Bureaucratic reform in Indonesia has been going on for almost 20 years. A number of targets have been achieved, but there is still homework that needs to be completed immediately.

Although the ratio of civil servants in Indonesia is already ideal, the condition is not evenly distributed to the regional level. There are 15 out of 38 provinces that have civil servant ratios above 1.5 percent. These 15 provinces are located outside of Java and are dominated by areas in central and eastern Indonesia. Conversely, the situation is different at the city government level, where 54 out of 93 cities have a civil servant ratio below 1.5 percent.
The continued preservation of public service performance amidst limited number of civil servants is not without reason. Those who also have a vital role in maintaining government performance are the honorary personnel. Most honorary personnel are the front-line guard of basic services, such as teachers and medical workers, both centrally and locally. This is also the basis for the reason local governments recruit honorary personnel.
The government's promise not to conduct massive layoffs against honorary staff is not without reason. If such a policy is"recklessly" implemented, the government must anticipate an increase in unemployment and a decrease in the quality of public services. In the long term, the issue that may arise is a disruption in the stability of the domestic economy and politics.
