E-government to be developed

JAKARTA: State Minister of Administrative Reforms Feisal Tamin said here on Tuesday that his office would develop an e- government to help administrative efforts in both the central and regional governments.

"The e-government is also popularly called government on line," the minister said during a hearing with the government affairs commission at the House of Representatives.

The development of the modern system would be linked to all government organizations, especially public service institutions, he said.

Through such a program, data and information could be accessed and utilized by the public quickly, accurately and securely, he said.

Feisal said that the application of e-government would enable all government organizations to do their jobs electronically, thereby helping them speed up the decision making process.

So far there had been 119 websites developed by government institutions throughout the country.

"Out of the total, 52 belong to central government institutions, seven to state enterprises and 60 to regency and provincial administrations," he added. -- Antara
