According to Transparency International’s 2015 Corruption Perception Index (CPI), Indonesia ranked in only 88th position out of a total of 168 countries. According to Corruption Eradication Commissioner (KPK) Commissioner, Laode Muhammad Syarif, this low ranking has mainly been due to Indonesia’s high level of small-scale corruption and illegal levies (pungutan liar).
In a bid to prevent and eventually eradicate these illegal levies, specifically regarding the payment of traffic tickets (tilang), Inspector General Agung Budi Maryoto, the current Chief of the Police Traffic Corps (Korlantas), recently announced that a new mobile application for the online payment of traffic fines is all set to be rolled out, a system which is known as e-Tilang. The Inspector General also stressed that he was confident that this new electronic system would be able to prevent the bribery of police officers by offending motorists.
“This new system will decrease the amount of direct interaction currently taking place between offenders and officers, and represents a serious effort to provide more accessible, information-technology based public services,” Chief Maryoto stated in Jakarta on Tuesday, 25 October.
In order to pay traffic tickets electronically, offenders will only be required to download the e-Tilang application from mobile-application stores (e.g. Google Play, App Store) and can pay their tickets either via mobile banking (m-Banking) or electronic banking (e-Banking) applications.
“Moreover, motorists will also be able to settle their fines via ATMs [Automatic Teller Machines],” the Inspector General explained.
The Korlantas Chief went on to outline the new e-Tilang transaction procedures. Firstly, an officer issues a traffic ticket when a traffic offense is committed. After this step has been completed, the officer in question will then upload the relevant information relating to the offense to the e-Tilang application. The registration information and numbers for any issued tickets will then be made available to the offenders in question. If the offender has already installed either an e-Banking or an m-Banking application, then they can pay their fines directly.
“After payment [of a traffic fine], the offender’s driving license (Surat Izin Mengemudi/ - SIM) and vehicle-registration certificate (Surat Tanda Nomor Kendaraan/ - STNK) will be immediately returned. The offenders in question may then continue with their journeys,” Mr. Maryoto asserted.
It should be noted that e-Tilang will also impose a maximum fine threshold upon traffic offenses. Moreover, all of the usual judicial procedures will still be undertaken, while in cases of overpayment, the money will be returned to offenders’ bank accounts.
“If overpayment occurs, the offenders will receive notification via SMS [Short Message Service]. After this, banks will automatically return the overpaid amount,” Chief Maryoto clarified.
Ultimately, Korlantas is confident that it will be able to implement the e-Tilang system throughout Indonesia. With this end in mind, Korlantas will be cooperating with Bank Negara Indonesia (BNI). Furthermore, if any offenders do not possess smartphones, then traffic fines will still be payable through banks, just as they have always been.
