JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Legal, Human Rights, Immigration, and Corrections Yusril Ihza Mahendra emphasized that preventing maladministration is part of efforts to eradicate corruption.
"Misconduct or abuse of power in the administration of government administration is the beginning of corruption in any place where state administration is carried out in society," said Yusril at the presentation of the Indonesian Ombudsman's Opinion: Public Service Maladministration Assessment 2025 in Jakarta, Thursday, January 29, reported by ANTARA.
He also gave examples of irregularities in the procurement of goods and services, to the difficult management of permits in order to get bribes or nepotism in service.
Various irregularities, he said, reflected maladministration which provided opportunities for criminal acts of corruption.
He reminded that maladministration not only harms the community, but also has the potential to violate the rights of citizens to the services they should receive.
"We must remain vigilant against the fact that maladministration is often the beginning of crime, especially corruption crime. Many corruption cases start with maladministration," he said.
Even so, Yusril emphasized that the task of preventing maladministration was not solely the task of the Ombudsman, but a joint task of state organizers.
Yusril said that maladministration was an act or behavior that was against the law beyond the authority, using authority for other purposes outside the provisions of the law that had been established.
According to him, this includes negligence or neglect of legal obligations in the provision of public services carried out by state and government organizers which cause material and immaterial losses to the community or individuals.
Thus, he continued, maladministration includes various deviations in the public service process, ranging from procedural deviations, prolonged delays, non-compliance with standards, abuse of authority, procrastination without clarity, incompetent actions, to discriminatory behavior in providing services to the public.
"These kinds of practices undermine the principle of the rule of law because they show that the apparatus does not comply with the law and the ethics of administering the state and government administration," said Yusril.
