JAKARTA, Public Relations of the Constitutional Court—The Constitutional Court (MK) organized a Technical Assistance Program for Improving SOP in the Registrar\'s Office and Secretariat General of the Constitutional Court. On the second day of the program, the participants practiced improving SOPs, directed by Bina Potensia Reforma consulting.

Nurman Jafar of Reforma Bina Potensi stated that SOPs must be prepared by direct executors based on organizational working structure (SOTK), job descriptions, or job analysis documents. In addition, the preparation of SOPs must be activity-oriented and not directly related to the substance.

Nurman added that the SOPs reflect certain types of activities: service, routine, and the assignment of duties and functions. General structure of tasks and functions of government agencies are planning, implementation, monitoring, evaluation, reporting, and assignment.

Nurman also said that one of the characteristics of routine activities is not initiated by the Petitioner. In general, he added, routine activities begin with the person in charge of implementing the activity and not the Petitioner. Furthermore, routine activities stem from internal party initiatives. Initiatives and triggers of routine activities come internally (person in charge of the implementation of activities).

"Planned [means] generally routine activities have been planned in advance (the implementation of tasks by the person responsible for carrying out the activities). They do not require certain conditions because in reality routine activities are a given so they do not require conditions for the executor of the activities. In fact, if not carried out, they require certain conditions," Nurman said on Friday afternoon (18/10/2019).

Assignment begins with an order because basically assignments begin with an order from an authorized supervisor. An activity comes at the initiative of internal parties: initiative and triggers of assignment activities originating internally (authorized superiors). In addition, assignments can be unplanned in advance because of certain conditions, or can be planned for regular assignments. "It does not require certain conditions because in reality the assignment does not require certain conditions so if it is not implemented it requires certain conditions," he explained.

During the closing, the Head of the Human Resources and Organization Bureau Teguh Wahyudi expressed his wish that although the technical assistance program had ended, the SOP improvement in the Registrar\'s Office and Secretariat General of the Constitutional Court would continue. “We will listen to the recommendations and use it for improving SOPs in the future. Hopefully in the future every program of the Constitutional Court has an SOP,” he said. (Lulu Anjarsari)
