Civil servant number imbalance

Civil servant number imbalance

MAKASSAR, South Sulawesi: State Minister for Administrative
Reforms Feisal Tamin said on Tuesday that the number of civil
servants between the western and eastern parts of Indonesia were
unbalanced.

"There are only 555,648 civil servants in the eastern part of
Indonesia, but there are over 2.4 million on Java alone," he
said.

Feisal said that provinces in the eastern part of Indonesia
had only demanded infrastructure development, and had never asked
for an increase in the number of civil servants.

He pointed out that civil servants had always lacked
professionalism, which had disappointed the public in the end
because of the poor service they provided. He also emphasized on
the need to simplify the bureaucracy for civil servants. -- JP
