Finance Minister Sri Mulyani emphasized that there was no discussion regarding the increase in the President's salary. This is in response to the statement from the Head of the Legal, Communication and Public Information Bureau of KemenPAN-RB, Herman Suryatman, who said that the President's salary would increase to Rp 553 million per month. "It doesn't exist and has never been discussed. And in my opinion, what was conveyed by the Menpan was a hoax," said Sri Mulyani at the Bogor Presidential Palace, West Java, Monday (12/3). The former Managing Director of the World Bank said that hoax information was indeed scattered on social media. Many parties make documents that seem to be the same as the original. "In the current era of social media, a lot of information is created, and documents that are made similar to the government are then published," he said. Although denying the discussion of the salary increase of the Head of State, Sri Mulyani confirmed the information on the plan to increase the salary of Civil Servants (PNS). "If the salary of civil servants will be in the 2019 RKP and 2019 RAPBN, we will design it based on what we have conveyed to the council. In financial notes, usually salary increases and payments for the 13th salary as well as for pensions are usually entered by the president at the time of the financial note. August," he explained
