Present as the keynote speaker, Prof. Agus Pramusinto (Chairman of the State Civil Apparatus Commission / Chairman of the Indonesian Association for Public Administration / Professor of the Department of Management and Public Policy UGM) delivered material on the Development of the ASN Merit System Based on Moral Core Values.
“Wherever we work, we are faced with the same principles, namely working professionally, serving well, respecting citizens, and maintaining integrity,” said Prof. Agus.
Furthermore, Prof. Agus explained that meritocracy is a government managed by people who are selected based on their abilities or skills (a combination of qualifications, competence and performance). This is different from a government based on a spoil system or political patronage. They were appointed because of the similarity of political affiliation, friendship or ethnic similarity and others.
