At the commemoration of the 31st anniversary of the Indonesian Telematics Society (Mastel) here on Wednesday, she informed that her ministry has established the Directorate of Digital Governance.
The directorate has been formed to accelerate the integration of the government's digital services.
She said that she held a coordination meeting with chair of the National Economic Committee (DEN), Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, and several ministries and agencies to discuss the digital transformation within the government.
The results of the meeting, she informed, will be reported to President Prabowo Subianto after he returns from his state visit.
"This is a serious effort that he (the President) does not only convey through his speech; we have also been asked to accelerate it," she said.
She further said that readiness for digitalization in the government environment must be enhanced early next year.
The minister emphasized that this will require quick measures and collaboration from various sectors.
In this regard, she expressed optimism that the effort can be realized, especially with the solidarity demonstrated by the various parties involved in Mastel.
Earlier, during the commemoration of World Anti-Corruption Day in Jakarta on Tuesday, Hafid highlighted that digital transformation is a key tool to eradicate corruption within the government.
"The Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs plays a central role in building a digital system that supports corruption prevention," she said.
She explained that the commitment to eradicating corruption has become one of the national priorities under the leadership of President Prabowo, as stated in the seventh Asta Cita goal.
