Azis also asked the Government to immediately coordinate across Ministries and Institutions (K / L) to take steps to anticipate, supervise and ensure that civil servants and employees in the K / L environment avoid exposure to radicalism.

"Re-coordinate with BNPT together with Densus 88 to evaluate strategies for dealing with terrorists and extremists, considering that radicalism continues to spread and spread and is not indiscriminate," said Azis, Tuesday, April 20.

Then, he continued, the PAN-RB Ministry, the National Civil Service Agency (BKN) and Civil Service Officers (PPK) also needed to carry out massive outreach on the dangers of radicalism to ASN.

The Golkar Party politician also encouraged personnel development officials of all Ministries / Agencies to carry out guidance related to nationalism regarding the love of Pancasila, the 1945 Constitution, the Republic of Indonesia and anti-radical understanding and to increase discipline to their employees.

Previously, the Minister for Administrative Reform and Bureaucratic Reform (Menpan RB) Tjahjo Kumolo admitted that every month you have to deactivate the state civil apparatus (ASN) who are exposed to the ideology of radicalism or who are involved in corruption cases. He wants the problem not to hit civil servants anymore.

"Almost every month I decide in the Civil Service Agency there are still civil servants that I have not assigned or must stop. Because he understands radicalism and terrorism and does not understand areas prone to corruption, ”said Tjahjo in an online discussion, Sunday, April 18.
