Settle the e-ID Card Issue

Kompas/Priyombodo

People throng one of two desks set up at the Home Ministry’s booth during the Nusantara Expo and Forum 2017 event at Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, Jakarta, Sunday (22/10). The event saw overwhelming interest from Jakartans and residents of nearby cities, but the e-ID card services faces several issues, including a disparity in service capability among subdistrict offices.

Citizenship documents in the form of e-ID cards is a basic thing the state must provide its people. It must become a government target.

The main photo of this daily on Saturday, Oct. 21, 2017, showed thousands of residents of Jakarta, the capital of this country, standing in line for hours to submit their population data to get their electronic identity cards (e-IDs). The Home Ministry carried out the program at Taman Mini Indonesia Indah.
