JAKARTA - MPR Chairman Bambang Soesatyo or Bamsoet asked the Ministry of Administrative Reform and Bureaucratic Reform (KemenPAN-RB) to explain in detail the circular letter regarding the elimination of honorary workers which is planned to be carried out in 2023.

"I also ask the PAN-RB Ministry to provide alternative solutions for employees outside the status of Civil Servants (PNS) and Government Employees with Work Agreements (PPPK) in each agency, so that they can still work, because there are still many agencies that employ employees outside the country. PNS and PPPK status to meet the workload in each agency," said Bamsoet in a written statement, quoted from Antara, Friday, June 3.

He asked the PAN-RB Ministry not to immediately remove the status of honorary workers, especially now that many people are in need of work.

In addition, according to him, it is currently known that the government does not open the 2022 Civil Servant Candidate (CPNS) selection, but only recruits PPPK so that the opportunity for employees with non-State Civil Apparatus/ASN status to become ASN is increasingly limited.

"The MPR has asked the government to gradually terminate this employment relationship through mapping the number of honorary employees and the needs of employees in each agency," he said.

Bamsoet said the government must think about the fate of honorary employees in each agency who have served for a long time and work well in their respective agencies.

Therefore, he hopes that the government can wisely provide solutions for the fate of non-ASN employees who are qualified and have a good contribution to the achievement and performance targets in their respective agencies.

In addition, he asked the PAN-RB Ministry to encourage the leadership of each agency to map non-ASN employees in their agencies and accompany them to participate or be given the opportunity to take part in the selection of PNS and PPPK candidates.

Previously, the Minister for Administrative Reform and Bureaucratic Reform (PAN-RB) Tjahjo Kumolo appealed to government agency Personnel Development Officials (PPK) to determine the employment status of non-ASN employees (non-PNS, non-PPPK, and ex-Honorary Personnel Category II). ) no later than November 28, 2023.

This is stated in the letter of the Minister of PANRB No. B/185/M.SM.02.03/2022 concerning Employment Status in Central Government Agencies and Local Governments. Tjahjo's statement was quoted on the official website of the PAN-RB Ministry.

Tjahjo hopes that PPK will take strategic steps to resolve non-ASN employees who do not meet the requirements or do not pass the selection of prospective civil servants and government employees with a work agreement (PPPK) in accordance with the provisions of the legislation before the deadline of November 28, 2023.

Appointment of employees through the pattern of outsourcing or "outsourcing" as needed is expected to be carried out taking into account finances and in accordance with the characteristics of each Ministry/Institution/Region (K/L/D).

"So PPK at K/L/D can still employ 'outsourcing' according to their needs, not be removed immediately," said Tjahjo.

Government agencies that also need other personnel such as drivers, cleaners, and security units can be done through outsourcing by a third party.

Minister Tjahjo said the government paid special attention to the completion and handling of honorary staff who have served in government agencies. According to him, this step was carried out in line with the implementation of bureaucratic reform, especially the arrangement of human resources for the apparatus and strengthening the organization of government agencies.
