Jokowi Signs SK for ASN Salary Increase up to TNI-Polri

The salary increase for the military and police during the Jokowi era has indeed not been substantial. It has only occurred four times. This is different compared to the previous administration, which reportedly reached nine times.

In response to this, Jokowi emphasized that not every era of leadership can be treated the same. Because everything must be adjusted to the existing state of the country's finances and the external influences that occur. "Our fiscal situation, the economic situation is different; we decide to raise and it is not certain with careful consideration," Jokowi explained.

"If our fiscal position is under pressure from external factors such as COVID, trade wars, and geopolitics that are not conducive, then it is impossible for us to do everything with careful consideration and calculation," he added. Previously, presidential candidate number 1, Anies Baswedan, gave a poor rating to the performance of the Ministry of Defense under the leadership of Prabowo Subianto, namely 11 out of 100."

"Anies explained why he gave a worse score than Ganjar regarding the performance of the Ministry of Defense under the leadership of Prabowo Subianto. This can be seen from the welfare of TNI-Polri personnel. According to him, during the era of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY), the salaries of TNI-Polri increased 9 times. This is different from what happened during Jokowi's leadership."

"TNI, our soldiers, our police, all work extraordinarily in the field. We must give them respect and thanks because they do difficult and heavy tasks. But the policy side, in my opinion, is worse, why? During SBY's era, salary increases occurred 9 times. During this era, it has only happened 3 times, and it will increase next year because of the upcoming elections, perhaps the salary will rise."

The translation of "kata Anies." to English is "words of Anies."

"Moreover, with Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto not making efforts to increase performance allowances for his personnel."

"On the other hand, their welfare is not taken seriously. The allowance is only 80 percent. Look at the Ministry of Finance, look at the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing, their ministers are working to increase the allowance for them."
The translation of "tutur Anies." to English is "Anies' words."
