REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) will soon dissolve 14 non-structural institutions (state auxiliary institutions or non-ministerial institutins) considered unnecessary, a minister said.
"The President has verbally agreed to the recommendations of the Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform Ministry," Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform Minister Yuddy Chrisnandi said here on Monday.
President Jokowi had assigned the Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform Minister to evaluate these 25 non-structural institutions that were set up based on presidential decrees.
Following the evaluation, the minister recommended the dissolution of 14 of these institutions.
According to Chrisnadi, among the factors underlying the recommendation are insufficient budgets, structural inefficiency, lack of authority and inefficient human resources.
However, he declined to reveal the names of these institutions, saying the president will make the announcement when the time comes.
"The names of the 14 institutions are being kept a secret," he said jokingly.
He said civil servants who currently work for the institutions will be shifted to other institutions, while freelance workers who will be discharged from the institutions will receive severance allowances from the government.
In the future, the ministry will also evaluate non-structural institutions established by virtue of law, he said.
If these are also found worth dissolving, the government will discuss the issue with the House of Representatives (DPR).
