State Budget Now Managed by 6.7 Million Civil Servants, BKN Creates Honesty Training System
The National Civil Service Agency (BKN), together with the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), the Ministry of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform (KemenPANRB), and the National Institute of Public Administration (LAN), has launched the ASN Berintegritas e-Learning system. This training system, designed to build honesty among civil servants (ASN), will support BKN’s latest pro-career ASN programme, which involves mentoring 643 government agencies and is integrated with the ASN Digital platform as a shared system between BKN and all ASN management agencies.
BKN Head Zudan Arif Fakrulloh stated that the ASN Berintegritas e-Learning system serves as a continuous learning platform for all civil servants and forms part of the agency mentoring programme. It will cover eight aspects of ASN management, including competency development, work culture, and strengthening institutional image, which are inseparable from the integrity of ASN as executors of government duties. He stressed that reinforcing ASN integrity is the primary foundation for realising professional governance. With the number of ASN reaching approximately 6.7 million people, building a culture of integrity will have a significant impact on the quality of government administration.
“ASN are the executors of state budget (APBN) and regional budget (APBD) management, public service providers, regulation drafters, and implementers of goods and services procurement. Therefore, integrity must be the main foundation so that risks in governance can be minimised,” Zudan said via a press release on Friday (19/6/2026). He also invited all ASN to build a culture of integrity through simple steps applicable in daily life. “Let us start with simple things: do not take items that are not ours and do not take something that is not our right. If all ASN uphold this principle, public trust in government institutions will grow stronger,” he asserted.
KPK Chairman Setyo Budiyanto assessed that digital learning is a strategic instrument in building an anti-corruption culture within the ASN environment. He emphasised that eradicating corruption cannot rely solely on enforcement but must also be strengthened through continuous education. “E-learning is a very powerful instrument as an integrity learning platform. Going forward, this learning is expected to become an important part of ASN career development so that a culture of integrity truly becomes embedded in every apparatus,” Setyo said.
At the launch of the ASN Berintegritas e-learning system, Minister of PANRB Rini Widyantini affirmed that ASN integrity must be built consistently and become part of apparatus competency development. “Today we are not merely launching a digital platform, but laying a moral foundation for the future of Indonesia’s bureaucracy. Integrity is not born instantly; it must be trained and built continuously,” she stated. Meanwhile, LAN Head Muhammad Taufiq said that strengthening integrity is part of the transformation of ASN learning through the Corporate University ecosystem. According to him, learning should no longer be merely certificate-oriented but must be able to change behaviour and improve ASN performance. “Learning must result in behavioural change. Therefore, integrity learning becomes part of the organisational culture built collaboratively through the digital learning ecosystem,” he explained.
