JAKARTA - Mayor of Metro Lampung Province, Wahdi, learned and shared about bureaucratic reform when he visited the office of the Governor of Central Java, Ganjar Pranowo. Wahdi came with quite a number of groups, such as the head of the department, hospital director and expert staff.

During the meeting, Wahdi asked many questions about Ganjar's secret in realizing bureaucratic reform in Central Java. He admitted that he wanted to apply Ganjar's precise stance on the Metro.

Ganjar said that seriousness was needed to implement bureaucratic reform. He said the main key is to eliminate corrupt practices in government and serve the people well.

“Moreover, Mr. Wali used to be an ASN, so he must know his condition. What must be changed, encouraged and maintained," said Ganjar in his written statement, Wednesday, March 30.

Ganjar said that the key to the success of bureaucratic reform is not to burden the ASN for deposits to the leadership. Establish good teamwork and relationships with subordinates.

"Prohibit the deposit, then it's done. ASN work well, they are calm and don't feel pressured. If that's the case, then all they have in mind is to serve the community," he explained.

After the bureaucratic reform is completed, services to the community must be realized. In Central Java, the principle held is to serve the community easily, cheaply and quickly as well as completely.

"Now, ASN in Central Java are competing for this service. Innovation and creativity continue to emerge as a way of serving the community. In the past, if there was a complaint, I would give 2×24 hours to respond. Now it's only 1×24 hours, even in a matter of hours the response has been,” he said.

Ganjar said, giving freedom to his staff to work. They are free to serve and bring out their own creativity and innovation.

Wahdi listened to Ganjar's explanation with enthusiasm. He was so enthusiastic, because he was able to meet Ganjar and share about good governance.

Wahdi really listened to what Ganjar said. How to be an independent leader, understand staff and maintain good relations between subordinates and leaders.

“Also what about the bureaucratic reform that is being carried out, giving the staff the freedom to innovate and have creativity. There should be no pressures, so the values that arise are purely because of pride. I have learned many things and can apply them in Metro to provide the best service to the community," he concluded.
