This effort was made because the party realized that the human resources it had were not qualified enough.
However, the party is still trying to always upgrade with training.
"Even so, it is not as capable as BSSN people," he stressed.
He admitted that the website security budget was budgeted at around Rp 50 million. This amount was deemed insufficient to maintain security.
