PALANGKA RAYA – EXECUTIVE ADMINISTRATION BUREAU. The Central Kalimantan Covid-19 Handling Task Force Public Communication Team delivered a Press Release on development in Covid-19 handling in Central Kalimantan until today, Friday (14/05/2021).

The Central Kalimantan Covid-19 Task Force Team said that the government continues to emphasize the rules on the prohibition of homecoming to all people ahead of the post-Eid backflow, including for State Apparatus or Civil Servants.

Minister of State Apparatus Utilization and Bureaucratic Reform (PANRB) Tjahjo Kumolo reminded civil servants to remain role models for their families, communities and environment, especially in obeying the prohibition of homecoming.

“I am grateful to all civil servants who comply with the homecoming prohibition. Let’s protect ourselves, our families and those around us. Not going home is a form of our love to protect and be responsible for our family,” he said.

Furthermore, Tjahjo explained that the public can report civil servants who are reckless to go home to the Ministry through the complaint channel of the National Public Service Complaint Management System-People’s Aspiration and Online Complaint Service (SP4N-LAPOR!).

Acting Deputy for Human Resources and Apparatus of the Ministry of PANRB, Teguh Widjinarko, stated that civil servants would not be dishonorably discharged if they violated the rules against homecoming. Not until severe sanctions (disrespectful dismissal), but if this homecoming violation is committed, then this sanction will be a record in the career development of the civil servant concerned.
