Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – One of the influncers or buzzers involved in voicing the Job Creation Bill through the hashtag #IndonesiaButuhKerja admits that posts uploaded via Instagram accounts are paid.
It is known, #IndonesiaButuhKerja is a form of support to perpetuate the Job Creation Bill. The hashtag has been buzzing with influencers and artists on Instagram.
Satria Ramadhan as Manager of Aditya Fadila (Adit Insomia) admitted that the post uploaded by Aditya through the @adit_insomia account which voiced the Job Creation Bill through the hashtag #IndonesiaButuhKerja received a fee or commission.
“The post has a fee for posting, so it’s a kind of buzzer because it happens that Adit’s friend is taking care of it,” Satria told CNBC Indonesia, Thursday (13/8/2020).
This was explained by Satria because previously he claimed the @adit_insomia upload was a post without paying and was done by Aditya voluntarily.
However, Satria was reluctant to mention how much the fee was received by Aditya after uploading the #Indonesia Needs Work campaign. “I can’t mention this one, but what is certain is that it is below Aditya’s rate,” he said.
“So it’s not voluntary. We don’t know if it has something to do with the government, let alone the bill, because there is nothing in the brief,” Satria continued.
Satria explained, the posts uploaded by Aditya were only to help his fellow profession, who he said had run this campaign project.
However, Satria was reluctant to mention who Aditya’s friend was. When confirmed, whether his fellow profession came from a state ministry / agency, Satria admitted that he did not come from the government.
“No, a friend of his profession. But he objected to being mentioned. Because it is his intention to help a friend who is holding this project,” he said.
Separately, Gofar Hilman also clarified the posts he uploaded via his Instagram account @pergijauh.
Gofar said he received an offer to make a video with the theme of creativity at home and creative ways to survive the large-scale social restrictions (PSBB).
“From the presentation deck and the brief that I got, there is no mention of any bill. And what I convey through video and writing, there is no statement that I support or belittle any particular party,” Gofar wrote in his tweet via his twitter account @pergijauh. , Thursday (13/8/2020).
Gofar admitted that he and his team did not do more in-depth research before and after receiving the job.
“Through this writing I personally apologize and in the future me and the team will be more careful when accepting work,” Gofar continued.
CNBC Indonesia has confirmed how much the fee or commission received by Gofar Hilman and his team, but those representing Gofar Management are reluctant to provide related information.
“There is no other statement other than what we have posted via Twitter,” said Fadil, who represents Gofar Management to CNBC Indonesia via electronic mail or e-mail.
