00:00I have been thinking for 12 years, the increase in the number of drinkers is 24%, but there

00:21has not been a rise in the salary of public servants.

00:28So I believe, after considering all of this, with the increase in the cost of living, with

00:37high hopes for public servants, all ranks in the area of the airport, state and

00:46government, we feel that the salary of public servants, which so far since 12 years ago,

00:56has only increased by 5.8%, compared to an inflation of 24%.

01:03Therefore, for public servants, it is very stressful, especially those in grades 26 and below,

01:13who have a low salary.

01:16I believe that the public servants are waiting, and the last time, the salary increase in 2012.

01:30The salary increase that will be implemented later, in general, I said earlier, is far better

01:37than what has ever been implemented.

01:41Therefore, it is to be announced, the salary decrease of public servants as follows, the

01:52salary decrease of 15% to the employees of the implementation group and the employees of the

02:00management and professional group, and the salary decrease of 7% to the employees of the

02:07highest management group.

02:14This is also a brave step, because the KSN of its peers above increased by 7%, the one

02:23below it rose between 15% to 42%.

02:28The implementation of this salary decrease will be carried out gradually, in phases,

02:40meaning that on December 1, 2024, phase 1, January 1, 2026, phase 2, for the employees of the

02:52implementation group, employees of the management and professional group, the salary decrease

02:58for phase 1 is 8% and phase 2 is 7%, in general, 15%.

03:06For the highest management group, the salary decrease for phase 1 is 4%, phase 2 is 3%.

03:16Innovation and increase in income, however, it is a system of rules that imposes values

03:29and achievements, and this must be accepted before accepting the SSPE, because if there

03:42are people who are weak, who do not often come to the office, or come to the office late,

03:52and while being late, do not assume that this salary system will be beneficial, but believe

03:59it, from the research of JPE, this is a small number of cohorts in our country, and the

04:07responsibility of the relatives, especially the head of the office, is not to protect them,

04:11but to encourage them to go back to the foundation, to increase their level of work, so that they

04:19will not be separated from this opportunity.

04:22Three strengths to achieve this goal, what is our size, when we give a salary, what is

04:30the size of our achievement, increasing the productivity and efficiency of public services,

04:36second, increasing the readiness of public officials to implement changes, and third,

04:44increasing the competitiveness of the country, then the SSPE must be measured based on productivity

04:54and direct contribution to the efficiency of public services in all levels, from the lowest

05:03level in the village, in the small town, in the city, and in the city, and this is related

05:12to what we call a good and satisfactory management system.
