akarta governor Basuki “Ahok” Tjahaja Purnama has threatened to cut the performance bonuses of any Jakarta civil servants who use cars owned by the administration to return to their hometowns ahead of the mass exodus, known as mudik, during Idul Fitri.
“They won’t dare to use the office cars, as the bonuses are greater than their monthly salaries. We have also equipped the cars with GPS to enable us to locate them,” Ahok said at City Hall in Jakarta on Tuesday.
Performance allowances (TKD) vary, depending on rank. For example, a division head may receive Rp 57 million in TKD, while the regional secretary may receive up to Rp 127 million.
According to a 2016 gubernatorial regulation, all civil servants ,including contract workers, have the right to receive TKD. The amount is determined based on the key performance indicator (KPI) of each civil servant.
Deputy Governor Djarot Saiful Hidayat said that no civil servants should use the administration’s assets for personal purposes, stressing that it was “totally unacceptable” for civil servants to use their office cars for mudik. (ags)
