DPR Member Urges Government to Finalise PPPK Financing Through State Budget

A member of Commission II of the House of Representatives (DPR), Muhammad Khozin, has urged the government to immediately finalise the formula for financing government employees with work agreements (PPPK) in the regions through the state budget (APBN), particularly for areas with weak fiscal capacity. Khozin stated that this step is crucial to resolving the salary issues for PPPK that are still occurring in several regions. “We urge the central government to concretise the financing of PPPK in fiscally weak regions using the APBN instrument,” he said in a statement received in Jakarta on Tuesday. He noted that there are still PPPK receiving a salary of around Rp1 million per month. Furthermore, he said, some PPPK have not received their salaries for three months, as happened to hundreds of PPPK in South Bolaang Mongondow Regency, North Sulawesi. Khozin reminded that Commission II of the DPR, together with the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform, had previously agreed that the financing of PPPK in certain regions would be carried out by the central government through the APBN instrument. This conclusion, Khozin continued, was reached during a working meeting between Commission II of the DPR and the government in early June 2026. Therefore, he assessed that the government needs to immediately realise the PPPK financing formula through the APBN so that salary issues in the regions do not become protracted. “The central government must intervene to resolve the salary issues of PPPK in the regions. This concerns the effectiveness of public services in the regions so that they continue to run,” he said.
