Jokowi's Promise To Cut Slow Officials And Eliminate Extortion In Today's History, July 14, 2019

JAKARTA - Today, three years ago, July 14, 2019, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) introduced his new vision after being re-elected as Indonesia's number one person. He revealed this in a speech entitled Visi Indonesia at the Sentul International Convention Center (SICC), Bogor, West Java.

Jokowi highlighted many things. From firing officials slowly to beating up licensing extortion. All of that is considered as the estuary of failure. Investors failed to invest, while Indonesia got nothing.

Jokowi's victory in the 2019 presidential election contestation was greeted with great fanfare. The Indonesian people have again entrusted the leadership of Indonesia to Jokowi. Trust that wants to be paid immediately. He chose SICC as the right location to outline his vision and mission for the second period. He also delivered a speech entitled Visi Indonesia at the pulpit on July 14, 2019.

Jokowi said that the Indonesian people should be aware that the development of the global environment is very dynamic. This means that the phenomena that lie ahead will be full of challenges, risks, and high complexity.

Jokowi invites all Indonesian people to continue to find new models and ways. This step was taken to be able to conquer every problem with a new weapon as well. Innovation is the name. It's time to give up the old impractical ways, he thought.

Everything requires a serious commitment. Situations that are full of dynamics must be handled wisely. Development must be encouraged. So Indonesia has competitiveness. Dare to find out the problem, and dare to take decisive action.

"Global phenomena whose characteristics we know, are full of change, full of speed, full of risk, full of complexity, and full of surprises, which are often far from our calculations, often far from our calculations. Therefore, we must look for a new model, new ways, new values in finding solutions to every problem with innovations.”

“And we all have to want and we will be forced to do so. We have to leave the old ways, old patterns, both in managing organizations, in managing institutions, and in managing government. What is no longer effective, we make it effective! What is already inefficient, we make it efficient!” said Jokowi as broadcasted by the Official NET News on his Youtube.

He understands that getting change is not easy. A lot has to be done. Jokowi also tactics. Bureaucratic reform was chosen. The move aims to immediately open the widest possible investment faucet.

He fought all kinds of things that hindered investment. Among other things, Jokowi wants to cut extortion, slow officials, and problematic institutions.

“It is very important for us to reform our bureaucracy. Structural reform! To make the institution simpler, simpler, more agile! Careful! If the mindset, the bureaucratic mindset doesn't change, I'm sure I'll cut it!”

“The speed of service, the speed of granting permits, is the key to bureaucratic reform. I'll check it myself! I will control myself! As soon as I see that it is inefficient or ineffective, I will make sure I will cut it down, remove the official. If there is an institution that is useless and problematic, I will dissolve it!” Jokowi added at the time.
