T
he Jakarta Council has launched an application called Council Aspiration and Information System (SIAP Dewan) aimed at facilitating reports from members of the public.
“The app aims to inform people on the activities of city councillors and also as serve as a channel to express their aspirations,” City Council secretary M. Yuliadi said on Saturday as reported by kompas.com.
No details were immediately provided on the budget to develop the app.
