Jakarta - KIOnline.

Based on monitoring and evaluation (M & E) by the Central Information Commission (KI Pusat) on the websites over 82 central public bodies outside the State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN), political parties and Non Governmental Organizations (NGO), The Ministry of Communications and Information was ranked at the first place in providing regular information with the score 68.0.

Based on the mandate of Article 9 of Law No. 14 of 2008 on Public Information Openness, all public bodies are required to publish information regularly. This M & E was conducted by the Central Information Commission to see the extent to which the public bodies have published information regularly via their websites.

The result of M&E was announced by Commissioner of the Center of Information Commission Ahmad Alamsyah Saragih on a public discussion event in commemoration the International Right to Know Day in Jakarta, Thursday (29 / 9). This Former Chairman of the CIC of the period 2009 – 2011 said that the method of assessment on the websites included 4 (four) criteria.

The first criterion is the information related to public bodies, in which there are 5 (Five) types of information it has value 0.2. Second, the information about the activities and performance of relevant public bodies, in which there are 5 (Five) types of information,  it has value 0.2. Third, information on financial statements, with 3 (three) types of information, has value 0.2. Fourth, the other information set out in legislation, with 7 (Seven) types of information has value  0.4.

For value weight in the fourth criterion is different with the first to third, Alam explained that the report format for the fourth criterion doesn’t have a default report format and the public body must create  it by themselves. This, he said, is different for instance with the financial report format that already has format.

Regarding to calculation, Alamsyah said, any type of information complete got a score 2, if incomplete the score was 1 and if not available got the score 0. "For example, the first criterion with 5 (Five) types of information, if all types of information are complete got the  total score of 10 which is then multiplied by the value on respective criterion," he explained.

This is the ranking of the public bodies ranked from 1 (one) to 10 of the version of the Central Information Commission.
