VIVAnews - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) evaluated that the obstruction in bureaucratic reform lies in the performance and behavior of civil servants. The problem includes the disciplining of civil servants with poor performance.
"It's not easy to change civil servants' behaviors," KPK Deputy Head Haryono Umar told VIVAnews on Monday, Dec 29.
According to Umar, the government is yet to be firm in disciplining civil servants who violated the rules. The sanctions, including decommissioning the violators and replacing them with new employees, are not well implemented. "Now, does the government actually dare to do this?" said Umar.
The government, said Umar, is also hampered by regulations. Specifically, Governmental Regulation No.30/1980 on Civil Servants Rules. "The regulation hampers the government from taking measures against them," he said.
Umar went on to say that the commision may supervise and watch civil servants. "If they ignore or modify our warning," he said, "then we should take measures against them."
In 2009, the Commission will still focus on public services. The Commission noted that the public services concerns system management and accountability.
