Civil servants's savings gone?<\/p>\n
From Kompas<\/p>\n
Civil Servants (PNS) are subjected to compulsory housing
\nsavings through the monthly salary withholding of Rp 3,000 for
\ngroup I, Rp 5,000 for group II, Rp 7,000 for group III and Rp
\n10,000 for group IV. On average, Rp 6,250 is withheld monthly
\nfrom the salaries of all civil servants in Indonesia. Based on
\n1995 data, Indonesia's PNS numbers reached 4,044,703 people. If
\nthis number is multiplied by the average sum of monthly savings,
\nthe result is Rp 25,279,393,750 (about US$2.5 million) each and
\nevery month, let alone a year, two years etc.<\/p>\n
It is surprising that applications for housing construction
\nsubmitted by rightful civil servants have almost never been
\napproved, not to mention the bureaucratic red tape, which makes
\nfund disbursement uncertain. Bapertarum\/BTN (state savings bank)
\nis just the most favored party because such a large amount is
\nsure to be received monthly. Where have the PNS savings gone to?
\nAre they allocated to other projects, deliberately misused or
\nloaned to the business sector?<\/p>\n
If the funds are evenly distributed to provinces, each should
\nget about Rp 800 million per month, which can be used to build 32
\nPNS housing units at Rp 25 million per unit, or 384 units in a
\nyear. This number will multiply in five or ten years.<\/p>\n
The use of the money must be questioned as the savings belong
\nto PNS. Perhaps the Civil Servants Corps should also explain
\nitself as it is the organization responsible for channeling the
\naspirations of civil servants but it has given no explanation
\nabout the savings, nor has it struggled for its members.<\/p>\n
