Indonesian bureaucracy reform has been widely implemented since 1997. However, the reform is still not able to eradicate the bureaucratic corruption culture. This paper proposes sufi governance approach as an alternative approach to reform corruptive culture within Indonesia’s bureaucracy. This approach relies on true monotheisme which is used to strengthen internal control system in poor bureaucracy contexts. The basic argument in this approach is that monotheism is true and therefore bureaucrats in charge of serving the community should carry out their duties in a comprehensive manner. As which ones have been listed in the code of ethics of the bureaucracy. In this approach, bureaucrats should see the task as a trust rather than a means to accumulate wealth and depriving the people they serve.
