Kalisari Sub-District Head Suspected of Manipulating JAKI Complaint; Pramono: Those at Fault Must Be Punished
Governor of DKI Jakarta, Pramono Anung, will soon examine the Kalisari Sub-District Head in Pasar Rebo, as well as the Head of the East Jakarta Transportation Sub-Department, following the discovery of the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in evidence for following up on public complaints that went viral on social media.
Pramono has requested the DKI Jakarta Inspectorate to conduct an inspection to determine which parties approved the use of AI, both at the sub-district and sub-department levels.
“I have already asked the Inspectorate to check on the matter of AI in JAKI, whether it was the sub-district head, namely the Kalisari Sub-District Head, or the Head of the East Jakarta Transportation Sub-Department,” he said in Central Jakarta on Monday (6/4).
Transparency Becomes the Focus of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government
Pramono emphasised that anyone proven to have approved the use of AI to complete work or reports on citizen complaints improperly must be sanctioned.
“Whoever is at fault must be punished. And this must not happen again, because for the Jakarta government, transparency is a very important matter,” he stated.
The PDIP politician also regretted the handling of reports by Regional Device Organisations (OPDs) that were deemed to cover up problems. According to him, manipulating photos using AI is a form of deception to the public.
“It’s better, for example, to say it’s not finished yet rather than doing it with AI, which essentially is deceiving,” he said.
He added that he has asked the Inspectorate to impose sanctions on the parties proven to have committed the violation.
“And we, I have already asked the Inspectorate to impose sanctions for that,” he concluded.
Illegal Parking Complaint Suspected of Manipulation
This case originated from a complaint about illegal parking in the Kalisari area, Pasar Rebo, East Jakarta. A resident via an X account claimed that the report submitted through the official DKI Jakarta Provincial Government app, JAKI (Jakarta Kini), was followed up using photos edited by artificial intelligence.
In response to the report, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government conducted an internal investigation. The results of the examination found that the citizen complaint regarding illegal parking in Pasar Rebo was suspected to have been manipulated by Kalisari Sub-District officials.
Based on data, the illegal parking report was recorded in the JAKI app on 15 February 2026 at 20:14 WIB with coordinates 6.33750 LS and 106.86024 BT on Jalan Damai, Kalisari Sub-District, Pasar Rebo Sub-District, East Jakarta.
In the screenshot of the complaint follow-up, several cars that were previously parked at the location suddenly disappeared, while the positions of the officers and motorbikes passing by remained the same, as if no time change had occurred.
This finding raised suspicions that the follow-up photo was the result of AI manipulation. To date, the post has sparked hundreds of netizen comments highlighting the alleged fabrication of citizen complaint handling reports.
