JAKARTA - The Daily Coordinator of the National Corruption Prevention Strategic Team (Stranas PK) Niken Ariati reminded the Local Government Information System (SIPD) to become a mandatory application. There should be no more overlapping data.

"Stranas PK through the KPK leadership will also strengthen the Circular from the Ministry of Home Affairs so that all regions must use the SIPD of the Republic of Indonesia," Niken said as quoted from his written statement, Friday, December 29.

"The existence of this SIPD, continued Niken, will replace thousands of overlapping applications. 5,000 similar applications will be lost," he said.

"This means that the planning, budgeting and financial reports are integrated from around 75,000 villages to 456 regencies/cities, 34 provinces to the center (namely, red) Bappenas and the Ministry of Finance," continued Niken.

With this synchronization, it is hoped that monitoring can be carried out optimally, especially regarding the use of the budget in the regions. So, in the future there will be no more damaged roads to the wrong budget.

"There are also no more APBDs parked at the bank," said Niken.

Furthermore, Niken admitted that the implementation of this SIPD was not easy because the infrastructure needed would be very large. Mainly to store data from 542 local governments.

However, Stranas PK then received support from the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government. "Thank you for being willing to change the budget at the end of the year and also the willingness to use SIPD RI. Even though we know DKI Jakarta must already have an advanced system," said Niken.

In addition, Niken also understands that there will be many questions and requests from various regions when they apply SIPD. So, it is hoped that the Help Desk Team, which is part of the Data and Information Center (Pusdatin) of the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) can respond quickly and provide solutions.

"Hopefully, the Indonesian SIPD will be more sophisticated, adaptive and solution, facilitate the work process of local governments and at the same time improve the quality of regional development planning and financial management and have an impact on preventing corruption in the regions," concluded Niken.
