Abstract

The recently enacted Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 20/2023 on the State Civil Apparatus revokes the authority of the Commission of the State Civil Apparatus, which was previously responsible for monitoring the adherence to merit system and ethical standards of conduct within the state civil employee. Since its inception, the Commission of the State Civil Apparatus in Indonesia has utilized a merit-based selection process to appoint individuals to high-level leadership roles across federal, provincial, and district levels agencies. Some agencies have also applied the merit system to fill positions other than leadership positions. This paper seeks to examine the status quo of the Commission of the State Civil Apparatus in overseeing the implementation of meritocracy. Meritocracy embodies the principles of the merit system. Additionally, the forthcoming discussion will cover potential future enhancements for the organization tasked with supervising the execution of the merit system within the State Civil Service. The research is an empirical study conducted using a normative juridical approach using secondary data through literature and regulations regarding meritocracy and the State Civil Service. The research findings indicate that retaining the Commission of the State Civil Apparatus is crucial because it still plays a necessary role in overseeing the merit system. The future steps to be taken include changing the leadership structure of the Commission and enhancing the competency of the human resources responsible for handling the Commission.
