The Jakarta Provincial Government has implemented Law No. 14/2008 about public information openness (UU KIP) by, among others, providing information through the internet and publishing information on the 2013 provincial budget in the sub-district level.
Since 2000, the Jakarta government has administered www.beritajakarta.com and www.jakarta.go.id to provide information.
Jakarta Legislative Council Commission A member Nadjamatul Faizah said Jakarta citizens who have no access to the internet can obtain information through their respective district office.
Public policy observer Garin Nugroho said the Jakarta government’s effort in publishing information through information boards is a step in the right direction.
“Information about regional budget has been announced in various places. However, the most important thing is how that information is used by the people,” said Garin.
Meanwhile, Jakarta Information Commission chairman Yulianto Wadhiraharjdo said there had been 400 information disputes in Jakarta since September 2013. The number increased from 297 cases in 2012.
