Iqbal Ramadi Payana, the Secretary of Tanah Datar Regency who also serves as the main PPID supervisor, stated that every provincial and regency/city government is required to have a PPID as mandated by Law Number 14 of 2008 on Public Information Disclosure.
"In response to this, the Tanah Datar Regency Government has appointed Information and Documentation Management Officials (PPID) following the Regent's Decree No. 555/116/Kominfo-2024 dated March 19, 2024, concerning the amendment of the Regent's Decree No. 555/142/Kominfo-2023 dated March 14, 2023, on the formation of information and documentation service managers in the Tanah Datar Regency," said Iqbal.

Furthermore, Iqbal mentioned that information services must be carried out based on the principles of transparency, accountability, conditionality, participation, and equality of rights.
"These five principles are the foundation for every public official in serving the community who needs information. It is undeniable that with information transparency, the public becomes more active and participates in monitoring the administration of government. This is the basis for information and documentation management officials to be able to provide the information requested by the public," he explained. (edi)
