Legislation Impediments in Reorganising Government Bodies in Indonesia

This study identifies legislation constraints to reorganize government bodies in Indonesia. Most administrations continuously receive pressure to reform and transform. Reorganization is a logical step when the problems are structural. Large government has resulted in potential duplications, in part due to entrenchment in statutes. Reorganizing a ministry or an agency poses impediments due to the process required for statutory amendments. This article takes a qualitative approach to examine the legal impediment in conducting the reorganization of government bodies. This research is a socio-legal study that combines legal research in the area of administrative law, political science, and public policy and management. Keywords: Bureaucracy; Legislation; Politics; Administrative; Reorganisation.
