The National Bureaucracy Reform Team on Monday said that the government
should enact a moratorium on recruiting new civil servants.
“We
have suggested to the vice president that openings for civil servant
candidates should be halted for six months,” said Erry Riyana
Hardjapamekas, the head of the team, at the Vice Presidential Palace.
“Within that time, we will be able to study if hiring is necessary.”
The team will conduct a study to find the best mechanism for hiring civil servants.
Erry
said that the moratorium would be aimed at improving the system and to
avoid unqualified workers holding positions in state institutions.
He said that the team believed that the high rate of recruitment was putting burdening the state's finances.
“The quantity of public servants is not always equivalent to the efficiency of public service,” he said.
The
team, Erry said, suggested that the government thoroughly evaluate the
organizational structures of central and regional government
institutions.
Finance Minister Agus Martowardoyo recently said
that the number of civil servants, at 4.7 million, was too high and that
it was burdening state and regional budgets.
Last week, the
Finance Ministry said that they would conduct a productivity study to
determine whether civil servants should be granted early retirement or a
golden handshake.
