Deceased Officials Included In Inauguration Decree, North Sumatra BKD Head Admitted Negligence

MEDAN - Head of the Regional Personnel Agency (BKD) of North Sumatra Province, Safruddin, admitted he was negligent regarding the problems in inaugurating state civil servants (ASN) who had passed away.

The reason is, in the inauguration, there were names of state civil servants who had died included in the inaugurated decree, the ASN was named Edison Hutasoit.

Edison Hutasoit was appointed as Head of the Water Resources and Human Settlements Section of the UPTD Public Works and Spatial Planning of the Tarutung Public Works and Spatial Planning Office of North Sumatra Province.

Safruddin said that there was a data error because the BKD appointed employees based on the data registered in the personnel system application. In this system, the person concerned is still registered as an active employee.

"All the officials who were present at the structure were confirmed, checked at the sinpeg of the staffing data application, and it turns out that the person concerned is still active. This should be updated regarding data updates," he said as reported by ANTARA, Thursday, February 23.

Safruddin said that his party was making improvements to the data. He said that it did not affect hundreds of other ASNs being sworn in along with ASNs who had died.

"So whatever the story is, it's my negligence, and we'll fix it soon, there's no such problem. For example, he confirmed last night that no one was harmed, all that's left is to correct the Decree, this will be corrected soon," he said.
