According to an official statement issued Tuesday, Yassierli said he had summoned all senior officials at the Primary High Leadership Position (JPT Pratama) level individually to review the ministry’s service restructuring and digitization efforts.
"This comprehensive internal consolidation aims to ensure that public services continue uninterrupted while accelerating the reform process," the minister stated.
Yassierli also stressed the importance of fully implementing the previously signed integrity pacts across the ministry, including by nearly 1,000 occupational health and safety service providers (PJK3).
He reiterated the ministry’s commitment to fully cooperate with the KPK as the anti-graft body continues its investigation into the data and facts surrounding the case.
To reinforce a culture of integrity, professionalism, and improved public service, the minister convened all coordinators and sub-coordinators from the Directorate General of Labor Supervision and Occupational Safety and Health (Binwasnaker K3).

He instructed the formation of a cross-directorate Change Management Team to evaluate all service lines and strengthen the ministry’s internal risk control systems.
In addition, Yassierli pledged to rotate or dismiss any officials or staff members found to be implicated—either directly or indirectly—in illegal levies or extortion practices.
"The structural reform agenda will continue and be strengthened. This includes a comprehensive overhaul of services and regulations, enhanced risk management, and accelerated digitization to achieve clean, transparent, and accountable governance," he said.
On August 22, 2025, the KPK officially named Deputy Manpower Minister Immanuel Ebenezer, along with Irvian Bobby and nine others, as suspects in a case involving alleged extortion in the issuance of Occupational Safety and Health (K3) certificates within the Ministry of Manpower.
According to the KPK, Immanuel received Rp3 billion (approximately USD 190,000) and a Ducati motorcycle from Irvian Bobby in connection with the case.
