DPRD DIY literacy and legislative oversight initiatives

Overview

The Yogyakarta Regional House of Representatives (DPRD DIY), in collaboration with the Regional Library and Archives Office (DPAD DIY), hosted a book discussion for ‘1001 Tanya untuk Wakil Rakyat’ (1001 Questions for People's Representatives) in Yogyakarta.

During the event, Vice Chairman Budi Waljiman highlighted the necessity of digital literacy to assist citizens in distinguishing valid news from unverified content. He noted that enhanced reading habits allow the public to better understand complex issues and avoid misinformation.

Author Farhan Acha stated that the book is intended as a guide to encourage citizens to actively monitor government performance rather than remaining passive voters. The text addresses the three primary functions of representatives—legislation, budgeting, and oversight—by providing over 1,000 data-based questions to assist the public in evaluating the professionalism and integrity of elected officials.
