Recruitment of civil servants

Recruitment of civil servants

From Bisnis Indonesia

State Minister of Administrative Reforms Feisal Tamin was right when briefing officials of echelons I and II in Banten's provincial administration recently.

He stressed that the recruitment of civil servants must not be linked to a person's ethnicity, religion, racial origin or ideology as in this respect the priority lies in his capability and professionalism.

Unfortunately, the recruitment of civil servants within ministries or regional administrations, despite setting standard requirements such as age, diploma and other supporting factors, still requires a local residential identity card and that the candidate is indigenous to the place where the civil service job is being offered.

Aren't civil servants expected to serve the public regardless of any regional, party or ideological labeling?
