JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo's (Jokowi) Population Identification Number (NIK) has been widely circulated to the public through social media. It was even used by netizens to access Jokowi's COVID-19 vaccine certificate in the PeduliLindung application.

In response to this, the Minister of Communication and Information, Johnny G Plate, asked to confirm with the Ministry of Health regarding the circulating news.

"It is better with the Ministry of Health as the data guardian, the integration of eHAC into the PeduliLindung application and the migration of the PL, PCare, and Silacak applications to the Kominfo data center has just been carried out. Regarding the questions above, it is better to wait for the official release from the Ministry of Health as the COVID-19 data guardian", said Johnny when contacted by VOI, Friday, September 3.

Johnny emphasized that currently PeduliLindung data in the Minister of Communication and Information data center is claimed to be safe. From screenshots circulating on social media, netizens are suspected of using Jokowi's NIK to access COVID-19 vaccine certificates in the PeduliLindung application.

From these results, it is clear that the vaccine card for the first dose and also the second dose, as well as the third dose form, belongs to the head of state. Information on COVID-19 Vaccination is also listed on behalf of Ir. Joko Widodo, complete with data on date of birth, NIK, QR code, vaccination ID number, type of vaccine used, and date of vaccination.

However, it turns out, Jokowi's NIK can be accessed easily through the official website of the General Election Commission (KPU) which published it. If you type "NIK Joko Widodo" in the search engine, the site infopemilu2.kpu.go.id displays Jokowi's NIK.

Actually, the data that contains Jokowi's NIK is the publication of Jokowi's data as a presidential candidate for the 2019 Election. There are also other data regarding Jokowi's identity such as place and date of birth, age, to religion.
