Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - The National Civil Service Apparatus Review Board (BPASN) has recorded a total of 69 cases of violations committed by civil servants (ASN), both permanent (PNS) and non-permanent (PPPK), in ministries, agencies, and local governments throughout this year.
Minister for State Apparatus Utilisation and Bureaucratic Reform (PANRB) Rini Widyantini stated that these matters were discussed in two sessions held on 29 January and March 2026. The aim is to take firm measures against ASN who commit disciplinary and behavioural violations.
“The government is taking firm action against violations committed by ASN and imposing sanctions, ranging from light, moderate, to severe sanctions such as dismissal from ASN status,” she said in a written statement on Wednesday (18/3/2026).
Rini explained that the first session discussed 36 cases, comprising 13 cases of disciplinary violations for not attending work, 6 cases of integrity violations, 6 cases of immoral conduct, and 11 cases of criminal corruption acts. The second session discussed 33 cases, including 15 cases of disciplinary violations for not attending work, 9 cases of immoral conduct, 5 cases of integrity violations, and 4 cases of criminal corruption acts.
Based on the results of both sessions, the board decided that 58 cases would receive dismissal from ASN status, while also reinforcing the decisions of the Personnel Managers (PPK).
A total of 31 cases were given the sanction of Honourable Dismissal Not at Own Request (PDHTAPS). Meanwhile, 12 cases were imposed with the sanction of Termination of Employment Contract with Honourable Dismissal Not at Own Request (PHPK DHTAPS), and 15 cases were given Dishonourable Dismissal (PDTH).
In addition, this year’s sessions also cancelled PPK decisions for 7 cases and mitigated 4 cases by imposing sanctions such as a one-year deferral of periodic salary increases, release from position for 12 months, and demotion by one level for 12 months.
