Jembrana, Bali – Government Rally Emphasizes Public Service Commitment
On Monday, March 3, 2025, the Jembrana regency held its routine government rally at Taman Pecangakan in Negara, where Bupati I Made Kembang Hartawan delivered crucial directives aimed at enhancing public service standards. The gathering included all civil servants (Aparatur Sipil Negara, ASN) and non-ASN staff of the local government.
Emphasizing Service to the Citizenry
One of the central themes of Bupati Kembang’s address was the need for officials to maximize their service to the public under the paradigm that "the people are our superiors." This mindset shift is especially pertinent for government employees, emphasizing a service-oriented approach rather than a perspective rooted in hierarchy.
"We must carry the spirit of serving the community wholeheartedly. The public should not face complications when accessing services. It is essential to instill the mindset that the rakyat (people) are our superiors," Bupati Kembang asserted to the rally participants.
This reiteration of the commitment to public service reflects the Bupati’s belief in the essential role of ASN as public servants. The goal is to prioritize the interests of the people, shifting their approach from "being served" to "serving."
Focus on Efficient Budget Management
In addition to underscoring the importance of community service, Bupati Kembang Hartawan addressed the critical issue of budget efficiency within the region. Aligning with directives from the central government for budgetary austerity, Kembang called on all ASN to manage regional finances with greater diligence and to curtail non-productive expenditures.
"We must explore potential sources of regional revenue, particularly local revenue (PAD), without burdening the smaller community. This includes intensifying and expanding local income sources and limiting expenses and activities that do not yield productive outcomes. By collectively committing to these actions, I am confident we can achieve substantial savings," he remarked.
Inspiring Unity and Determination
Towards the conclusion of his speech, Bupati Kembang encouraged all members of the Jembrana government apparatus to rally behind the slogan "Demi Jembrana, Pasti Bisa," which translates to "For Jembrana, We Can Definitely Do It." This catchphrase is intended to cultivate a spirit of determination and belief among ASN that they can contribute significantly to the advancement of the Jembrana regency.
The routine rally also saw the attendance of Jembrana’s Vice Bupati, I Gede Ngurah Patriana Krisna, along with other officials from the Jembrana government, highlighting a united front in public service commitment.
In this atmosphere of collective responsibility and determination, the Jembrana government aims to create a responsive and efficient workforce dedicated to better serving its citizens.
