She informed that this does not amount to a delay in promotions. Rather, it is meant to ensure that all CPNS can be appointed simultaneously, she explained.
According to Widyantini, the schedule was determined by considering state apparatus (ASN) placement and management to support priority development programs.
"It was just decided recently. The House of Representatives (DPR) and the government have agreed that everything will be prepared. CPNS (promotion) in October," she said after a hearing with DPR's Commission II at the Parliament Complex here on Wednesday.
She emphasized that the adjustment in the schedule for CPNS appointments is not due to the government's budget efficiency policy. She said that her side needs to finalize announcements related to CPNS across various agencies.
"We ensure that applicants who have participated and passed the CASN selection will still be appointed as state apparatus," she said.
She added that the adjusted schedule for the promotion of CPNS to ASN will take into account the need to comprehensively address the challenges that arise during the CASN selection process and the overall governance of the ASN.
In addition, some regions have proposed delaying the selection process.
After the CASN selection stage in 2024, several issues need to be evaluated, particularly regarding some agencies that delayed their CPNS recruitment, she noted.
"Secondly, the formation proposals submitted by the government are not optimal and do not align with our data," she said.
Furthermore, she noted that there are agencies that did not propose ASN formations according to the educational qualifications and positions for applicants who are already recorded in the National Civil Service Agency (BKN) database.
