Jakarta – Central Information Commission (KI) chairman Abdulhaid Dipopramono spoke about preventing corruption through information openness in public budget management in Indonesia during the 4th Anti-Corruption at Double Tree Hotel, Jakarta, on Thursday (12/6/2014).
The forum was held by UNODC, Bappenas, KPK, ICW and Transparency International (TI) and has been held since 2010 annually as an effort to encourage involvement of all national components in preventing and eradicating corruption.
Abdulhamid explained that a corrupt government is the one that is not open and transparent. There are many cases of corruption in ministries and local governments that have low information openness.
He further said that information openness is an effort to prevent corruption because if public bodies are open, public officials will find it difficult to manipulate budget and commit other various acts of corruption.
Indonesia needs to improve its efforts in preventing and eradicating corruption as corruption eradication in Indonesia has been stagnant in the past two years.
The Indonesian government’s commitment to prevent corruption together with other countries is reinforced with the ratification of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) through Law No. 7/2006.
The Anti-Corruption Forum aims to facilitate involvement of various stakeholders in monitoring UNCAC implementation and gather support from the public in preventing and eradicating corruption.
The forum was attended by various elements including ministries, government institutions, local governments, academics, research institutions, journalists and private companies.

Jakarta – The Central Information Commission (KIP) has ruled in favor of The Commission for Missing Persons and Victims of Violence (Kontras) in the information dispute with the State Secretariat which has been ordered to open the documents of Munir Said Thalid murder’s Fact-Finding Team (TPF).
The Judge Council, headed by Evy Trisulo, determined that the results of TPF’s investigation are for public. Below are the details of the judge’s consideration for the decision.
The State Secretariat (Setneg) is a public body that is protected by the constitution and funded by the state. According to Information Openness Law Article 7 Clause 2, public bodies must provide accurate public information and announce every new policy in writing to fulfill people’s rights to information.
“The council opines that the unavailability of TPF’s information doesn’t automatically annul the defendant’s obligation to provide accurate public information,” said Evy on Monday (10/10/2016).
Regarding the public information dispute, the council said the establishment of TPF is protected by the constitution, which is proven with the ratification of Presidential Decree No. 111/2004.
The Presidential Decree shows that the establishment of TPF is part of the president’s public policy which why the council concluded that there would be public loss if the investigation results were not published.
Setneg’s reason of not keeping the documents was rejected as a public body, Setneg must be open to the public.
Based on above considerations, the council decided that TPF documents on the murder of Munir must be announced to the public through media.

Journalists from various media in Ambon City discussed implementation of Law No. 14/2008 about Public Information Openness (KIP) in bureaucracy in Maluku and establishment of Maluku Information Commission (KI) on Monday (5/1/2015).
The discussion that was held by the Tifa Damai Maluku Institute (ITDM) and the Regional Research and Information Center (PATTIRO) resulted in four proposals, including encouraging the Maluku government to establish Information and Documentation Management Official in 10 regencies or cities and assessment and revision of Ambon City Mayor Instruction No. 1/2013 about Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) on Information Services to avoid centralization.
“Other proposal is revision of synchronization between Law No. 40/199 about Press and Law No. 14/2008 about KIP,” said ITDM director Ustus Pattipawae.
Yustus said journalists need not have to worry if UU KIP would hamper process and access to obtain information from public officials at the law regulates that if journalists ask for information, the applicable law is Law No. 44/1990 about Press.
Yustus continued that the Maluku government must be pushed to implement UU KIP in 10 cities immediately because since the law was issued in 20088, only Ambon City has officially established its own KI on 31 January 2013.
“Our province is slower compared to other provinces. There needs to be a joint movement to push local governments to form KI,” said Yustus.
