        "summary": "The Semarang City Government is preparing to implement Work From Anywhere (WFA) for civil servants selectively, prioritising direct public services while awaiting official directives from the Ministry of Home Affairs. Head of the Personnel, Education, and Training Agency, Joko Hartono, emphasised that many local government roles require physical presence, so WFA will be applied cautiously to maintain service quality. During the recent Eid holiday, limited WFA was allowed, but full physical attendance resumed on 30 March 2026 with strict monitoring to ensure discipline and optimal public service delivery.",
        "content": "<p>The Semarang City Government has confirmed that plans to implement\nWork From Anywhere (WFA) for Civil Servants (ASN) will be carried out\nselectively, while still prioritising direct services to the public.\nHowever, this policy is still awaiting official guidance from the\nMinistry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri). \u201cWe will follow what is decided\nby the Ministry of Home Affairs. Because we are under the Ministry of\nHome Affairs,\u201d said the Head of the Personnel, Education, and Training\nAgency (BKPP) of Semarang City, Joko Hartono, after the Central Morning\nRoll Call and Halal Bihalal for Eid al-Fitr 1 Syawal 1447 Hijriyah at\nthe Semarang City Hall courtyard on Monday, 30 March 2026. The Semarang\nCity Government, he continued, will adhere to the central government\u2019s\npolicy on WFA implementation, while considering the characteristics of\nASN work in the region, most of which requires physical presence.\nAccording to him, not all types of work can be carried out remotely or\nvia WFA. Therefore, the Semarang City Government will apply a principle\nof prudence in implementing this policy. \u201cIn local government, we are\nthe front-line servants to the community. The types of work and services\nrequire physical presence,\u201d said Joko. Therefore, he continued, for\ntypes of work that require physical presence, they will still be present\nphysically. His side added that during the Eid holiday period, ASN in\nSemarang City were given the opportunity to implement a limited WFA\nscheme. However, the majority of ASN still came to work due to the\ndemands of public services that cannot be neglected. He mentioned that\nas of 30 March 2026, all ASN have been required to return to physical\nwork at the office, and their attendance is strictly monitored. In\naddition, the Semarang City Government also ensures that ASN discipline\nremains a primary concern. Attendance supervision is carried out\ndirectly, including through surprise inspections (sidak), to ensure that\nservices to the public continue to run optimally. Joko also asked the\npublic not to worry about the WFA implementation plan. The Semarang City\nGovernment is committed to maintaining service quality, especially in\nsectors that directly interact with the community.<\/p>",
