Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa has refuted claims circulating on social media that a manager at Koperasi Desa/Kelurahan Merah Putih (KDKMP) receives a monthly salary of Rp16.25 million. The minister explicitly stated that such a salary is not approved by the government.

Sadewa's direct denial addresses the specific figure reported online, aiming to correct what he deems misinformation. The context suggests a public concern or scrutiny over the financial operations and compensation structures within village and sub-district cooperatives.

By publicly disavowing the reported salary, the Finance Minister seeks to assure the public that the government maintains oversight and does not endorse excessive remuneration for managers of these community-level cooperatives. This clarification is crucial in maintaining public trust and ensuring responsible financial governance.
