Jakarta. Vice President Boediono told visiting Singaporean Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean on Thursday that he was interested in learning more about how the city-state manages to recruit the best people for its government.
Boediono said he hoped to apply similar methods here in Indonesia to improve the notorious bureaucratic system.
“One of the discussion themes was how to attract middle- and upper-level officials from the private sector, the best employees in the middle of their careers, to become bureaucrats,” Boediono spokesman Yopie Hidayat said.
“This is difficult as the government has to compete in the market as an employer,” the spokesman added.
Boediono is part of a national team for bureaucratic reform, and the Singaporean system is known for its low level of corruption and highly efficient public services.
“Singapore is small, the government system is smaller, but there are things to learn,” Yopie said, quoting Boediono.
Bureaucratic reform has been a problem for the Indonesian government.
The national team commenced a pilot project within the Ministry of Finance that was initially considered to be proceeding well but was later undermined by the Gayus tax mafia case.
Previously, EE Mangindaan, the state minister for administrative reform and head of the national bureaucracy reform team, said all ministries were expected to complete their reforms by 2014.
