Ethical Issues of Local Government and Human Government

In the era of Post-New Order government, the government has made strategic policies to build a democratic system of government and clean government. The policy is carried out by realizing political democratization, decentralization of government, bureaucratic reformation, and law enforcement. But the trend had not been effective in building a clean government and public trust. The purpose of this study was to describe the ethical problems of government and this study uses the secondary data research method in which the researcher used secondary data (desk research method). The results of this study show that in governance, ethical governance practically used as a reference and backrest to build and run the government based on values. The governance in the area is still oriented to meet formal standards, the distribution of financial resources which are not oriented to meet the public interest, as well as the abuse of power. Finally, the absence of ethical awareness may be caused by lack of idealism and governing and the characters of government officers who are still driven by formal rules.
