JAKARTA - The Minister for State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform (MenPAN RB) Tjahjo Kumolo said he would cut officials at echelon III and IV levels in his ministry.

Tjahjo said that the echelon cuts were in accordance with President Joko Widodo's direction some time ago when he was appointed President of Indonesia for the second term of the 2019-2024 term.

"This month in my ministry, Echelon III and Echelon IV will be trimmed, hopefully this will become another example," said Tjahjo in his presentation at the Central Government National Coordination Meeting and Forkopimda at the Sentul International Convention Center (SICC), West Java, Wednesday. , November 13th.

The echelon downsizing, he said, also aims to accelerate services and licensing as desired by President Jokowi. However, in streamlining the echelon, Tjahjo will be careful about transferring to other functional positions.

"I will be careful because not all of the echelon officials can be transferred to functional," he said.

Does not affect income

President Joko Widodo has also asked the state civil apparatus (ASN) not to worry about trimming these echelons. He said, the echelon trimming was only intended to accelerate the bureaucratic process in Indonesia, not to reduce the income of officials in the ministry.

"We don't want to cut income, income, we just want to cut speed in deciding. Don't twist it anywhere," Jokowi said in front of regional heads and other regional officials when opening the National Coordination Meeting.

This cut, said Jokowi, is important because the bureaucracy is currently complicated. In fact, he said the circulation of one permit could take four months. He knows this because of his experience.

"I once followed the letter from where the Echelon IV to Echelon III went around, how many tables. How do you want it to be forwarded," he concluded.
