. The chairman of the Solo DPRD, Budi Prasetyo, said in the meeting it was agreed that the amount of the TPP PNS budget would be cut.
In addition to TPP PNS, Solo City Government activities were also cut. For example, business travel activities, physical to eat and drink.
"This is indeed for the whole until the end of the year for the reduction. So there is a total adjustment of Rp. 19 billion," said Budi. Regarding this deduction, the amount will be differentiated according to the civil servant group.
