Abstract

Keywords:
Bureaucratic Reform;
Good Governance;
Political Law; Prophetic
Concepts

This research was conducted to analyse the political politics of bureaucratic
reform. The politics of law in reforming government bureaucracy is actually useful
for making improvements so that it becomes a public servant and realizing good
governance. The problem with corruption, collusion and nepotism in the
bureaucracy, is not because the legal umbrella in Indonesia is not strong but
subjectively every state civil servant or civil servant does not yet have the full
characteristics as in the prophetic concept. Through normative juridical research
methods, this study tries to explore prophetic concepts to realize good governance.
The results showed that it was hoped that this prophetic concept could become its
future social ideals and as a guidebook for each ASN and PNS in its soul in
carrying out its public service duties. Prophetic focuses on principles of behaviour
that originate from religious values. So that all executive, legislative and judicial
branches can make moral ethics universally from the prophetic concept in
providing services to the community in order to realize good governance.

INTRODUCTION
Bureaucratic reform in Indonesia actually still expects the government to
regulate and be directly involved in all the affairs of its citizens. In this position, not
only is the government expected to be a pioneer in realizing good governance, but
subjectively all bureaucratic instruments protect the public. This is where the
government is used as an asylum center for the community to be served in a fair,
honest, open, efficient and effective service in government bureaucracy.
Those who run the government or are called bureaucratic machines, are the
State Civil Apparatus, which up to now have occupied structural and functional

positions. In the ministry there is a secretary general, there is a director general, there
is an irjen. In the province there is a Regional Secretary, there is a Regional Election
Supervisory Body, there is a Regional Development Planning Agency, and so on, as
well as those in the district / city (Sudarsa 2013). Those who run the government are
commonly referred to as Trias Politika. These are the three important constitutional
joints which should be the joints of state and government administrators including
the reform efforts that are carried out (Manan 2003). So that not only build a good
bureaucratic system, but Human Resources (HR) are of high quality and have the
qualities that exist in the prophetic understanding (Faith, Science, Constancy and
Trust) which symbolizes the noble qualities of the prophets.
Reform through the legal field primarily focused on serving the community is a
necessity when democratic mechanisms are truly implemented in a pluralistic society.
The administration of government based on established law and making it a social
engineer is not seen from the recognition of culture and customs, but again
emphasizes the outward characteristics of state administration officials and the state
civil apparatus or Aparatur Sipil Negara (ASN) in areas in the executive, legislative and
legislative powers the judiciary through the prophetic concept.
So in this writing the author wants to examine the legal politics of bureaucratic
reform in realizing good governance from a prophetic perspective. At the point of
writing, the author will look at, study and describe the extent of legal politics in the
field of bureaucratic reform that has been carried out by the Government, including
prophetic concepts in the HR of the State Civil Apparatus according to the laws and
regulations concerning ASN, Public Services, Medium-Term Development Plans or
Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Menengah (RPJM) 2015-2019 and evaluation of ASN
bureaucratic reform according to the prophetic concept. Contribution of this
research will give a good governance habit based on prophetical law.
METHOD
The research method used in this paper is normative juridical research, using the
statutory approach (statue approach) and the conceptual approach. The type of data
used is secondary data that is obtained indirectly (Marzuki 2015). This secondary data
includes primary legal materials, secondary legal materials, and tertiary legal materials.
The primary legal material used in this study was obtained from statutory regulations,
specifically Law Number 5 of 2014 concerning Civil Servants and other relevant
laws. Secondary legal material in the form of literature books, research results, papers
from seminars, journals, newspapers, and internet. Data analysis in this research is
analytical descriptive, to help the writer find the right conclusion.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Prophetic and Its Relation to Bureaucracy Reform
Prophetic social science is an idea put forward by Kuntowidjoyo, a Professor of
historical Sciences at the Faculty of Cultural Sciences Universitas Gadjah Mada.
Kuntowidjoyo is a prolific writer, a scholar of transformative thinkers, his thinking is
very unique and genuine. His thoughts received positive responses from various
groups in Indonesia, both personally and institutionally. Prophetic Social Sciences
were also adopted in the construction of various scientific disciplines, ranging from
Prophetic Political Science, Prophetic Arts, Prophetic Interpretation, and so on
(Dimyati et al. 2018). In the field of law, a Prophetic Law also emerged. Personal
responses to these problems can be mentioned such as Hedi Ahimsya Putra,
Syamsuddin, Busyro Muqoddas, Khudzaifah Dimyati, Absori, Kelik Wardion,
Ridwan, and Saepul Rochman, etc (Dimyati et al. 2018). This prophetic is motivated
by two things, namely:
a. The need to formulate a new "theology" in Indonesia, as a critique of
"traditional" theology which is considered inappropriate;
b. The existence of a crisis, which not only occurs in knowledge, but also in
society, so that the social sciences (both academic social science and critical
social science) that exist today are observing stagnation (Wardiono 2014).
Prophetic ideals indirectly form the basis for bureaucrats and bureaucrat
employees to carry out their duties and functions to follow and emulate the noble
qualities of the prophets. The prophetic concept according to Busyro Muqoddas in
the UII Law Masters seminar with the theme of Leadership Crisis, explains if the
prophetic concept cannot be released from Pancasila and the Preamble of the 1945
Constitution (Universitas Islam Indonesia 2017). he Pancasila and Opening of the
1945 Constitution explain 5 (five) precepts that can be interpreted as prophetic
elaboration in bureaucratic life:
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.

Belief in the one and only God;
Just and civilized humanity;
The unity of Indonesia;
The people who are led by wisdom in consultation / representation;
Social justice for all the people of Indonesia.

So that the meaning of the values of Pancasila which has a close relationship in
the prophetic concept in carrying out the bureaucracy that must be owned by office
holders from the top to the bottom structure must have integrity which is considered

very important as a moral, religious principle and its presence can be felt its benefits
in the middle society and daily life in a bureaucratic environment.
The problem faced to carry out this prophetic concept is to realize the character
and improvement in the realm of the constitution. The point is, the bureaucracy
must be improved to provide a good service to the community, acting in a
bureaucracy must possess prophetic minimal nature of the leader and high moral
integrity, mechanisms for staff recruitment was good without bribery, acts
dishonestly making a deal hidden in hiding, choosing people not because of their
intellect, abilities and moral integrity but rather the interests of those who use their
positions to elect the closest people (in the broadest sense).
In the field of state administration, the government guarantees the continuity of
government by serving the citizens. The purpose of the state as the ideals of the
Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution is to create welfare (walfare state) to the
community. So the state positioning itself as a Public service (organizer of public
interest) is a term of coverage covering all the roles and functions of the government
as a political state (political state) or as a legal state (state of law) as well as an
administrative state (administrative state) (Lubis 2008).
Connected with "Development" as a continuous and continuous effort to create
a planned and directed welfare of the people, the government in theadministrative or
sevice state plays key roles, among others:
a. As a stabilizer (monitor);
b. As an innovator (reformer);
c. As a vanguard (voorlooper)(Lubis 2008).
Furthermore, reform essentially involves four aspects. First, reforms contain
links to innovation and transformation. Second, successful reforms require systemic
and broad-based changes, and these changes must be done by heart careful and
planned Third, the aim of reform is to achieve efficiency and effectiveness Fourth,
reform must be able to cope with environmental changes.Thus the scope of reform
is not limited to processes and procedures, but also links changes at the level of
structure and attitudes and behaviour (Huda 2005).
Public reform has become just as important as personal reform, especially in
close relation to government reform activities.In modern times, and at an
accelerating pace, government machinery creates and mass-produces programs.
programs, changes and reforms, if we look at law and government government
mainly as a structure, as a distributor, the law and the government should respond,
not initiate, react rather than produce and anticipate (Friedman 2017).

So bureaucratic reform, especially in the attitudes and behavior in serving the
community, lies in the development of human resources in this case all work tools in
providing services in any agency. Also includes the distribution of rights from the
community in the field of public services. The obligations of office holders or the
government must have a responsive view of the response from the community
through regulations, both those that regulate (regulatory), are policy regulations
(beschiking) or internal regulations (self body rules)(Johan 2018).

Political Law in the Field of Bureaucratic Reform of State Civil Apparatus
Based on Prophetic Law Legal
Politics or legal policy that will or has been implemented nationally by the
Government of Indonesia which includes: first, the development of law with the
core of making and updating legal materials so that they can be in accordance with
needs; secondly, the implementation of existing legal provisions including the
affirmation of the functions of the institution and the development of law enforcers.
From this understanding, it can be seen that the politics of law covers the process of
making and implementing laws that can indicate the nature and direction in which
the law will be built and enforced (MD 2017).
Moestapadidjaja AR and Sedamaryanti Sadjijono use the term good governance,
this government departs from the approach of the functional aspects of the word
governance namely whether the government has functioned effectively and
efficiently, and contains connotations of effective performance related to public
management (Resen 2015).
Basically, the political law of the government through its bureaucratic reform
has been apparent after years of Indonesian reform through the implementation of
general principles of good(governancealgemene beginselen van behoorlijk bestuur)
with the aim of avoiding various practices of corruption, collusion and nepotism
within the government body so that can be created not only good government but
also clean government.
Bureaucratic reform can also be seen in the 2014-2019 Medium Term
Development Plan (RPJM). The RPJM explains the targets to be realized, namely
improving the quality of bureaucracy and good governance in supporting the
improvement of competitiveness and performance of national development in
various fields. This is indicated by: the establishment of effective and efficient
bureaucratic institutions; increase the capacity of managing bureaucratic reforms; the
implementation of the State Civil Apparatus Law consistently in all government
agencies; and improving the quality of public services. policy and strategy direction

a. Institutional restructuring of government bureaucracy to be effective, efficient,
and synergistic, which is pursued through strategies: improvement of government
institutional design (Ministries, LPNK and LNS); internal and regional
government internal institutional structuring which includes evaluating / auditing
the organization, structuring tasks, functions and authorities, simplifying the
structure vertically and / or horizontally; and strengthening of synergy between
institutions at the central and regional levels.
b. Strengthening the capacity of the management of national bureaucratic reforms
pursued by strategies including: strengthening institutional and governance
management of national bureaucratic reforms; structuring regulations and
policies in the field of the state apparatus; expansion and facilitation of RB
implementation in local government agencies; and refinement of the evaluation
system for the implementation of the RBN.
c. The implementation of transparent, competitive and merit-based State Civil
Service (ASN) management carried out through strategies include: determining
the formation and procurement of CPNS carried out very selectively according
to the priority needs of development and agencies; the application of employee
recruitment and selection systems that are transparent, competitive, based on
information and communication technology (ICT); strengthening the system and
quality of education and training; application of promotion systems in an open,
competitive, and competency-based manner supported by more effective
supervision by the State Civil Apparatus Commission (KASN); application of
employee performance management systems; and strengthening the national
staffing information system.
Improving the quality of public services pursued through strategies, including:
ensuring the consistent implementation of Law Number 25 of 2009 concerning
Public Services; encouraging public service innovation; increasing community
participation in public services; and strengthening the capacity and effectiveness of
public service supervision (Kementerian Perencanaan Pembangunan Nasional/
Badan Perencanaan Pembangunan Nasional 2014).
Increasing the capacity of the bureaucracy through Bureaucratic Reform through
RPJM 2015-2019 is found when in carrying out public services the government
conceptualizes the following sections (Kementerian Perencanaan Pembangunan

h. accountable for its actions and performance to the public;
i. has the ability to carry out government policies and programs;
j. provide services to the public in an honest, responsive, fast, appropriate,
accurate, efficient, effective, and courteous manner;
k. prioritizing high quality leadership;
l. respect for communication, consultation and cooperation;
m. give priority to the achievement of results and encourage employee
performance;
n. fostering equality in work; and
o. enhance the effectiveness of democratic government systems as career
system devices.
Based on Article 23 of the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 5 of 2014
concerning State Civil Apparatus, Broadly speaking in prophetic view actually refers
to the noble qualities that must exist in a position holder (Officials and Employees of
the Civil Service) in carrying out official duties with dedication, honesty, awareness,
and responsibility, showing integrity and exemplary attitude, behavior, words and
actions to everyone, both inside and outside the agency.
According to data cited from the KPK Bureaucratic Anti-Corruption Education
Center, it must often defeat its integrity by accepting bribes, lures, gratuities or
whatever to win the impact of corruption on government bureaucracy that causes
inefficient public services, in this PERC (ranking Political and Economic Risk
Consultancy). Indonesia ranks number two worst in Asia. Ranking is presented with
the best number 1 to 10 worst standards (Anti-Corruption Learning Center (ACLC)
2020).
Since 2017, the Corruption Eradication Commission through the Directorate of
Education and Community Services together with LSP P-II KPK has designed an
anti-corruption competency certification system for the position of expert in building
integrity (Pratama 2017). Expert Competence of Integrity Builders has a strategic role
in building a national-standard integrity system in efforts to eradicate corruption in
government agencies, business actors, and other stakeholders. Ensure that the private
sector complies with anti-corruption regulations and policies, especially bribes.
Providing direct benefits for stakeholders (Anti-Corruption Learning Center (ACLC)
2020).
Prophetic emphasis actually leads to the behavior of HR which reflects a person's
subjectivity. The point is, in the subjective order of behavior, integrity, morality and
attitude are required to be perfect, but in practice the desire to enrich oneself
sometimes can not be released. For example, it refers to the improvement of the

bureaucracy because it is based that the bureaucracy which is a public servant makes
the elements of the state civil apparatus very sensitive to KKN problems.
From this fact it appears that basically the bureaucracy in the public service
sector shows if in terms of internal and external supervision is not carried out
properly. If bureaucratic reform is aimed at providing services to people without
conditions (facilitation payments), it is certainly procedural because professional and
transparent performance can be quickly carried out. However, if the culture has been
indoctrinated by the community that "I have to" or "Pakewuh in Javanese" just for
sweat money, then facilitation payments are common, for some people it can be a
burden to follow this bureaucratic flow, but for them which has financial potential,
this kind of bureaucratic procedure is a solution so that all its needs can be quickly
carried out.
However, the influence of dynamics and changes in society, both arising from
the development of legal awareness (rechtsbewustzijn) and so on, the citizens are
increasingly aware of their rights and obligations; As an impetus for the dynamics
and awareness of the state, people increasingly understand the nature of democracy.
Thus, the government actually does not become the owner of the state and is not the
master of the people but the government is a servant to the people (Public Servant)
(Lubis 2008).
The extortion culture in every bureaucracy has actually been resolved after the
issuance of general regulations through Perpres No. 87 of 2016 concerning the Clean
Sweeping Task Force in the bureaucratic area. Based on Article 4 Presidential
Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 87 Year 2016 Regarding the Wild
Sweeping Clean Sweeping Task Force, in carrying out the duties and functions of the
extortion Saber Task Force has the authority:
a. Establish a system of prevention and eradication of illegal payments;
b. collect data and information from ministries / agencies and other parties
related to using information technology;
c. coordinate, plan, and carry out illegal eradication eradication operations;
d. perform hand-catching operations;
e. provide recommendations to the heads of ministries / institutions and heads
of regional governments to impose sanctions on extortion actors in
accordance with statutory provisions;
f. provide recommendations for the formation and implementation of duties of
extortion Saber units in each agency providing public services to the
leadership of ministries / institutions and heads of local governments; and
g. evaluating illegal levies.

The Reform of the State Civil Apparatus is focused on the creation of a state
apparatus that is professional, political, neutral, accountable, free of KKN, and won
the trust of the public. Agenda that is necessary in the context of bureaucratic reform
of the state apparatus is described as follows:
a. Implement an apparatus performance appraisal system objectively;
b. Apply the Apparatus Compensation Scale based on the burden of
responsibility and performance of the State Secretariat;
c. Implement a dual pension system (pay-as-you-go and self-paying) for civil
servants and JES, and a self-paying pension system for PNTT)
d. Increase the mobility of civil servants to overcome silomentality " or" frog
mentality under the shell "through the placement of JES in all regions of
Indonesia (Jeddawi 2009).
Based on the awareness of the position holders, prophetic must be applied
before the recruitment or before a person serves as the state civil servants or civil
servants. The concept of bureaucratic reform has normally been implemented.
However, in the aspect of evaluation based on the 2015-2019 government program,
the ASN Law and the Public Service Law will be evaluated based on the basis of sein
(reality on the ground) above.
Evaluation of Bureaucratic Reform based on the Prophetic Approach
State'sas an abstract intensity, which appears to be elements of the state in the
form of people, territory, and government. One element of the state is the people.
People who live in the territory of the country become residents of the country
concerned. Citizens are part of the population of a country, citizens have relations
with their country. Its position as a citizen creates a relationship in the form of the
role of rights, and obligations that are reciprocal (Hamidi and Lutfi 2010).
But at the level of citizens' rights, it can be said that the state is a public servant.
This is mentioned as in the written constitution Indonesia mandates the position of
citizens Article 28H of the 1945 Constitution reads:
a. Everyone has the right to live in physical and spiritual prosperity, to live and
to have a good and healthy environment and to have health services;
b. Every person has the right to get special facilities and treatment to obtain
equal opportunities and benefits in order to achieve equality and fairness;
c. Every person has the right to social security that enables his or her full
development as a dignified human;
d. Every person has the right to have private ownership rights and private
property rights and these rights may not be taken arbitrarily by anyone.

Public services actually make the central and regional governments run
administrative activities to run the wheels of government. The quality of human
resources who fill positions in the bureaucracy must be good. The key words of the
two words "service and public" are interpreted as serving or being served, while the
public can be interpreted as a unitary group of people in a certain place or region
(Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia) If public service is said to be the duty of
the government then it cannot be separated as the authority of the government,
because the government (central and regional executives) is the one who carries out
government.
Regarding the government requirements, good and clean governance must be
created. To be able to create it, it cannot only be left to the quality of a leader. If the
leader is honest, it will be good. But when the elected are dishonest leaders, the
people can become victims of corruption. Here it means a system that is steady, legal
certainty, and not merely based on the compassion of the leader (Sudarsa 2013).
Improving the quality of human resources to obtain adequate human resources
(SD) requires structuring and recruitment systems for personnel, payroll systems,
conducting training, and improving welfare (Sudarsa 2013). Evaluation forms of
bureaucratic reform if prophetic law is used as a basis for viewing the legal
instruments of the RPJM , ASN Law, and Public Service Law, what needs to be seen
is the efficiency and effectiveness of the organizers to conduct the recruitment of
ASN and PNS. Some points that become the basis for seeing other than the
requirements such as intelligence, namely morality, ethics, integrity, persuasion
ability. It can be said if it meets these absolute requirements, the organizers can focus
more on recruiting candidates for ASN or PNS.
In prophetic areas, in addition to prefentive supervision and repressive
supervision according to the concept of supervision, the supervisor is in himself,
because the circle of the noble qualities of the prophet can be a barrier wall for not
acting in violation of positive laws or violating religious law. The practice can be said
as a new way to avoid KKN practices. In addition, public services in the bureaucratic
area are spared from ineffective services, inefficient services, not fast services, and
even avoid costs beyond those determined by the government as administrative
procedures.
As a result, it does not rule out the possibility of corrupt transactions in it
involving bureaucrats to sell state policies for personal, family or group interests.
Whereas according to Max Weber, one of the characteristics of an ideal bureaucracy
is that every official is not permitted to carry out duties related to his position and the
resources of his institution for personal and family interests (Kementerian
Pertahanan Republik Indonesia 2014).

There is a pull that can cause a person who is given the authority to perform
actions that benefit himself. Sometimes this is inevitable if someone does not have a
principle or determination to be honest and pure. The benefit of learning prophetic
concepts is actually not just to be a barrier wall for not being able to see or avoid
selfish behavior. But rather to be a grip to remind yourself.
When referring to the direction of government policy (legal policy) to avoid
intervening interests, Bagir Manan argues that the bureaucracy in Indonesia is less
independent of political forces. In order to set or achieve political goals, the
bureaucracy is always seen as an effective instrument and force for organizing and
strengthening a political power. This kind of bureaucratic politicization has more
negative effects than benefits. Political development can dominate a variety of
decisions and actions rather than consideration of the public interest or public
service. Can also occur collusion between bureaucracy with various forces and
activities outside of bureaucracy on behalf of political solidarity" and so forth. For
the bureaucracy itself, the politicization can be used as a bureaucratic apparatus itself,
the politicization can be used as a means of obtaining various "protections" arbitrary
(Manan 2003).
From the above facts, the solution that can be done is to simplify services that
must undergo some complicated procedural, especially for most people. There must
be courage and sincerity to fully entrust a type of service to one particular agency.
The concentration of this kind of service authority contains various positive aspects,
such as facilitating service seekers, facilitating accountability, can be faster, easier and
so on. Then a systematic planning regarding the development of human resources,
both regarding quality, karis guarantee, welfare, and so forth (Manan 2003). In order
to avoid finding fraudulent individuals, a good recruitment mechanism based on
prophetic concepts is needed. The guiding steps are as follows:
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.

Formulate indicators of dishonesty and evidence of dishonesty;
Establish an administration of honesty or dishonesty;
Conduct checks in relation to the quality of honesty administration;
Use past administrative records to base honesty management;
Use outside resources to ensure honesty and achieve the minimum
requirements that must be present in the entity;
f. Select anti corruption employees with professional criteria. Research track
records individual, get rid of dishonest ones. Enact new rules against
nepotism;
g. Anti-corruption leadership, exemplary leaders who change the attitude of
subordinates. Vocal and communicative leadership with the community
about commitment to eradicating corruption(Jeddawi 2009).

If guided by ethics in carrying out governance, especially in government
administration, ethics can be broadly defined, namely, administrative ethics includes
the application of moral principles to behavior in officials in organizations
(Administrative ethics involves the application of moral principles to the conduct of
officials in the organization). The ethics of government administration because it
involves people's lives, people's welfare, and continuous progress. Thus, ethics can
give birth to the principles of standards, guidelines, and virtues as well (Gie 1993).
However, in the bureaucratic mover order it is not a public secret if morals and
ethics are limited to the work area whereas beyond that morals and ethics can be
abandoned and will be carried over to the area of decision making or attitudes in
public service later. On the other hand, even though humans are not prophets or just
ordinary people, morality must be present on the subjects of state administrators at
the structural level from the top to the bottom.
Good morals or morals, that is, the value system becomes the principles of
behavior that originate from the Qur'an, As-Sunnah and natural values (sunatullah),
while morals can mean natural values (sunatullah) and can also means the value
system that comes from human agreement at a certain time and space so that it can
change. Another case is ethics which is a temporary agreement from groups that use
behavioral institutions. Therefore, moral values which are ethical values can change
according to agreement and formulation of descriptions of basic values that are seen
as natural (universal) (Ali 2016).
Thus, all branches of power (executive, legislative and judiciary) in which there
are ASNs or civil servants can make moral ethics and universally that is, morals can
be used as a guide such as a handbook that exists within each other than the ASN
Law, the Public Service Act and other administrative sciences of course. Then
prophetic is used as a barrier wall for not doing what is forbidden by God and
positive law. With the aim of being able to sincerely and commit to making public
services the needs of protected communities in a fair, professional, transparent and
honest manner both in the Central Government and in Regional Governments.
CONCLUSION
Prophetic based on ethical ideals there are 3 contents namely humanism,
liberation and transcendent. which is more or less found in the values of Pancasila.
Political law as the official direction of government in politics and law through the
RPJM, ASN Law, Public Service Act, Presidential Regulation on extortion provides a
structured action but not in the area of prevention, especially in corruption, collusion
and nepotism within the bureaucracy.

The Prophetic approach is directed at the subjective behaviour of ASN HR in
carrying out their functions and authorities following the noble qualities of the
prophets. The function of the noble qualities of the prophets is an internal controller
to maintain the balance of his life and achieve the goals of his spiritual life safely.
Such a function is needed because individually, in every human person there is a
conflict of interest or cannot control the passions to commit acts of misuse.
Prophetic focuses on the principles of behaviour that are based on religious values.
So that all branches of the executive, legislative and judiciary can make moral ethics
universally from the prophetic concept in providing services to the community.
