Bureaucracy Reform

Rhenald Kasali and Faisal Basri, both are lecturers, give their ideas about bureaucracy reform. Still, they are outsiders. I think they never give a clue how to solve the problems of bureaucracy. They only speak in normative argument.

What Kasali told is only an impress to an action by Minister of Finance (MoF), his colleague at FEUI. Kasali states that Minister of Finance, Sri Mulyani, did a breakthrough. Mulyani, according to him, is dare to do something special in their office, especially to increase salary of government official (special for MoF's officials) enormously. In my opinion, this action doesn't enough. I haven't yet heard that by increasing salary, this will be followed with fighting against corruption.

What I hope to be done by Mulyani is that she tells to her staff, "I have increased your salary, if you are doing cheating, even you are just indicated, and I know, I would fire you". That is an action that I am waiting.
