Selain itu terdapat pula evidens bahwa pemahaman PUG belum menyeluruh pada SDM perencana di OPD, dan belum ada dukungan yang tegas dari elite pemerintahan terhadap PUG di semua lini pemerintahan.

This research explores issues related to mainstreaming the 2015 Regional Budget (APBD) of Riau Province amounted IDR 10.7 trillion. Based on the data obtained from the Riau Finance and Asset Management Board (BPKAD), Riau could only spend APBD 37.58% of APBD until October 2015. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Home Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia calculated Riau spent only 59.6% throughout 2015 and it wast the lowest regional spending in Indonesia. This poor expenditure rate demonstrates a problem in the implementation of Riau’s APBD which was inneficient and not yet relevant. An assessment by government expenditure theory reveals that these problems indicate a gap in APBD allocation that affect on the non-performance regional development as targeted in mid-term regional development plan (RPJMD).

The position of ASN is quite strategic and seen in the community, of course, will make it easier for candidates to gain support and have big hopes in the pilkada. The non-neutrality of ASN is certainly in the spotlight amidst the hopes of the community that ASN is able to become a pillar of an example of an honest and fair course of democratization.
