Civil servant's TikTok live stream during work hours sparks probe in Bandung Barat

A video circulating on social media has caused a stir, showing a civil servant from the Bandung Barat Regency government live-streaming on TikTok during official work hours. The incident has drawn significant attention, particularly due to alleged conversations captured during the broadcast concerning a 1% fee related to project management.

You why don't you want to be helped, afraid the percentage will be divided? Don't just give to Amanda, you give me 1 percent.

The footage reportedly features the female civil servant, identified by the initials IYP, discussing payment arrangements with an unseen individual. In the recording, she can be heard saying, "You why don't you want to be helped, afraid the percentage will be divided? Don't just give to Amanda, you give me 1 percent." This statement has raised concerns about potential corruption and misuse of authority.

Ade Zakir, the Regional Secretary (Sekda) of Bandung Barat Regency, addressed the issue, stating that the local government will conduct a thorough clarification with the civil servant involved before determining any further actions. "First, we must clarify with the person concerned to find out what actually happened. After the facts and events are clear, then we will determine the actions to be taken," Zakir said.

Initial information suggests that the civil servant may hold a position as a Pegawai Pemerintah dengan Perjanjian Kerja (PPPK), a type of contract worker in Indonesia. However, Zakir emphasized that this status is still subject to verification through an internal examination. The investigation aims to ascertain the full details of the incident and ensure accountability within the civil service.

We also have not conducted further checks, but the temporary information we received is that the person concerned has PPPK status.
