Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia (ORI) has declared ten villages in Kotabaru District, South Kalimantan Province, as antimaladministration villages and will be a pilot in Indonesia.
"The ten villages were determined from 40 nominated villages from a total 198 villages of 22 sub-districts in Kotabaru District. They were designated as representatives of each sub-district that had met the criteria," said Head of South Kalimantan Ombudsman Representative Hadi Rahman in Batulicin, Wednessday.
Ten villages have been declared as antimaladministration were Semayap, Pulau Laut Utara Sub-district, Tirawan, Pulau Laut Sigam Sub-district, Berangas, Pulau Laut Timur Sub-district, Sukamaju, Kelumpang Selatan Sub-district.
Then Bumi Asih, Kelumpang Selatan Sub-district, Serongga, Kelumpang Hilir Sub-district, Manunggul Lama, Sungai Durian Sub-district, Rantau Jaya, Sungai Durian Sub-district, Kanibungan, Sebuku Sub-district, and Tebing Tinggi, Kelumpang Tengah Sub-district.
Each village, Hadi said, had gone through the process of assisting or fulfilling the instrument, and the Kotabaru government had verified the initial one and South Kalimantan Ombudsman verified the follow-up.
The initial process of assistance in launching antimaladministration had been implemented since 2022.
"This was formed because it is important for us to realize the quality public services, down to the village level, which is the spearhead of the public services closest to the community," said Hadi.
