JAKARTA - The process of updating DKI's e-budgeting budgeting system will soon be completed. Head of DKI Communication and Information Agency Atika Nur Rahmania explained that the main improvement of the digital budgeting system lies in improving security.
Head of the DKI Jakarta Communication and Information Agency Atika Nur Rahmania said that this system update refers to the mandate of Government Regulation Number 71 of 2019 concerning the Implementation of Electronic Systems and Transactions.
"We ensure the data security of all products from the information system is controlled. We also ensure the use of the entire wizard system in the production of accountable and transparent APBD data," said Atika, Tuesday, January 22.
Atika said, the new e-budgeting will be launched in February. In the process of planning the 2021 DKI budget, which has been compiled in the middle of this year, e-budgeting is made more interactive.
The people of DKI can later write comments about the budget draft. However, they must first create an account, by entering their NIK and email for the validation process so that there are no fake accounts. Worried, the account is being used for hate speech.
"Why do we do the validation, of course, it becomes clear who the identity is. We do this based on security standards," said Atika.
In addition, the DKI Provincial Government will also add public features to APBD literacy. "So, not only seeing numbers, but also understanding how the process is, how the APBD policy is complete," he said.
For information, the draft of the 2020 DKI Regional Budget was discussed because the apbd.jakarta.go.id website was suddenly accessible to the public. In the website, there are findings of the procurement of the 2020 budget draft that are odd, such as glue aibon amounting to Rp.82.8 billion and ballpoint pens amounting to Rp. 124 billion.
Later, this budget was a natural budget and was temporary in nature. A few hours after it was busy, the local APBD website for the draft general policy of the temporary budget priority-ceiling (KUA-PPAS) 2020 suddenly became inaccessible.
DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan assessed that there was a system error in e-budgeting (digital budgeting) on the apbd.jakarta.go.id website. This is because the DKI Provincial Government has never uploaded a budget draft on the APBD website, even though data input has been carried out.
"It's impossible to buy Rp82 billion of shame glue. We will correct it. This is the fault of the system because it relies on humans (in the verification process). Has this system only been running this year? No. For years, the system has relied on humans," said Anies on Wednesday, October 30, 2019.
Instead of admitting his subordinates' negligence in observing the data input for each proposed budget unit, Anies blamed the formation of the previous Jakarta Governor's e-budgeting system.
"Today the system is digital, but it's not a smart system. Relying on people to make corrections. Manual corrections with such a large amount, wherever there is, there is potential (odd budgets) that pass high," he said.
So, the e-budgeting system has been planned since Jokowi became the Governor of DKI Jakarta through Governor Regulation (Pergub) No. 145 of 2013. Then, the system started operating when Ahok led DKI in 2015.
