In the context of government, bureaucracy is an institution that is the executor of all government policies as a reflection of the power of the head of government. Thus it is necessary to ensure that the bureaucracy remains professional. However, the phenomenon of the northern Mamuju district shows that the existence of a strong local figure as the head of the region will affect the figure of the bureaucracy. Although the effort to make the bureaucracy a neutral institution serving the people, but it seems to have to deal with the tendency of the bureaucracy to be part of an effort to maintain the power of regional authorities. In the end, the bureaucratic reform effort is faced with a dilemmatic condition for the bureaucracy. In one hand, bureacracy reform objectives is to create more profesional bureaucracy that netral form political interest of particular actors, but on the ither hands it also should obey their leader as part of the regional government staf.
