Recently, corruption has been identified in the recruitment of various positions within the Ministry of Religious Affairs, indicating poor conditions of bureaucracy in Indonesia. The Chairman of State Civil Service Commission (KASN), Sofyan Effendi, said" Ministries or Institutions led by cadres of political parties are more vulnerable to the practice of corruption in recruitment”. The reason behind this statement is that ministers from political parties often get influenced by their party leaders, but if professional ministers get an appointment by any ministry, they work independently (Dilulio, 2017). There has been a recent case in the recruitment of top level of management positions in the Ministry of Religious Affair where one of the applicants has had poor credentials and shown bad performance in KASN evaluations but has still managed to gain a position. The person in questions oath was recently administrated by Minister of Religious Affairs, Mr. Lukman Hakim Saifuddin. This indicates that there are loop holes in the process, which are exploited by people working inside (Ferizko, 2012).
