THE LICENSES ARE SOLD OUT

 Tomorrow there will be another rotation among the structural staffs in the Provincial Government of Jambi. Just a few months ago, the same rotation happened and now it comes again. Since I am not the part of it, I don’t need to be worried or on the contrary happy. Yet I need to be concerned with money politics behind that process as I heard quite soundly. I am one of provincial government staff who wants progress for this province. When will this region get up from its down position if the high level officials never give attention to this issue?

Money and connection becomes the important part of rotation in this “Sepucuk Jambi Sembilan Lurah“ Province. I hear that someone is willing to pay around Rp30 million for the position of echelon IV while for position of echelon III the price hits the amount of Rp100 million. O my God! Of course no one will speak up voluntarily to confirm this issue. One friend just laughed at issue, he did not say either yes or deny.

Looking at to the quality of new promoted staffs (I watch some of them), frankly I am disappointed. How the Governor put a high expectation on him/her,  to bring the idea/ concept into actions etc if his capability in explaining the working plans, managing the subordinates or (this is very ashamed) typing is very low? Besides those weaknesses, they don’t have courage as well to learn quickly about the job. This is only a joking among my friends, i.e. they don’t need to catch up to acquire the job since they have bought that license (position) for a certain year. So, whether the work runs well or goes to hell, they don’t care!

Indeed it is very sad to see all happens in front of my eyes. I can do nothing to help. I even cannot fight for my own research project (My boss does not respond yet my proposal). I notice too that some colleagues in this office look at me in a suspicious way (perhaps it relates to some critics I ever revealed).

Now life is not easy for me. But as a fighter (cielah…hahaha), I will not give up. I just need take deep breath, try to think purely and then imply all ideas into this blog. Allah will back me, Insya Allah.
