The Concurrent Implications of Government Officials in Indonesia are Viewed from the Concept of Good Governance

Large countries generally have territory, population, government, and sovereignty. The state is literally a construction created by humans regarding the pattern of relations between people in social life organized in such a way as to fulfill interests and achieve common goals. The government in running the wheels of government has received a lot of attention from the public. One of the highlights is the concurrent position of government officials. In Indonesia, many concurrent officials can certainly have potential conflicts of interest. This is interesting to research, which is related to 2 (two) main issues, namely: how is the concurrent arrangement of positions for government officials in Indonesia? and how are the implications of concurrent positions of government officials in Indonesia viewed from the concept of Good Governance? The research was conducted using normative legal research methods and using conflict of interest theory. The results showed that there are arrangements that prohibit concurrent positions and also arrangements that allow concurrent positions which of course can cause potential conflicts of interest. Concurrent positions in terms of the concept of Good Governance directly violate the general principles of good governance, there will be potential for seepage of information and / or policy assistance for those concerned. Therefore, new laws and regulations are needed that must strictly prohibit concurrent positions for legal unity and avoid conflicts of interest for government officials.

Abstract

Large countries generally have territory, population, government, and sovereignty. The state is literally a construction created by humans regarding the pattern of relations between people in social life organized in such a way as to fulfill interests and achieve common goals. The government in running the wheels of government has received a lot of attention from the public. One of the highlights is the concurrent position of government officials. In Indonesia, many concurrent officials can certainly have potential conflicts of interest. This is interesting to research, which is related to 2 (two) main issues, namely: how is the concurrent arrangement of positions for government officials in Indonesia? and how are the implications of concurrent positions of government officials in Indonesia viewed from the concept of Good Governance? The research was conducted using normative legal research methods and using conflict of interest theory. The results showed that there are arrangements that prohibit concurrent positions and also arrangements that allow concurrent positions which of course can cause potential conflicts of interest. Concurrent positions in terms of the concept of Good Governance directly violate the general principles of good governance, there will be potential for seepage of information and / or policy assistance for those concerned. Therefore, new laws and regulations are needed that must strictly prohibit concurrent positions for legal unity and avoid conflicts of interest for government officials.
