"In the last five years, we have achieved several feats, including the implementation of bureaucratic reform by all government institutions," he noted while presiding over a meeting of the National Bureaucratic Reform Steering Committee (KPRBN) in Jakarta on Monday.
Last year, he said, 34 provinces and a total of 270 districts and cities across Indonesia registered the predicate of B or above in the Bureaucratic Reform Index.
This signifies that the simplification of bureaucratic activities has been pursued by both the central and regional governments, he explained.
Amin highlighted that thematic bureaucratic reform initiatives have led to a decline in the poverty and inflation rates and an increase in investments and the use of domestically made products.
He further pointed out that President Joko Widodo's administration has continued to develop and open physical and digital public service malls to provide greater convenience to people in accessing government services.
"With all public services integrated into a one-stop place, people can access such services more conveniently," he said while referring to public service malls.
Speaking as chairperson of the KPRBN, Amin lauded all relevant parties for contributing to the progress made in bureaucratic reform, while noting that it is the fruit of strong commitment and sound synergy.
He, however, stressed that the progress should not be regarded as the end goal.
He then emphasized that Indonesia needs to continue to pursue bureaucratic reform to realize cleaner and more accountable governance.
"I hope that the implementation of this reform will continue and draw us closer to our dream of bringing a world-class bureaucracy to Indonesia," he said.
