REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Stata Administrative and Bureaucracy Reforms Yuddy Chrisnandi said newly formed ministries would not recruit new civil servants but use existing ones.

"The apparatuses for newly established ministries will be taken from existing civil servants. Vice President Yusuf Kalla has offered that there are about 400 civil servants at his vice presidential office who could be transferred to new ministries," Yuddy said here on Monday (3/11).

According to Yuddy, who is a cadre of the People's Conscience Party (Hanura), Vice President Jusuf Kalla has told him that the number of employees at the vice presidential secretariat was too high and there were many experts who could be empowered at new ministries.

"For example, the office of the coordinating minister for maritime affairs could take maritime experts from the vice presidential office," he said.

Yet, there should be employee training and standardization for the new ministries. Employees should be adjusted to the competence of fields needed by the new ministries.

The training should be conducted so that employees taken from other ministries to the new ones would immediately be able to adjust themselves to the new tasks.

He said that the new ministries would not either have new buildings because they were expected to use existing buildings.

Yuddy said that there would be no civil servant recruitment in the coming five years because the government would focus on increasing efficiency, effectiveness and productivity of state apparatuses.

"It is better to talks bitterly with sweet results than talks sweetly but with a bitter result at the end of the government," the minister said.

He said that at present, the government is imposing a moratorium on civil servant recruitment.

"The number of present civil servants has drawn criticism from the public. So, recruitment is stopped for the time being," the minister said.

He said that moratorium on civil servant recruitment was a national policy taken to increase efficiency and productivity of existing state apparatuses.

"The moratorium is also intended to form a slim and effective bureaucracy so that it will be able to respond to existing public problems effectively and efficiently," the minister said.

He hoped that all state apparatuses would be really productive and maximal in providing services to the people.

Yuddy said he had also received reports many officials were not maximal in providing service to the people. They are not friendly and make matters even more complicated, causing investment climate not to be conducive.

He said that he had also often received reports that many civil servants did not start working immediately based on the working hours but read newspapers and before the working hours ended they had left the office to hang out at malls.

"Therefore, let's make existing civil servants work effectively and carry out organizational auditing to see the obedient level of civil servants," he said.

He hoped that all state apparatuses would be really productive and maximal in providing services to the people.
