State Personnel Discipline Board Hears 69 Cases of Civil Servant Violations Including Misconduct and Corruption

Jakarta – During 2026, the State Personnel Discipline Board (BPASN) has convened two sessions to address 69 cases of various violations committed by civil servants and contract workers (PPPK) across ministries, agencies, and local government bodies.

Minister of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform Rini Widyantini, serving as Chair of BPASN, stated that the outcomes of these sessions demonstrate the government’s firm action in imposing sanctions against personnel who breach disciplinary and conduct standards.

“The government has taken decisive action against violations committed by civil servants and issued sanctions ranging from light, moderate to severe penalties such as dismissal from civil service,” said Minister Rini following the BPASN session at the Ministry of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform on Friday (13 March 2026).

The first BPASN session of the year took place on 29 January 2026. This session addressed 36 cases comprising 13 cases of absenteeism discipline violations, 6 cases of integrity violations, 6 cases of misconduct, and 11 cases of corruption.

The second session, held in March 2026, examined 33 cases. These included 15 cases of absenteeism discipline violations, 9 cases of misconduct, 5 cases of integrity violations, and 4 cases of corruption.

Based on both sessions, BPASN decided on 58 cases resulting in dismissal from civil service status, reinforcing decisions by Personnel Management Officials (PPK). A total of 31 cases received Honourable Dismissal Not Upon Request (PDHTAPS) sanctions. Twelve cases were handed Honourable Termination of Employment Agreement Not Upon Request (PHPK DHTAPS) sanctions, and 15 cases received Dishonourable Dismissal (PDTH).

The 2026 BPASN sessions also reversed PPK decisions in 7 cases and reduced penalties in 4 cases by imposing sanctions such as suspension of periodic salary increases for one year, relief from position for 12 months, and demotion to a lower rank for 12 months.

The BPASN session serves as an administrative remedy (objections and administrative appeals) for civil servants dissatisfied with decisions issued by PPK and decision-making officials. BPASN decisions can reinforce, lighten, aggravate, modify, or reverse PPK decisions.
