The selection of honorary employees is limited to requiring a number of administrative documents and competency or skill tests.

So, purely administrative completeness and special certificates are what we require. Then, there is an assessment process that conducts competency tests depending on the position," said Glen at the DKI Jakarta DPRD building, Tuesday, July 26.

After the meeting, the Chairperson of Commission D of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Ida Mahmudah, confirmed that her members proposed psychological tests in the recruitment process for PJLP. However, Ida emphasized that the DKI Provincial Government must also prepare an additional budget for the psychological test of the PJLP candidate.

"Indeed, the person's character will be seen during the psychological test. However, we really have to prepare the budget. It's not bad, right. We have nearly 130 thousand PJLP. We'll let Bappeda calculate how much they need. This is a proposal from us," said Ida.
