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
