Dompu Regent Has Not Decided on Implementing WFH for Civil Servants

The Regent of Dompu, Bambang Firdaus, has not yet decided on implementing the Work From Home (WFH) policy for civil servants (ASN). According to him, the Dompu Regency Government (Pemkab Dompu) is still awaiting clarity from the central government regarding that policy.

“Regarding WFH, we haven’t decided yet. We’re still waiting for clarity from the centre. If and when it happens, we will consider it together; up to today, we are still operating normally,” said Bambang Firdaus to reporters at the Dompu District Prosecutor’s Office (Kejari Dompu) on Thursday (9/4/2026).

According to him, WFH is a central government policy aimed at reducing the use of fuel oil (BBM). Bambang assessed that regions need to conduct a thorough and comprehensive study of the impacts it would cause.

Pemkab Dompu, Bambang explained, has not yet conducted a study related to the WFH policy. However, he said, not all central government directives can be implemented by local governments.

“We haven’t conducted an initial study on WFH. We will review it later, whether it will apply on Fridays or Mondays or not at all. Not all regions implement it because each area has its own conditions,” stated Bambang.

Bambang emphasised that the WFH policy would have a negative impact on reducing ASN work activities in public services. On the other hand, if there are positive impacts for sustainability, then the WFH policy will be implemented in Dompu.

“If it doesn’t have much impact, why should we do it? WFH also impacts the reduction of work activities in public services. But if it has a good impact, we will do something in line with the central regulations. We don’t always follow all central directives,” Bambang asserted firmly.
