Chairperson of the Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI) Ai Maryati Solihah has said that the commission remains committed to providing optimal services to people seeking to register complaints.
“The KPAI will provide optimal services to the community in the form of receiving complaints, be it in the form of mediation, cooperation, and others. That is our big commitment so that the benefits of the KPAI can be felt immediately,” she added here on Thursday.
Under her leadership, the KPAI will also strengthen supervision in the context of implementation, prevention, treatment, recovery, and rehabilitation of children.
The KPAI carries out direct and indirect supervision, Solihah said.
“In direct (supervision), of course, we see the urgency of supervision in every report, in every case, in every output or implemented protection system, whether there are unfinished problems or not. That is where we move,” she explained.
In addition, the commission is also trying to innovate online evaluation, monitoring, and reporting systems.
KPAI will measure the achievements of and obstacles faced by ministries, agencies, and local governments in carrying out their child protection duties and functions, she said.
The KPAI chairperson expressed the hope that child protection institutions will cooperate better to prevent violence against children.
“It is important for us all to work together to carry out the big mandate of the Indonesian Child Protection Commission,” she highlighted.
Solihah has been selected as chairperson of the KPAI and Jasra Putra as its deputy chairperson for the 2022–2027 period. KPAI has seven more members.
The two leaders and seven members of KPAI were approved based on Presidential Decree Number 127/P of 2022 concerning the dismissal of members of the Indonesian Child Protection Commission for the 2017–2022 period and the appointment of members of the Indonesian Child Protection Commission for the 2022–2027 period.
