Syarif also questioned the salary of contract workers because, he said, Finance Minister Sri Mulyani had stated that PPPK salaries were covered by the state budget.
JAKARTA, KOMPAS — The government's latest policy on contract workers is feared driven by political interests towards winning the 2024 General Election. To prevent this, the recruitment system must be strict and transparent. The same applies to recruiting outsourced personnel by local administrations in place of contract workers.
A number of mayors and deputy mayors spoke on political interests in 2024 at the Kompas Collaboration Forum City Leaders Community discussion, “Strengthening Politics of Regional Budget Transfers for City Development”, which was held on Friday (10/6/2022) by the Kompas daily in collaboration with the Association of Indonesian City Administrations (Apeksi) at the Kompas Editorial Office in Jakarta.
