Minister decries inefficiency

JAKARTA: State Minister for Administrative Reform Feisal Tamin
said on Thursday that continuing inefficiency in state
departments and offices was the result of a lack of oversight.

He said that supervision in each state department or office
was the responsibility of the department or office head and
inspector general.

"The Ministry of State Administrative Reform only coordinates
the supervision," Feisal told a hearing with House of
Representatives Commission II for law and home affairs here.

He was commenting on criticism against long-standing
inefficiency and the failure to follow up on the findings of the
Supreme Board (BPK) and the Development Finance Comptroller
(BPKP).

BPK and BPKP findings show that irregularities in the various
state institutions have cost the state Rp 388 billion and Rp 1.9
trillion respectively. -- JP
