"I hope this isn't just a number. What is more important is the follow-up in the work program 2025," he expressed, Saturday (10/19).

He hoped that the Jakarta Provincial Government could improve the planning of information disclosure programs in all public bodies, as well as encourage public participation by providing the widest possible right to access information.

"Concrete support for the future improvement of IKIP can be realized through a work program that strengthens the role of the Information and Documentation Management Officer (PPID) in each stakeholder," he explained.

He also highlighted the importance of the Bylaw on Information Transparency which emphasizes the optimization of public information service governance in public bodies, as well as strengthening the institutional structure of the Jakarta KI
