All elements of the Indonesian judiciary are urged to implement important points resulted from the Supreme Court’s National Working Meeting (Rakernas) that was held 11-14 October 2010 in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan.

“All elements in the Supreme Court including DG of Badilag (Religious Courts Body) and all Indonesian religious courts should take immediate actions to follow up the results of Rakernas,” DG of Badilag, Wahyu Widiana, said when chairing a meeting on the socialization of Rakernas, Tuesday morning (19/10) at Badilag’s meeting room.

“We (DG Badilag) also have an obligation to oversee bureaucracy reforms in the religious courts to run well. That’s not an easy task to do,” Wahyu added. .

“The successful key lies in five points of the Supreme Court’s Quick Wins, coupled with improved quality of public services,” he said.

The Supreme Court has set up Quick Wins to accelerate the bureaucracy reform of the Court. The Quick Wins consists of five points that must be implemented. The five points are (1) Judgment Publication, (2) The Usage of Information Technology, (3) Judge’s Code of Conduct, (4) PNBP (State’s Non-tax Revenue), and (5) Analyses and Performance Evaluation.

“According to the Minister of State Apparatus Empowerment (Menpan), there is also one more point which should be realized by courts. That is improving the quality of public service,” Wahyu stated.

Wahyu hopes all lines in DG of Badilag and Indonesian religious courts to support and immediately implement what is required by the quick wins. (c)
