In its implementation, it is suspected that there was a conditioning for the winning of the PDNS contract between Kominfo officials and the private sector, in this case PT. AL.
Ironically, the conditioning ran for up to five years.
"In 2020 there were officials from Kominfo together with private companies to condition to win PT. AL with a contract value of Rp. 60,378,450,000. Then in 2021 the same private company won the tender again with a contract value of Rp. 102,671,346,360," said Bani.
Furthermore, in 2022, there are allegations of conditioning again between officials at Kominfo and the private company to win the same company by eliminating certain requirements so that the company can be elected as the executor of the activity with a contract value of Rp. 188,900,000,000.
"In 2023 and 2024, the same company won cloud computing work with a contract value in 2023 of IDR 350,959,942,158 and in 2024 it was valued at IDR 256,575,442,952, where the company partnered with parties who were unable to meet the requirements for ISO 22301 compliance recognition," he said.
As a result of the absence of feasibility considerations from the National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN) as a condition of the offer, so that in June 2024 there was a ransomware attack which resulted in several services being unfit to use and exposed to the personal data of the Indonesian population, even though the budget for the implementation of the PDSN had spent a total of more than Rp. 959,485,181,470.
"The implementation of these activities is not in accordance with Presidential Decree No. 95 of 2018 concerning Electronic-Based Government Systems which only require the government to build a National Data Center (PDN) and not a PDNS and not to protect all data in accordance with BSSN," he said.
