Limited facilities for officials

Limited facilities for officials

From Suara Karya

The government has drafted a regulation on the standardization
of facilities and infrastructures for state officials, including
restrictions on the use of official cars, which deserves our
support.

When the rules come into force, there will be no more official
cars roaming shopping malls and recreation centers, as is the
case now. Apart from sedans for high-ranking government
officials, operational cars will take the form of 2,000-cc
minibuses.

State Minister for Administrative Reform Feisal Tamin has set
an example of modest living by using a Kijang car for his office
duties, which should be followed by everyone in the
administration.

Official cars of the Indonesian Military and police are rarely
found in public places because they are subject to regular raids,
with stern action for those violating standard procedures. Such
measures are worth applying to civilian officials.

Let us hope the government regulation will be enforced to
guarantee the enhancement of efficiency in all central and
regional government agencies.
