Jakarta Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani Indrawati emphasized that there will be no layoffs of honorary workers within the Ministry and Institutions.
This statement was made by the Minister of Finance to reassure the public not to worry about the circulating news regarding the termination of contracts for honorary staff due to budget efficiency at the Ministry of Institutions.
“Regarding the news about the termination of honorary staff in the Ministry and Institutions, it is hereby stated that there is no termination of honorary staff in the Ministry and Institutions,” said Sri Mulyani at the DPR, Jakarta, Friday (14/2/2025).
Sri Mulyani emphasized that the efficiency policy or budget reconstruction carried out in various Ministries and Agencies will not affect honorary staff.
“We ensure that the efficiency measures or, in this case, the reconstruction of the budgets of the Ministries and Agencies do not affect honorary staff.” Therefore, further research will be conducted,” he said.
Budget Efficiency
Regarding the budget efficiency measures implemented by the government, Sri Mulyani stated that these steps are more focused on restructuring and improving budget management, rather than reducing the number of workers.
Budget efficiency is indeed one of the policies currently being pursued by the government to ensure that budget allocations are more targeted and support the achievement of national development goals.
However, in this case, Sri Mulyani assured that the budget efficiency measures taken will not affect the welfare and status of honorary staff.
“The efficiency measures of the Ministry of Institutions are not to affect spending on honorary workers, and to continue to operate according to the President’s directive, which is to provide good public services,” said the Minister of Finance.
