JAKARTA Member of the Commissioner of the Central Information Commission Samrotunnajah Ismail emphasized that the main objective of implementing the Public Information Disclosure Law (UU KIP) which has been in effect since 2010 is to realize transparency of accountable, effective, and efficient institutions.
