Prabowo to Raise Salaries of Court Clerks and Staff

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto promises to raise the salaries of employees in the judiciary. He made this announcement after previously raising judges' salaries.

According to Prabowo, the decision to increase judges' salaries was appreciated by the Chief Justice, Sunarto. However, Sunarto reminded that there are other court employees whose salaries have not been raised.

"The Chief Justice told me, 'Sir, thank you for your attention to the judges, but it turns out that in our courts we still have other personnel, the court clerk's salaries have not been raised, then there are staff, administrative staff,'" said Prabowo during a speech at the Attorney General's Office on Wednesday, May 13, 2026.

The Chairperson of the Gerindra Party understands this issue and has promised to instruct Minister of Finance Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa to review the proposal to increase court staff salaries. "The Minister of Finance should find funding for all court employees to have a salary increase," Prabowo said.

He also advised the judges to deliver fair verdicts for the public. "Remember, your verdicts will be judged by the people. Your verdicts will be studied. And our society and people are not ignorant. They will see and they will feel any injustice," he said.

The Prabowo administration previously raised judges' salaries in 2025. The President discussed this decision during the Annual Session of the House of Representatives (DPR) at the Parliament Complex, Nusantara Building, Jakarta, on Friday, August 15, 2025.

Prabowo increased judges' salaries by up to 280 percent from the previous amount. "We have increased the salaries of some judges by up to 280 percent. We also have no qualms about uncovering major corruption cases," he said at that time.

He stated that the salary increase was one of the efforts to uphold the law and justice. According to Prabowo, the increase in judges' salaries is a crucial factor in upholding the law. "We work to uphold the law and justice. One of the important aspects is that in upholding the law and justice, judges' salaries must be in good condition," said the former defense minister.
