JAKARTA - RI Ombudsman member Robert Na Endi Jaweng asked the government to review and improve the e-meterai procurement system. Ease of access to distribution to various other aspects must be considered.

This was conveyed in response to complaints from prospective participants in the selection of prospective civil servants (CPNS) to access e-meterai some time ago.

"The Ombudsman asked the government to review and improve the e-meteric procurement system to its distribution," Robert said in a written statement quoted on Monday, September 9.

The Indonesian Ombudsman assessed that the government needed to explain this issue. This is because e-meterai, which is a requirement for CPNS registration, is not accompanied by supplies and easy access.

As a result, continued Robert, the National Selection Committee (Panselnas) must extend the deadline for registration from September 6, 2024 to September 10, 2024.

"The scarcity of e-meters in sales outlets has become a complaint for participants in completing the required documents. This is because one of them is because PT Peruri is only authorized to procure but cannot sell directly to the public," he explained.

In addition, Robert said the Indonesian Ombudsman found that the distribution of e-materai was only held by 10 out of 26 distributors. In fact, sales can only be made through this facility by making payment transactions through the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) of the Ministry of Finance.

"A very high demand for e-meterai will occur towards the end of CASN registration in 2024 requires anticipatory steps by PT Peruri, namely increasing e-meterai production and server room capacity," he concluded.
