DKI Jakarta Information Commission States Commitment to Information Transparency is More Than Just Administration

The Jakarta Information Commission (KI DKI) has asserted that the commitment of public bodies towards information transparency cannot be proven solely by the existence of Decree Letters (SK) for the Appointment of Information and Documentation Management Officers (PPID) or Standard Operating Procedures (SOP).

“Organisational commitment is not merely about meeting E-Monev indicators. What is more important is how leadership ensures that information transparency truly becomes part of the organisation’s system and work culture,” said the Head of the Information Dispute Resolution Division of KI DKI Jakarta, Agus Wijayanto Nugroho, in an official statement on Thursday.

The assessment of organisational commitment includes budget support, human resources, regulation, as well as the duties and functions of the PPID. These four aspects are essential components in evaluating the seriousness of public bodies in ensuring that the public’s right to information is fulfilled.

According to him, public bodies must demonstrate active guidance and socialisation of information transparency to their internal staff. Similar efforts should also be extended to public bodies under their respective jurisdictions.

He argued that leadership support for the PPID is a crucial factor in ensuring that information services do not stop at administrative compliance, but are instead capable of providing fast, orderly, and certain services to the public.

“If the commitment is strong, the PPID does not operate in isolation. There is leadership support, adequate human resources, budget, clear regulation, and duties and functions that are actively carried out,” he said.

Agus added that the commitment of public bodies is also reflected in their compliance with the results of agreements or decisions made during the Information Dispute Resolution (PSI) process.

According to him, implementing the results of agreements or PSI decisions is part of the public body’s respect for the community’s right to obtain information.

For public bodies that have not yet been involved in information disputes, this readiness can be proven through certificates of compliance in accordance with the 2026 E-Monev provisions.
