Jakarta – Two ASN school supervisors at the elementary and middle school level who were suspected of having an extramarital affair have been fired. Member of Commission II of the DPR, who is also the chairman of the Election and Regional Election Winning Division of the DPP PKS, Mardani Ali Sera, asked the Ministry of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform (PAN-RB) to remind ASN of ethics and morals. “The Ministry of PAN-RB and technical ministries must continue to remind the ethics and morals of all ASN as pillars of the state’s presence in society,” Mardani told journalists on Monday (21/12/2025). Mardani said this incident illustrates the importance of maintaining a healthy atmosphere in the RT and RW environment.

The Bogor Regency government is known to have fired 2 ASN school supervisors at primary and middle school levels who were suspected of having an extramarital affair. Both were deemed to have committed serious breaches of the ASN’s code of ethics leading to dismissal sanctions. “The disciplinary punishment imposed was the worst, namely honorable dismissal without his own request, in accordance with government regulation number 94 of 2021 regarding civil servants’ discipline,” said Bogor Regency regional secretary, Ajat Rochmat Jatnika, as reported by Antara, Sunday (21/12/2025). These sanctions were imposed following complaints from the public about allegations of cohabitation outside of marriage or cohabitation. This incident arose after the video of the two raids was circulated on social media. The raid was carried out by the child of one of the ASN who did not accept that his parents were suspected of having an affair. Ajat explained that the Bogor Regency government followed up on the complaint through an inspection mechanism in accordance with statutory provisions. According to him, the process of dealing with this case took quite a long time. The inspection begins within the Education Department, then continues with a special inspection team because suspected violations lead to serious penalties. Ajat said that the recommendation for disciplinary punishment was received from the National Public Service Agency (PSA) on December 10, 2025 and determined by a decision on December 11, 2025. Furthermore, the decision letter for disciplinary punishment was handed over to the two Bogor ASN individuals on December 15, 2025 to start the administrative period and from that moment appeal came into effect. “The person concerned is given 14 days to file an administrative appeal. If there is no appeal, the sentence will stand permanently,” he said. (isa/imk)
