TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The State Civilian Bureaucracy Commission (KASN) stated Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan was found guilty for reshuffling several city officials.

“KASN finds maladministration on the procedure and law enforcement regarding the dismissal and reshuffle of Jakarta officials,” said KASN commissioner Sofian Effendi in a written statement, Friday, July 27.

The investigation was commenced following the Jakarta Gubernatorial Decree on June 8 No. 1000/2018 and No. 1036/2018 dated July 5. The commission listed a total of 16 state civil services discharged by Anies Baswedan. 

Sofian explained the investigation was in accordance with the Law No. 5/2014 on State Civil Services hence KASN examined Jakarta Governor, the city secretary, and asked for the review from the acting head of the Regional Employment Agency (BKD).

“To obtain complete and balanced data related to the dismissal of city officials including mayors, regents, regional hospital heads, and regional working units (SKPD) heads in Jakarta province,” he added.

As a result, Sofian went on to say, KASN came up with four recommendations to which Anies Baswedan should follow up. Should Jakarta Governor fail to meet the suggestion, the commission would report the matter to the President for further sanction, based on Article 33 (1) of Law No. 5/2014 concerning State Civil Services.
