DPR Baleg Proposes One Data Indonesia Supervisory Body

Deputy Chairman of the DPR’s Legislation Body, Martin Manurung, has proposed the establishment of a One Data Indonesia Supervisory Body (SDI) during deliberations on the One Data Indonesia Draft Law (RUU). Martin stated that the body is necessary to strengthen oversight of national data management, including the use of data by foreign entities. ‘We are still finalising this based on received inputs, including on oversight. I have proposed the establishment of the SDI Supervisory Body,’ Martin said on Thursday (28 May 2026). According to Martin, BPS will remain one of the data providers within the One Data Indonesia system, as the data to be integrated is not limited to statistical information. ‘BPS is one of the data sources for One Data Indonesia. There are also non-numerical data, such as geospatial data, which will be part of the system,’ Martin said. Thus, the DPR’s Baleg aims to complete the drafting and deliberation of the One Data Indonesia Bill this year. ‘We aim to finalise it to improve data integration and synchronisation as the basis for evidence-based policy-making,’ he concluded. Deputy Speaker of the DPR, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, explained that the bill aims to synchronise various data to centralise it. The regulation was drafted based on field experiences, particularly during disaster management. According to Dasco, discrepancies in data between ministries and agencies often cause obstacles in delivering aid to disaster-affected communities. ‘Which leads to inconsistencies on the ground when providing assistance to displaced persons,’ he said. He hopes that through the One Data Indonesia Bill, data discrepancies between ministries and agencies will no longer occur, enabling more effective government policies and programmes. ‘Regarding social assistance funds and BPJS, there are still inconsistencies, so we will synchronise them into One Data to prevent future data discrepancies that negatively impact ground-level operations,’ Dasco explained.
