The National Civil Service Agency (
Indonesian: Badan Kepegawaian Nasional, BKN) is a non-ministry government body in
Indonesia for
civil servantmanagement. The equivalent counterpart are
Civil Service in United Kingdom.
History
During
Indonesian National Revolution, the civil service was divided into
Republic of Indonesia government and
Dutch East Indies government. The Indonesian government formed Office of Civil Servant Affairs (
Indonesian: Kantor Urusan Pegawai Negeri, KUP) with Government Regulation 11/1948 on 30 May 1948 which located at
Yogyakarta. The
Dutch East Indies government formed General Staff Service (
Dutch: Dienst voor Algemene Personele, DAPZ,
Indonesian: Djawatan Umum Urusan Pegawai, DUUP), by the Decree of the Governor General of the Dutch East Indies Number 13 dated June 9, 1948, headed by Mr. J.W. Van Hoogstraken and located in Jakarta. After dissolution of
United States of Indonesia on 15 August 1950, government saw that the need for centralization in Jakarta, thus merged DUUP into KUP and relocated to Jakarta. In 1972, KUP was transformed into National Civil Service Administration Agency (
Indonesian: Badan Administrasi Kepegawaian Negara, BAKN). Later, BAKN transformed into National Civil Service Agency (
Indonesian: Badan Kepegawaian Nasional, BKN).[1]
In October 2021, National Civil Service Agency detected fraud on Civil Servant Selection.[2] For this reason, NCSA had made breakthrough innovations with face recording technology from registration to the implementation of the exam.[3] Later, NCSA disqualified 225 candidates due to fraud.[4]
