The Coordinating Minister for Politics, Law and Security of the Republic of Indonesia (Menkopolhukam RI) Mahfud MD said access to information was essential to ensuring public participation in the government’s policy-making process. Fulfilling the right to report to the community is also a necessary element of human rights. “Therefore, information must be given to everyone. Every public agency must be open to all information. To Public Bodies that have received informative predicates, to truly maintain their predicates, by further improving the management and service of Public Information,” he said.

The person in charge of Monev for the Central Information Commission (KIP), Handoko Agung Saputro, said that there had been a significant increase in the implementation of the 2022 Monev Award because 122 Public Bodies had succeeded in becoming Informative from the seven categories of Public Bodies. “The achievement of the 122 Informative Public Bodies has exceeded the target of the national medium-term development plan from Bappenas, which is 98 Informative Public Bodies,” he said.

Handoko, who is also the Head of the Central KI Institutional Sector, noted on the results of the 2022 Monev that although Public Bodies that have achieved an informative title have increased, there are still fundamental weaknesses related to the availability of documents or information that are categorized as available at any time. “Many public agencies still state that the contract documents for the procurement of goods and services are information exempt, the legal basis for exclusion of information is weak, and the information service mechanism is not coordinated,” he said.

Therefore, he added, the leaders of Public Agencies no longer merely pursued an informative title but had to improve their information service mechanisms, including reviewing information or documents that should have been categorized as open but were declared excluded. Apart from the category of State Universities (PTN), there are six other categories, namely Ministries, State Institutions – Non-Ministerial Government Institutions (LN-LPNK), Non-Structural Institutions (LNS), Provincial Government (Pemprov), State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN), and Political Parties (Parpol).
