A
number of bills which would serve as pillars of reformation of the bureaucracy
must be passed over the period of the next 12 months before election. The bill
consisted of among others: bill on state civilian apparatus [Asn], bill on
government administration [Adpem] and bill on government internal control
system [SPIP]. The bill was supposed to be free from political interference
toward presidential election of 2014. “The political climate is getting hot
lately. Whoever is elected as president he should given assurance that
corruption eradication and reformation of the bureaucracy would be prioritized”
Erry Riyana, head of the independent team of bureaucracy reformation disclosed to
disclosed to business news [23/4].
As soon as the Bills were passed
into law, whoever was elected as president would not easily adopt off-track
policy. The case was not as simple as Government Regulation [PP] or
presidential regulation [perpres] where the president could easily make
changes. The future president was expected to be a reformist figure, so
reformation of the bureaucracy would be a priority. “Reformation of the
bureaucracy must be constantly carried out, but the fruits could not be benefited
in a short time"
Implementation
a reformation of the bureaucracy in some ministries was still nothing but
paperwork. “The implementation is still beyond people’s expectation and it’s
very disheartening”
The objective of the reformation
itself was mainly to establish a clean bureaucracy which served. However to
change the mindset a culture of civil servant was not easy. Therefore Erry he
urged all executives at the ministries to be more daring and stringent to make
breakthroughs within the existing corridors toward achieving reformation of the
bureaucracy.
In
public services for example, there must be a clear standard operating procedure
whice was consistently implemented. Discipline among civil servants [PNS] must
be enforced without any psychological barriers. This must be put in effect
starting from recruitment of CPNS, promotion, until person. “Apply punish and
reward consistently.”
About some cases of civil servant at
the tax dept who were could red handed recently, Erry responded just lightly.
“They are fraudulent people, there are always such people in any institution.”
It did not mean they could be ignored they should be sanctioned according to
the rules, so the disease would not infect other personnel. By hard sanction a
deterrent effect would be made to other employees, so they need not to commit
the same mistake.
The recommendation made by the
deputy minister of PANREB Eko Prasojo about the principle of chain effect in
accountability must be supported. A leader must be accountable for the mistakes
done by his subordinates; other personnel of the same unit must share the
sanction.
Civilians must refer to the culture
among military circles. “The subordinate commits mistake, the leader must be
responsible”
Although there were cases of felonious
employees like Gayus Tambunan, so far only the ministry of finance had
exercised reformation of the bureaucracy the integrated and specified way. The
ministry of finance had changed standard of operation procedures [SOP].
Services had shown significant improvement, discipline and working ethos of
employees turned better, and targets were met at the ministry.
Other problem of reformation was the
so many regulations in effect which were not synchronous with one another. So
many law, PP and perpress which were not synchronous and even contradicted. The
same was with permen, kepmen, perda etc. all must be harmonized so the
underlying regulations could be made clear. “The vice President as Chairman of
the Reformation Committee must see this. A structural and earnest reformation
must be exercised within the circles of law enforces, prosecutors and police
force, so law enforcement could run smoothly and properly.”
