        "summary": "The Indonesian Ministry of Home Affairs, through Deputy Minister Bima Arya Sugiarto, plans to inspect and evaluate local governments that fail to implement the work-from-home (WFH) policy for civil servants (ASN), using the Local Government Information System (SIPD) to monitor compliance. This national directive, mandating one WFH day per week on Fridays, aims to foster efficient and effective ASN work culture transformation, despite resistance from some regional leaders like the Governor of South Kalimantan. The ministry intends to engage in communication with non-compliant areas to ensure adherence, highlighting the central government's push for uniform policy execution across regions.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA - Deputy Minister of Home Affairs Bima Arya Sugiarto stated\nthat his office will conduct checks and evaluations on local governments\n(pemda) that do not implement work from home (WFH) for civil servants\n(ASN). Bima said the checks could be carried out through the Local\nGovernment Information System (SIPD) of the Ministry of Home Affairs.\n\u201cWe will check and evaluate which regions have not adjusted. We can\ncheck through SIPD to what extent efficiency measures have been\nimplemented,\u201d Bima said when contacted on Thursday (9\/6\/2026). Bima\nemphasised that this policy applies nationally, so every local\ngovernment must implement it. This is because some regions have\nsignalled rejection of the WFH policy for ASN in their areas. Among them\nis the Governor of South Kalimantan (Kalsel), Muhidin, who firmly\nrejects the WFH policy. Then, the Regent of Dompu, Bambang Firdaus, who\nstated he would review the WFH policy. According to Bima, the Ministry\nof Home Affairs will communicate with several such regions. \u201cWe will\ncommunicate; there are some regions that initially differed but after we\ncommunicated, they could understand and then adjust,\u201d he said. As is\nknown, the government has implemented a WFH policy for ASN every Friday.\n\u201cAdjustment of official duties by location with a WFH work pattern for\none working day per week, namely every Friday,\u201d said Tito, reading out\npoints from the SE, as per a written statement received by Kompas.com on\nWednesday (1\/4\/2026). As stipulated in the SE, the implementation of WFH\nis intended to encourage the achievement of ASN regional work culture\ntransformation that is effective and efficient.<\/p>",
