JAKARTA - The Ministry of Social Affairs denies accepting bribes from German management and business software maker SAP, who is suspected of possessing a number of officials in Indonesia from official information published by the United States Department of Justice.
"We have never received as an intermediary from the SAP, and we also do not feel that we are using the SAP. Until now we have checked in state property, the BMI list that we have was also one hour ago I re-checked, the SAP was not found," said Head of the Ministry of Social Data and Information Center Agus Zainal Arifin as reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, January 16.
Agus said that since the leadership of the Minister of Social Affairs Tri Rismaharini, software development for almost three years has been carried out internally, or in-house.
The goal is to save the budget to overcome poverty, and to be able to have full control over the needs of future handling programs.
In line with this, the Special Staff of the Minister for Human Resources Development and Program of the Ministry of Social Affairs Suhadi Lili stated that the new officials are currently not in contact with the SAP issue.
It will also not hinder if there is a legal mechanism needed to handle the alleged case.
"So we want to emphasize that our work is quite isolated from the affairs mentioned as the bribery scandal," said Suhadi.
Suhadi explained that Pusdatin officials are currently only on duty in 2021. System or application policies require using an internal team (in-house), using a regular budget.
"In the period 2021 to 2023, all DTKS data improvement work and social assistance as well as the application system that supports it (SIKS-NG) no one buys or outsources to external parties. The budget used is a routine budget, so it requires us to be very efficient," said Suhadi.
The results of these improvements are the improvement of DTKS, the SIKS-NG application, the Cekbansos application, the Command Center & SIKS Mobile application, the SIKSGIS application for visual DTKS verification, and the SIKSMA application for the implementation of the food program.
