By: Teja Wulan Raditya
President of the Republic of Indonesia (RI) Joko Widodo (Jokowi) is indeed a leader who has been proven to serve the people through various policies and steps for the people of the country.
Therefore, all citizens should be able to face the hoaxes that are scattered out there that only contain propaganda because they are not in accordance with reality or facts on the ground, and are only intended to discredit.
Moreover, in the digital era like today, where all things and information can spread very quickly. Sometimes information that is spread too easily and quickly on various social media platforms also has its own challenges because it is prone to hoaxes.
It is proven that it is not only information that is real according to the facts that spreads a lot and quickly on the internet, but also issues that are the opposite. Fake news is clearly a very serious challenge, because it can also damage the image of an individual, let alone a national leader.
As one example, it often circulates on various social media related to hoaxes, which target the President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo (Jokowi) and even his family.
Therefore, in facing this phenomenon, it is very important for the public to really know what the facts are that are happening in the field, all people must know and understand how President Jokowi’s leadership during his 2 terms or 10 years as Head of State has proven to serve the people.
One real proof of how efforts to maximize services to all Indonesian people, namely the launch of Indonesian government technology (Government Technology/GovTech) called INA Digital.
The Head of State emphasized that it is very important for the government to continue to ensure the ease of bureaucratic services that are beneficial to the community. Because in reality the presence of the bureaucracy should serve, not complicate or even slow down.
The thing that is the benchmark for the success of public services, namely the level of public satisfaction, including what benefits the people can feel directly and how easy all their affairs can run.
The government itself as the organizer of public services continues to strive to be able to quickly adapt to how the development of the dynamic era like today.
These efforts are made by placing the public as the center of service delivery, including community aspirations as the main key in determining the direction of policy and development of the public service system.
Head of Auditorate III.D of the Audit Board of Indonesia (BPK), Poegoeh Yoedo Roesmanto explained that the government is always improving quality, accountability, so that added value and benefits are realized in a real and direct manner to optimize public services.
Meanwhile, the Coordinator of the Expert Team of the National Secretariat of SDGs of the Ministry of National Development Planning (PPN)/Bappenas, Yanuar Nugroho, assessed that the government of President Joko Widodo has indeed proven to be very successful in building integrated public services and continuing to expand services because the community itself can feel the benefits directly.
As one example, namely the existence of Public Service Malls (MPP) to the regions that allow residents to take care of all documents, from birth to death, from work documents to become Foreign Workers (TKA) even until they retire.
The existence of the MPP is already available in many regions with services reaching hundreds of types and the government will continue to improve it. This is clearly a concrete solution because for decades the community has encountered the problem of slow public services, resulting in the emergence of the perception that getting public services must cost money.
The steps and policies of the government, especially since the era of President Jokowi’s leadership, to realize the eradication of corruption, especially in the public service sector, are increasingly showing a bright spot.
So far, efforts to eradicate extortion (pungli) have shown very significant progress. So that as a real manifestation of corruption prevention to maximize public services in the era of President Joko Widodo’s leadership, the public really feels it.
President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has proven very clearly how his leadership serves all people in Indonesia with various programs that citizens can feel the benefits of directly.
Although there are many provocative issues and narratives and hoaxes circulating on social media and various other platforms, this is clearly a real challenge that needs to be addressed and faced together.
Don’t let the challenges of hoaxes and efforts to discredit how President Jokowi’s real performance has been very successful in improving the welfare of his people become unclear, even though his dedication as a Head of State is very great for this nation and country.
Let’s together face the spread of hoaxes in the digital world much wiser and continue to fully support the government’s development efforts and maintain the integrity and unity of the Indonesian nation.
