Deputy Minister of Home Affairs Bima Arya Sugiarto supports regional heads who uphold meritocracy in leading their regions, including those currently echoed by the Governor of West Nusa Tenggara Lalu Muhamad Iqbal in the provincial government.
"We appreciate regional heads who uphold meritocracy in running the government," Bima said in Mataram, Saturday.
Bima Arya emphasized this when confirmed by reporters in response to the attitude of regional heads in mutating the leadership of regional apparatus organizations (OPD), including those in the NTB Provincial Government.
He emphasized that regional autonomy will not run without meritocracy. Therefore, in mutating the leadership of the OPD, he is very supportive if there are regional heads who see the capabilities and achievements of their apparatus, not based on social backgrounds, wealth, or connections.
"So, don't just get close without seeing the capacity and achievements," he said.

According to Bima, the Minister of Home Affairs, Tito Karnavian, strongly encourages local governments to immediately consolidate, especially in regulating the formation of OPD, so that they can support national priority programs and regional heads.
Therefore, if there is a request from the regional head for mutations, the Ministry of Home Affairs will speed up the request in order to adjust to the new predetermined formation.
"Because regional heads are users who use this apparatus to be mobilized to carry out acceleration programs," said Bima.
Mentioned the necessity for the transfer process to be carried out by regional heads after six months of being inaugurated. Bima emphasized that there is no need to wait for the next six months to be allowed to transfer or rotate ASN positions.
"Immediately, there is no need to wait six months, please submit later in the process by the Minister of Home Affairs because this must work quickly," he said.
The Governor of NTB Lalu Muhamad Iqbal has denied any political reasons behind the delay in the mutation of high-ranking Pratama officials within the provincial government which was originally scheduled to be held on Friday (25/4).
"The point is that there is no political reason and so on behind the delay. This is merely an administrative matter and it is my decision as governor. So, completely delay is just an administrative reason," he said at the NTB Governor's Office.
