JAKARTA (MKRI) — Forty-five staff members of the Constitutional Court (MK) attended the 51th anniversary of the Indonesian Civil Servants Corps (KORPRI) at Istora Senayan, Jakarta on Tuesday, November 29, 2022. State civil apparatuses (ASN) who represent their ministries/agencies were also in attendance.
Minister of Home Affairs Tito Karnavian led the ceremony on behalf of President Joko Widodo. In his speech, he said the event was very important to see what KORPRI had been doing for 51 years and what would do in the future. The corps, he said, has made a lot of contribution to the state and society. Despite this fact, there are still quite a number of its members who committed criminal acts. In addition, the Finance and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) had findings related to violations committed by ASNs.
To the thousands of ASNs from ministries/agencies who attended the ceremony, Tito said it was a moment for adaptation in the midst of changes in society and the world. He reminded them that if KORPRI was not able to win public trust, public services would be obstructed. There has to be a change of mindset to being public servants, he said.
He added that changes in information technology would bring the third wave of revolution. He said how these changes gave rise to citizen journalism, where the public can report events, including bad conduct by KORPRI members.
Meanwhile, KORPRI executive board chairman Zudan Arif Fakrullah said in his report that KORPRI members must have a change of mindset in serving the community. “KORPRI must serve the community wholeheartedly by changing the mindset that they are not to serve ASNs but the whole community,” he said.
He also revealed that, based on Law No. 5 of 2014 on the State Civil Apparatus (ASN), KORPRI received reinforcement as the only professional corps for ASNs. He said this ceremony was the culmination of a series of activities celebrating KORPRI’s anniversary.
