00:00The Minister of Communications and Digital Affairs, Mutia Hafid, said that the cancellation of the development of the National Data Center in Batam, Riau Island, was not due to budget efficiency.
00:15After hearing the opinion of the 1st DPR RI Commission in Jakarta on Wednesday, February 4, Mutia explained that the construction contract of the Batam PDN with South Korea has not been completed for two years.
00:30Therefore, the budget allocated by the DPR RI Commission for some of the PDNs will be reimbursed.
00:38So there is no cancellation of the Batam PDN project due to efficiency, not at all.
00:44The condition is that the contract, which was a very early contract at that time with South Korea, was not implemented for two years.
00:53So, because it didn't work, the budget from the DPR RI Commission was reimbursed to the government.
00:59Regarding the budget, Mutia stated that there is still an opportunity to do budget efficiency without disturbing the basic services of the Ministry of Communications and Digital Affairs for the public.
