TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - BPJS Watch advocacy coordinator Timboel Siregar called on President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo to immediately follow-up on the resignation of an official of the Worker’s Social Security Agency (BPJS ketenagakerjaan) involved in an alleged sex scandal.

Timboel believes that the BPJS official in question, Syafri Adnan Baharuddin, has violated Article 34 from Law No. 24/2011 overseeing social security administrators.
