The Head of the Legal, Communication and Public Information Bureau of the Ministry of Administrative Reform and Bureaucratic Reform (KemenPAN-RB) Herman Suryatman stated that information about the president's salary, which was valued at Rp. 553 million, was not valid. This information cannot be used as a basis because it is sourced from last year's discussion material. "That's an invalid simulation number. Material for the coordination meeting of the Draft PP on Salaries and Benefits that was held last year. Precisely February 2017," said Herman, in Jakarta. Saturday (10/3). He explained that the explanation contained a simulation of the amount of income for civil servants and state officials (not just the president). “The data in the presentation is a discussion material that still requires further study. It not only contains a simulation of the income of State Officials, but also a simulation of the income of civil servants. Please don't be misunderstood." Furthermore, Herman said, if there is data or information circulating related to the field of utilization of the state apparatus and reform, it is expected to confirm it first with him. "Please confirm with us so that the problem is clear. Especially now in the era of public information disclosure, we are obliged to provide good information services,” concluded Herman.
