Following the determination of 11 suspects related to online gambling by Polda Metro Jaya, including employees of the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Komdigi).

According to Rizki, this determination is included in the efforts of Commission I of the DPR together with the government, namely Kominfo or Komdigi.

"Hopefully in the future, his work in coordinating properly is Cyber Police, be it state intelligence agencies, be it PSSN, cyber and state codes can get better," he said.

As a member in charge of communication and informatics affairs, Rizki noted several things that must be done in the future. First, the community must be able to be better educated.

"Because the best of the law, as well as the regulations, as long as it is not bottom up, as long as it is not rooted or starting from grassroots, it seems difficult for the community to be optimal. Now in the future, we hope that in the future we can boost it back from the Ministry of Communication and Industry and all programs and others, we can organize this policy well," said the Chairman of BURT DPR.

Second, clarify the laws and regulations. Among them, the distribution of tupoksi from ministries and institutions.
