MEDAN | INDATANEWS.COM - The Deli Serdang Regency Government has reaffirmed its commitment to continuously improve the quality of public services that are professional, transparent, accountable, and free from maladministration. This commitment is part of the regional government's efforts to provide faster, easier, and more responsive services that meet the needs of the community.

The Deputy Regent of Deli Serdang, Lom Lom Suwondo, made the statement after attending the opening meeting for the 2026 socialization of the maladministration assessment in public service delivery.

Promoting Responsive Public Services

The Deli Serdang Government considers improving the quality of public services as an important indicator in achieving good governance. Therefore, every regional agency must be able to provide effective services while making public access easier.

Lom Lom explained that public services are not limited only to administrative matters but also involve public trust in the government. For this reason, officials are encouraged to continuously adapt and develop innovations so that services can operate optimally in line with the growing expectations of society.

At the event, North Sumatra Governor Bobby Nasution also stated that the maladministration assessment was not merely aimed at achieving certain figures or rankings. Instead, he viewed the assessment as a tool for joint evaluation and learning to improve the quality of public services.

Bobby said all public service providers must view the assessment process as an opportunity to reflect on their existing work systems. In addition, regional governments and service institutions must strengthen complaint management, improve the competence of officials, and ensure that service standards are consistently implemented.

"These results must become motivation to work better so that the quality of public services in all regencies, cities, and service institutions throughout North Sumatra can continue to improve in a sustainable and balanced manner," Bobby said.

Ombudsman Encourages Innovation Amid Budget Efficiency

Member of the Ombudsman RI Representative Office, Safrida Rahmawati Rasahan, explained that the opening meeting was an important moment for joint evaluation and prevention of maladministration in public service delivery.

Safrida emphasized that challenges in the public service sector are becoming increasingly complex, particularly amid government policies on budget efficiency and limited financial resources. However, this situation should not become an obstacle for service providers to continue delivering the best possible services to the public.

According to her, every institution must be able to create innovations by utilizing available resources. These efforts are necessary to maintain service quality and ensure that the community continues to receive optimal services.

"The assessment of compliance with public service delivery standards will be carried out from August to November 2026. The results are expected to be announced in December 2026," Safrida said.

She explained that the assessment process covers four main dimensions: input, process, output, and complaint management. In addition, public satisfaction with services provided by public institutions will also be taken into consideration.

The assessment serves as one of the instruments to ensure that public services are carried out according to established standards. The Deli Serdang Government is committed to using the evaluation results as a basis for improvement in order to further strengthen the performance of public services for the community.
