Today, Pramono Appoints 891 Echelon II to IV Officials

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Governor of DKI Jakarta Pramono Anung will inaugurate 891 civil servants within the Jakarta provincial government on Wednesday (20 May 2026). The officials to be sworn in range from Echelon II to Echelon IV. ‘So there will be a large number to be sworn in. Not only Echelon II, but more Echelon III and Echelon IV perhaps 891,’ Pramono said at the City Hall in Jakarta on Wednesday. In addition, the civil servants to be sworn in are asked to wear Betawi cultural attire. ‘Indeed later in the afternoon as usual on Wednesdays. Why Wednesday? Because I deliberately schedule the inauguration so that civil servants who are sworn in use public transport wearing Betawi identity features such as ujung serong, encim, and so on,’ he said. He assesses the government organization will run better if all positions are filled by definitive officials. ‘I really want all positions not to be idle and not vacant. Because the organization reflects how it runs; there should be no more Plt (Pelaksana Tugas, Acting Officials),’ he said. ‘For almost my leadership there have been no PLT; whenever there is a vacancy it is immediately filled,’ he said.
