THE CRUCIAL PROBLEMS IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT

Indonesia is the biggest country in ASEAN, who has 514 local governments, in 2016 ministry of internal affairs have an assignment for controlling the regions, so that we have identified five crucial problems within implementing local government such as:

1.    Weaknesses of integrity in order implementing local government 
2.    Abuse of power by local leader
3.    The Planning document and local budget NOT consent to make prosperous region.
4.    The quality to manage local budgeting still lower
5.    Local government disobeyed to the high regulations

I am try to break down this problem one by one,

Integrity

The weakness integrity in implementing local government based on data amount of 43.882 % or 40.60 percent required LHKPN who doesn’t report LHKPN to corruption eradication commission (KPK). Hopefully, all leader in local government such as governor, leader of municipality To report LHKPN Gradually. Actually, integrity not depend just to report document, but in real life the leader must clear and clean to take over everything, government has many tasks to make the prosperous regions, all the apparatus must have same integrity to serve and service people, indeed there same like us need right also but as the civil servant this is the priority.

Abuse of power

Many of leader use their power to make his own business, that mean the leader make the regulations without think the effect in future, this become the worst ethic by leader, absolutely president Jokowi show off the good attitude, mental revolution become his innovation in order to service people, as you know I am not members his party but the president has good political style so that many people respect to his, I have heard information from youtube but I forgot the channel, he revealed Jokowi is the most influence leader in the word but also I forgot what number, majority leader use his power in permit sector: we can see many local reg. doesn’t suitable with the higher regulation yet. The permit’s procedure hasn’t good standard, the amount of money which has to save haven’t regulation, and then the business process not well.

Planning document

When the government want to implementing development, the first step it must have the planning document, which this document like dossier will become references, Many types of document such as RPJP, RPJMD, RKP, RTRW and etc. Those documents very important, the worst problem who make stuck development that document not synchronization with the central planning, many problems still up to in local government such as regional developing planning documents have not become the main basis, they have differences between planning document and budget document, so to solve this problem central government must firm to control, check and revision that, currently supervisory apparatus of government institution already made, properly this agency involved not just to controlling but also in process planning and budgetin.
