JAKARTA - Minister of Administrative Reform and Bureaucratic Reform (Menpan RB) Abdullah Azwar Anas said that the Elected Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka visited his office some time ago. Gibran and Azwar Anas discussed the sustainability of the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE). “ Well, when did Mas Gibran come to the office. We were asked to explain regarding the digital ID and SPBE, ” said Azwar Anas in response to a question about the sustainability of the SPBE after the Joko Widodo administration ended in October 2024, as reported by Antara, Monday, May 27. Azwar conveyed that the vice president's duties are to coordinate bureaucratic reform, so that Gibran has an interest in obtaining information about this matter. " “ Because the Vice President's tasks later are to coordinate, bureaucratic reform is under the Vice President. And in the previous cabinet meeting related to this SPBE, the Elected President (Prabowo Subianto) was also asked by the President to attend, so this is the continuation of the continuity, in our opinion, optimistic that it can run, "” said Azwar. On Monday, President Joko Widodo launched Indonesia Digital Government Technology (GovTech), which is the government's digital team that will integrate national digital services. Azwar Anas said that the President hoped that there would be no more new applications in line with the implementation of GovTech.

"Hopefully the President will no longer have a new application, except for interoperability of the application. So the local government, ministries/agencies, are asked by the President to interoperability the existing applications, so that in September this GovTech service will gradually run in various ways that are easier, simpler and more transparent,” he said.
