JAKARTA - Director General of Information and Public Communication of the Ministry of Communication and Information, Prabu Revolutionary explained several achievements of the Minister of Communication and Information Budi Arie Setiadi during his term of office.

During a term of office of approximately 15 months, Minister of Communication and Information Budi successfully completed the construction of 5,321 4G Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) out of a total of 5,618 targeted through the Telecommunication and Information Accessibility Agency (BAKTI) of the Ministry of Communication and Information in the 3T region.

In addition, Kominfo has cut off access to online gambling as much as 3,796,902 content containing online gambling and blocked at least 31,751 gambling pages on educational institution websites and more than 31,812 gambling page insertions at government institutions in the period 17 July 2023 to 9 October 2024.

Prabu also considered that during his tenure, Budi managed to maintain a peaceful and safe public space during the 2024 General Election (Pemilu) event so as to create a Peaceful Election.

Furthermore, Budi also managed to return funds of IDR 3.5 trillion due to the termination of the digital infrastructure project Hot Backup Satellite (HBS) to the state through the recommendation of the BAKTI Kominfo Task Force.

The termination of the HBS project was carried out because the Republic of Indonesia or SATRIA-1 satellite was successfully launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida, United States, June 19, 2023. The total value of the HBS Project is IDR 5.2 trillion.

At the GoPay Public Discussion event some time ago, Budi hoped that the next government, especially the new Minister of Communication and Information, could continue what he has done now.

"Yes, continue, this cannot be a settingback. The Minister of Communication and Information cannot be backed up and must go ahead. Yes, I have," Budi hoped in front of the media for the new Minister of Communication and Information.
