In July 2026 the PPPK salary financing debate over financing PPPK salaries intensified. On 21 July, part‑time health workers employed under PPPK staged a peaceful protest outside Jakarta City Hall, demanding that restoration of the 13th‑month salary they lost after conversion to contract status be restored and that alignment of their rights be fully aligned benefits with ASN benefits. those of regular civil servants. The protest, organized by the Association of Indonesian Health Workers (APKSI), highlighted anxiety over a new circular on civil‑servant termination guidelines. A week later, on 30 July, the DPR’s Commission II put forward advanced a reform to link provincial governors’ salaries, allowances and operating budgets to performance outcomes. Chair Rifqinizamy Karsayuda argued outcomes, arguing that the existing 2000 regulation enabled corruption and that a performance‑based system could curb misuse of funds. corruption. The proposal, backed by regional government associations, will be developed jointly with the Ministry of Home Affairs. On the same day, Home Affairs Minister Tito Karnavian announced a revision of the 2000 regulation to tie regional head remuneration to performance assessments by BPKP, PANRB and the ministry, as well as to each region’s own revenue (PAD). He disclosed a DBH shortfall of roughly Rp 70 trillion, primarily from tax and natural‑resource allocations, and said the gap could be used to settle unpaid PPPK salaries, with a top‑up mechanism from the General Allocation Fund for fiscally weaker areas. Demak Regency confirmed extensions of all PPPK contracts and prepared a budget for PPPK salaries in 2026‑27, seeking central support for weaker regions. These developments underscore the ongoing fiscal tension between national PPPK wage commitments and regional budget capacities, as policymakers grapple with both balance employee rights and with broader public‑sector reform.
