Former chief economic minister Rizal Ramli said that the government had better cancel its remuneration program in the finance ministry before it implemented the bureaucratic reforms in the first place.
"The remuneration program should be carried out only if the bureaucratic reform program has been successful marked by improvement in the system, supervision and performance," the former minister said in discussion on remuneration, corruption and tax mafia here over the weekend.r />
He said that remuneration should be provided only for officials who made achievements and show good performance, not all employees across the board.
Regarding the remuneration at the finance ministry, Rizal said that the government had acted "foolishly" in agreeing to give finance ministry employees special remunerations on top of their salaries.
He was referring to the arrest of tax official Gayus Tambunan for involvement in a money laundering case worth Rp25 billion.
"With the special remuneration, the impression is created as if finance ministry employees are superior to government employees at the other ministries," Rizal said.
In reality, he said, there could be no "upper caste" or "lower caste" in the civil servants` corps. "There is no special class of civil servants," he added.
Rizal expressed regret that the government had continued giving special incentives to finance ministry employees by raising their salaries to a level nine times that of the rest of the civil servants corps while it had nothing to show to the public that progress had been made in the finance ministry`s bureaucratic reform.
