Constitutional Court Inspector Pawit Hariyanto had previously delivered his report. “The Government Regulation Number 60 of 2008 on the Government Internal Control System (SPIP) has mandated every government agency to hold SPIP in its organization, including the Constitutional Court,” he said.

In order to carry out the mandate, the Inspectorate as the leading sector of the implementation of SPIP cooperates with BPKP to achieve three objectives: uniforming direction and perception in the implementation of SPIP in all work units within the Registrar\'s Office and the Secretariat General of the Constitutional Court, providing guidance on the processes and stages of implementing SPIP, and providing references in procedures for filling out documents and preparing reports for work units in the implementation of SPIP. He affirmed the Inspectorate’s commitment in facilitating the Court to achieve those objectives.

The technical assistance is a real effort to realize that commitment. The 52 participants are persons in charge, coordinators, and representatives of SPIP task force members within the Registrar\'s Office and the Secretariat General of the Constitutional Court.

Concluding his report, Pawit reported that in 2018, the Court’s SPIP maturity value was at 3.00 or “Defined,” meaning that the Constitutional Court has met the 2015–2019 RJPMN (National Medium Term Development Plan). “However, we hope we all can agree on improving the SPIP maturity value,” he said.
