Heaptalk, Jakarta — West Kutai Regency Government won the cum laude trophy for the category of superior programs for regencies/cities throughout East Kalimantan at the Multy Award event organized by Mulawarman University.
The award was given by the Vice Chancellor for Student and Alumni Affairs, Prof. Dr. Moh. Bahzar, M.Si. to Assistant II for Economic Development and Natural Resources Rakhmad at the Puri Senyiur Hotel Samarinda (10/28).
Young Expert Policy Analyst, Head of the Public Service and Administration Sub-Facilitation Team, Rendi Rusti, explained that West Kutai was nominated for four category and won one cum laude trophy out of the nine indicators that were contested. In this event, West Kutai included several superior programs, including Penyuluhan Rompi/economic growth indicator, Kubar Tuntas/economic equality indicator, Sape Sempekat/local economic empowerment indicator, and Lapor Kadis/Education service indicator.
There are also Teka Teki/indicator of health services, Kubar Ok/indicator of administrative services, Sang Asmara/indicator of public participation, Denda Antang/indicator of continuity and political institutions, and Kubar Menyapa/indicator of public accountability.
According to Rendi, since 2022 the West Kutai Regency Government has issued a circular instructing each regional apparatus to create superior innovation programs. “As time goes by, there are regional officials who carry it out and some who don’t. This Multy Award program collaborates with Bappeda Litbang and the Organization Section. The Organization section specifically runs the public service innovation.
By winning the trophy at the Multy Award, the Organization Section will strive to be more active in encouraging and assisting all regional officials in carrying out their respective superior innovation programs. Rendi explained, “Apart from Mulawarman University, there are six ministries and institutions that carry out assessments. The Organization Section is specifically assessed by the Minister of State Apparatus Utilization and Bureaucratic Reform (PAN-RB),” explained Rendi.
Further, the Organization Section also continues to encourage and recruit relevant regional officials to contribute more to improving the economy. Rendi conveyed, “We also want to learn from other regions where regional officials have superior innovation programs and are given rewards through budget allocation.”
Closing his statement, Rendi hoped that the West Kutai Regency Government could carry out similar things that other regions have done to make the regional officials more enthusiastic about making superior innovations to make West Kutai a better tomorrow than today. (Translated by Sinta)
