Reform is one of the priorities of the Indonesian Advanced Cabinet. Therefore, the simplification of a large-scale and sustainable bureaucracy will be carried out by the Government, accompanied by strengthening the capabilities of both central and regional government institutions. With the creation of a professional bureaucracy through bureaucratic pruning, the nation’s progress will soon be realized.
Vice President Ma’ruf Amin said, simplification of bureaucracy needs to be done so that there is a real impact of bureaucratic reform on public services.
Ma’ruf said, Bureaucratic reform must lead to public services that are fast, easy, and inexpensive, and remain accessible in all conditions.
He stated that the government still had to continue to organize in various fields in the bureaucracy. Such as regulatory structuring, structural reform, cultural transformation and digital-based governance.
Of course, one of the challenges that will be faced in the process of change, among others, is changing the mindset and work culture. Of course there are things that need to be prepared such as good occupation to form a superior workforce.
Educational reform is of course also needed to prepare a superior workforce, both formal education and vocational education.
Eko Prasodjo as Chair of the TI-RBN has reported that the work program that has been carried out by TI-RBN during the period 2015 to 2019. Among others, namely the improvement of the CPNS recruitment system, the implementation of good performance management, achievement of organizational goals and objectives to be more efficient and effective through the Government Agency Performance Accountability system (SAKIP).
As well as encouraging the birth of various public service innovations in the Ministry / Lembega and Local Government, Institutional Structuring by reducing 23 LNS in 2017 and PTSP Services at the central and regional levels were perfected to become an Online Single Submission (OSS) Service.
Eko Prasodjo also added with recommendations to the Vice President for further bureaucratic reforms. These recommendations include strengthening bureaucratic reform both at the central and regional levels.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Edhy Prabowo also hopes that various stakeholder groups can submit complaints and input, because the CTF will not feel burdened.
Edhy said that he wanted to build directed communication and was no longer top down, but what he wanted was communication from the bottom up.
He also hopes that the vision of marine and fisheries in the homeland can be united so that there is no more service in the area that receives assistance with unclear origins.
Edhy also hoped that various stakeholders could submit various complaints and inputs, because the CTF was judged not to feel burdened.
On the previous occasion, Edhy also stated that the principle of the government was trying to simplify the licensing process, but he also emphasized that business operators maintain their commitment to comply with applicable regulations.
Regarding licensing constraints experienced by business actors related to local regulations (Perda), Minister Edhy said that he would immediately coordinate with the relevant local governments (pemda).
In this way, it is hoped that there will be no more local government licensing that hinders or contradicts the efforts of the central government to optimize aquaculture.
Simplification of the Bureaucracy is certainly something important, so that matters relating to correspondence including the filing of licenses can be faster and not convoluted until it can reach four months. If it can be accelerated why not?
Previously, Minister of Research Technology and Higher Education (Menristekdikti) Mohammad Nasir said inter-agency coordination had been a serious problem in the development of innovation. This is partly due to the interpersonal sectoral ego.
Therefore, the only way that must be done is to cut regulations which are considered to hamper the government bureaucracy. Over the past 5 years, Mohammad Nasir admitted that he had revoked about 40 ministerial regulations (Permen) which were considered to be irrelevant for the present.
Before the simplification of the bureaucracy, Nasir said, to submit a Study Program, the requirements for completing the administration were very numerous and were done manually, but with the bureaucratic pruning, now it only needed 2 weeks.
Simplification of the bureaucracy is certainly a manifestation of the progress of a country in helping the affairs of the people, if a job can be accelerated why should it move slowly.
