Thursday (12/14), the Bali DPRD's Commission I group did a working visit (kunker) towards the office of Jakarta Population and Civil Registration Dept. The group itself was led by Ketut Tama Tenaya, Chairman of Bali DPRD's Commission I, and was welcomed by Edison Sianturi, Head of Jakarta Population and Civil Registration Dept.

Ketut disclosed that they wanted to get inputs about population services that apply to Jakarta people and e-ID card recording, as well as data collection for newcomers who enter the city.

"We want to know, whether there is a retribution for newcomers who move to stay in Jakarta," he expressed.

Edison Sianturi, Head of Jakarta Population and Civil Registration Dept. explained that his dept. has the main duty and function (tupoksi) as mandated by Law No. 24/2013 on administration of population.

The rules, he expressed, apply equally to similar institutions in provinces, sub-districts and cities throughout Indonesia.

"Population administration services in Jakarta that has been running so far is intended to be used by sectoral agencies in an effort to improve the welfare of people," he explained.

He added that people who are required to have e-ID card is 7.7 million and those who have been doing e-ID card recording is 7.68 million people or about 99.49 percent.

"The population data coming is dynamic. Then for newcomers entering the city, won't get retribution charge whatsoever," he concluded.
