Jakarta, CNN Indonesia — Indonesia’s Finance Minister Yudhi Sadewa has threatened to dissolve the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) and terminate the employment of its 16,000 staff members. The move comes as the government seeks to address ongoing concerns about the agency’s performance and public trust. Sadewa stated he has received approval from President Prabowo Subianto to undertake a comprehensive overhaul of the customs directorate over the next year, emphasizing the seriousness of the effort. “I am being given the time to fix Customs. The threat is real – if Customs cannot improve its performance and the public remains dissatisfied, the agency could be dissolved,” Sadewa said following a working meeting with Commission XI of the House of Representatives in Central Jakarta on Thursday, November 27.
Sadewa even suggested he would consider replicating a strategy employed by Indonesia’s second president, Soeharto, who contracted the Swiss firm Suisse Generale Surveillance (SGS3) to manage customs operations. “We could replace the current system with SGS, as was done in the past. Customs officials are well aware of the risks they face,” he added. According to Sadewa, employees of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise have already begun demonstrating a willingness to improve performance. The Finance Minister also announced the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) at key points within the directorate’s operations, hoping to curb illicit practices such as underinvoicing – the reporting of lower values for exported and imported goods than their actual prices. “We are studying this closely, and progress is good. I believe things will be stable next year (2026). That is, Customs will be able to work effectively and professionally,” Sadewa stated optimistically. “If we fail to improve, 16,000 Customs employees could be laid off. Customs personnel are intelligent and prepared to change the situation,” he continued. detikcom reports that the dissolution of Customs occurred in 1985 during Soeharto’s presidency, resulting in the termination of all agency employees for a period of four years. Soeharto dissolved the agency to combat widespread corruption. The Swiss company, Suisse Generale Surveillance, or SGS3, then took over customs duties. (skt/sfr) fbq('init', '1047303935301449');
