Indonesia has popular concept of democracy with direct elections. For the third time, the people of Indonesia to elect a head of state directly. Head of government from the city level up to the governor also elected directly by the people. This is believed to be an effective way to filter the wise leader and preferences of the people. The enlargement of democracy also bring the Local leaders to have greater autonomy in controlling its own territory.
Local leaders can be more creative and innovate, more independently in several ways in order to develop the region. The extent of this authority provides an opportunity for each region to be fully developed according to the potential of their respective regions. Many local leaders who successfully bring a positive change in the region they lead. Starting from Surakarta, Joko Widodo, the Region of Pekalongan Bashir Ahmad, the Bandung leader Ridwan Kamil, Bima Arya of Bogor, Surabaya Tri Rismaharini, Kudus Musthofa and much more.
However, that does not mean all regional head by direct election results reflect the positive side. There are also local leaders were actually involved various legal cases, especially corruption, and some are not working optimally. However, the election law that is applicable, Act No. 32 of 2004 are considered not quite able to overcome this problem. The President does not have the authority to remove the chief areas that are not working optimally. In fact, the president has often give awards to successful regional head and has a good performance. Regional autonomy which gives flexibility to the local leaders to control its own territory it is often used as an excuse to deny the central government. Many local governments are acting too freely and forget the boundaries to remain subject to the central government.

The new president just able to fire a regional head if he be convicted with legal force. Thus, although the performance is bad but not designated as a defendant, the president still has no authority to fire him.
The current president, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono was the one who proposed this idea. The new regulation on the new government is expected to optimize the running of the government. In the new regulation, the president proposed to have the authority to fire poorly performing regional head and often ignore central government policies. The bill is ready for approval at the next plenary session of the Parliament on Tuesday September, 30th 2014.
This RUU contains a balanced way about the existence of reward and punishment to the head area. Unlike the previous law which only focuses on the reward rather than punishment alone. Local Government will improve relations among area, from governors, regents, and mayors to the president as the central government authority.
Furthermore, the president will have the authority to impose sanctions on the leaders who have a poor performance. In fact in addition to the sanctions, the president is also expected to have the authority to fired them. The bill has been accepted by the House and awaits ratification stay. Its application can be run on the new government under the leadership of Joko Widodo. The bill is expected to improve intergovernmental relations.
