VP inaugurates computerized system at justice ministry
JAKARTA (JP): Vice President Megawati Soekarnoputri
inaugurated on Wednesday a computerized system in the Ministry of
Justice and Human Rights that will accelerate the process of the
endorsement of limited companies.
"For the business world, this system is clearly useful because
it can help create more conducive conditions for competitive
business on a macro scale and for businesses in general,"
Megawati said.
She hoped that such a system could be soon followed by other
government institutions which still provide ineffective and
sluggish service to the public.
According to Director General of General Law Administration
Remail Atmasasmita, his office receives up to 4,000 applications
for corporate body endorsement filed by notaries public every
month. But only half of them could be handled.
"As the result, there are a back log of some 2000 applications
each month," he told The Jakarta Post.
There are about 12,000 applications at the office.
Meanwhile, Minister of Justice and Human Rights Yusril Ihza
said the computerized system was also aimed at avoiding the
practices of collusion, corruption and nepotism.
With the computerized system, he said, the endorsement on a
corporate body proposed by a notary public can be shortened from
60 days to at a maximum of seven days.
He said the computerized system will be effective in March,
when notaries public who live outside Jakarta do not have to
physically come to the ministry office for filing limited company
endorsement applications.
Yusril added, along with the computerized system, the ministry
had also prepared a set of regulations as legal grounds for the
computerized system implementation.
"The Ministry of Justice and Human Rights will also take a
step forward to enter an e-government era which prioritizes
professionalism, transparency and accountability. Later all of
the ministry's activities, including immigration services would
be performed through a computerized net which would allow all
members of society to access them," he said. (01)
