DPR RI Dorong Percepatan Pembangunan Jaringan TI di Papua

Anggota Komisi I DPR RI Yan Permenas Mandenas berkomitmen mendorong percepatan pembangunan jaringan Teknologi Informasi (TI) mencakup ketersediaan internet 4G di wilayah Bumi Cenderawasih.

Komitmen itu disampaikan Yan Mandenas, usai bertemu Anggota Komisi Informasi (KI) Papua serta Komisi Penyiaran Indonesia Daerah (KPID) Papua yang difasilitasi Kepala Dinas Komunikasi dan Informatika (Kominfo) Papua, Kamis malam.

“Supaya tidak ada lagi suatu wilayah di Papua yang mengalami blank spot atau tak tercover jaringan telekomunikasi maupun internet,” terang Yan.

Ia pada kesempatan itu berkomitmen mempertegas kembali status KI dan KPID. Dimana dua lembaga itu mesti mendapat kejelasan mengenai pengisian personelnya serta pembiayaan organisasi.

“Sehingga alokasi pembiayaannya lebih dipertegas kedepan. Termasuk kita dorong ada MoU antara gubernur seluruh Indonesia dengan Menkominfo terkait pembiayaan dua lembaga ini. Sehingga kedepan semua berkomitmen memberdayakan dan menjadikan organisasi ini sebagai partner Pemda”. 

“Sebab lembaga inilah yang mendorong agar peran pengawasan publik supaya berjalan maksimal, menjaga keterbukaan informasi publik tetap berjalan baik termasuk dalam bidang pelayanan penyiaran,” tuturnya.

Sementara itu, Kepala Dinas Kominfo Papua Jery A. Yudianto mengapresiasi kunjungan Anggota Komisi I DPR RI, Yan Permenas Mandenas.

Dia berharap, Anggota DPR RI Daerah Pemilihan (Dapil) Papua tersebut dapat membantu pemerintah setempat mendorong ketersediaan jaringan TI di Bumi Cenderawasih, yang saat ini tengah mempersiapkan pelaksanaan Pekan Olahraga Nasional (PON) XX 2021.

“Sehingga sebelum PON tetapi juga setelah iven empat tahunan ini usai, ketersediaan jaringan TI lebih khusus internet bisa lebih baik lagi dari sebelumnya,” harapnya.

Member of Commission I of the House of Representatives Yan Permenas Mandenas is committed to encourage the acceleration of the development of Information Technology (IT) networks covering the availability of 4G internet in the Land of Cenderawasih region.

The commitment was delivered by Yan Mandenas, after meeting members of the Papua Information Committee (KI) and the Papua Regional Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPID) facilitated by the Head of the Papua Communication and Informatics Office on Thursday night.

"So that there is no longer a region in Papua that has blank spots or uncoverable telecommunication or internet networks," explained Yan.

He on that occasion committed to reaffirming the status of the Information Committee and Regional Indonesian Broadcasting Commission. The two institutions must get clarity on the charging of personnel as well as the financing of the organization.

"So that the allocation of financing is more emphasized in the future. Including we encourage there is an MoU between governors throughout Indonesia and the Minister of Information related to the financing of these two institutions. So that in the future all are committed to empowering and making this organization as a partner of local government".

"Because this institution encourages the role of public supervision to run optimally, keeping public information disclosure running well including in the field of broadcasting services," he said.

Meanwhile, the head of Papua Information Department Jery A. Yudianto appreciated the visit of Member of Commission I of the House of Representatives, Yan Permenas Mandenas.

He hopes that members of the House of Representatives of the Papua Electoral District can help the local government encourage the availability of IT networks, which is currently preparing for the implementation of National Sports Week XX 2021.

"So before National Sports Week but also after the four-yearly event is over, the availability of more specialized IT networks internet can be better than before," he hoped.
