Jakarta (ANTARA) - Indonesian Presidential Candidate Ganjar Pranowo said that the presence of an invincible identity card (KTP Sakti) would improve and accommodate data collection on people with disabilities with just one card.
On the fifth presidential debate on Sunday, he conveyed that the country must improve data on the disabled community, including with the "KTP Sakti" program.
"The identity card is expected to profile each piece of data, including data on people with disabilities; with that, we can accommodate them with anything," Ganjar stated.
He then emphasized that the country must be present and should not forget inclusiveness, including when planning development. Disability groups must also be present and given space for their opinions to be heard so policies can be made according to their needs.
