Objective appraisal is needed

JAKARTA (JP): A city administration official said on Friday that all unit heads in city administration must make objective job appraisals on their subordinates in order to give the public better services.

Bambang Soengkono, an assistant to the city secretary, revealed that there are many managers at city hall who gave good appraisal of their subordinates because they (the subordinates) bribed them.

He told Antara on Friday that such practices did not directly harm any party. "But it will hamper the city's program to improve its service to the public because they (the officials in question) have been accustomed to accepting bribes," he said..

Bambang stressed that such corrupt officials would be sternly dealt with. (mas)
