JAKARTA - Minister of Home Affairs (Mendagri) Tito Karnavian asked local governments to immediately pay incentives to health workers for those who are still in arrears.
"I want to emphasize that this health worker incentive is the President's rightful attention because the budget is already in the regions that have been transferred by the Minister of Finance," Tito said in a virtual press conference, Monday, July 26.
Tito said that currently the health worker's incentive budget has been distributed. This budget is included in one of the components of the general allocation fund (DAU) and the profit sharing fund (DBH) transferred by the Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani.
"For that, please, the health workers' incentives are both at the provincial and district/city levels, the province for health workers is the responsibility of the province, then the health care hospitals in the district/city are the responsibility of the district/city, this will be disbursed immediately," Tito continued.
The Minister of Home Affairs appreciated a number of provinces that had disbursed the health worker incentives, including North Sumatra, South Sulawesi, DI Yogyakarta, West Java and other areas that were not mentioned.
Tito said that one of the areas that had implemented 100 percent health worker incentives was in Depok City and Gorontalo Province.
"I'm sorry that I can't mention the others one by one. Quite a few have already disbursed. Later I will write a thank you letter," he said.
