Social Minister announces dismissal of one civil servant and three PKH companions

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Social Minister (Mensos) Saifullah Yusuf has officially announced the dismissal of one civil servant (PNS) within the Ministry of Social Affairs (Kemensos) and three companions of the Family Hope Programme (PKH) holding Government Employee with Work Agreement (PPPK) status for committing serious disciplinary violations.

The announcement of the employee’s dismissal was delivered directly by Saifullah Yusuf following the disciplinary roll call for staff at the Ministry of Social Affairs office on Thursday morning.

“What I signed today for dismissal is one ASN. He has met the criteria for dismissal because in the past few years, he has never shown up and has not carried out his duties properly,” he said, met with silence by the hundreds of roll call participants who did not expect a dismissal.

In addition to that PNS, the Mensos also announced the dismissal of three PKH companion personnel with PPPK status.

The Mensos emphasised that this firm action is a continuation of last year’s disciplinary evaluation, in which nearly 500 employees received Warning Letter (SP) 1 and SP 2, with 49 of them ending in dismissal.

Currently, Kemensos is also processing several other employees suspected of committing serious violations.

“There are several more who have also committed serious violations that we are processing. We will not hesitate to discipline undisciplined employees to ensure public services remain well-maintained,” he asserted.
