INTRODUCTION Indonesia as a democratic country aims to create a transparent and accountable Openness of public information is one of the keys to forming public trust and creating good governance. This principle of transparency and accountability ensures that the government can be monitored by the public and is responsible for all its actions. In this way, 1465 | P a g e https://dinastires. org/JLPH Vol. No. January 2025 the right to information becomes very dominant because the administration of the state becomes more accountable or has higher accountability. Considering this, information openness is an inseparable condition in the reciprocal relationship between society and Both those involving individual interests and representing the public interest in accessing public information. Information is everyone's basic need for personal development and their social environment and is an important part of national security, and the right to obtain information is a human right. Information is information, statements, ideas and signs that contain values, meanings and messages, both data, facts and explanations that can be seen, heard and read which are presented in various packages and formats in accordance with the development of information and communication technology globally. electronic or non-electronic. According to Gordon B. Davis in his book entitled Management Information Systems, he provides the view that information is data that has been processed into a form that is useful for users, and has real thought value for current decision making or for future prospects. Openness of public information is essentially a consequence of democracy where it is the people's right to know what is being carried out by state administrators who have been given a mandate by the people. Public Information is information produced, stored, managed, sent and/or received by a public body relating to state administration and/or the administration of other public bodies in accordance with the Law, as well as other information relating to the public interest. Indonesia has established the legal basis for information disclosure through Law Number 14 of 2008 concerning Public Information Openness (UU KIP). This Public Information Openness Law requires public bodies, including ministries, state institutions, and State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN), to provide information openly, and regulates Public Information that is excluded from being confidential in accordance with the Law, propriety, and public interest is based on an examination of the consequences that arise if information is provided to the public and after careful consideration that closing public information that has been excluded can protect greater interests than having to open it or vice versa. If viewed based on the purpose of the KIP Law itself, it is to guarantee everyone's right to obtain open information, so that it can foster public participation in decision making, and can prevent abuse of authority and corruption from public officials. Openness of public information, as a constitutional mandate, which can be seen in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia article 28f states that "Everyone has the right to communicate and obtain information to develop their personal and social environment, as well as the right to seek, obtain, own, store, process and convey information using all available " Based on this, openness of public information provides guarantees for everyone to obtain information.

PT Pelindo has a legal obligation to implement the principle of public information disclosure. This Openness of Public Information is regulated in Law Number 14 of 2008 concerning Openness of Public Information (UU KIP), which requires BUMN including PT Pelindo Regional 1 to provide information transparently and accountably to the public in accordance with UU KIP NO. 14 of PT Pelindo Regional 1's obligation as a State-Owned Enterprise (BUMN) to open access to information to the public is regulated by various regulations, including the Public Information Openness Law (UU KIP) and a number of internal directors' guidelines and regulations governing corporate governance. Public Information Disclosure is regulated in board of directors regulations which regulate procedures and mechanisms for conveying 1466 | P a g e https://dinastires. org/JLPH Vol. No. January 2025 information to the public. In implementing Public Information Openness (KIP), of course there are several potential obstacles to implementation in the field, starting from a lack of public understanding regarding public information disclosure and a lack of understanding about the types of information that can be accessed by the public. Therefore, it is necessary to discuss further regarding the legal review of the implementation of public information disclosure at PT Pelindo (Perser. Regional 1 against existing internal regulations, as well as how open public information disclosure can be shared and cannot be shared according to Law No. 14 of 2008 and existing internal regulations.

There are suggestions for companies.

Information that may not be disclosed under the Law. On the one hand. PT Pelindo (Perser. as a public body which is obliged to provide public information must comply with the principle of openness in accordance with Law no. of 2008, but on the other hand, companies also have an obligation to protect certain information that could be strategically detrimental to the company if published to the public. In this case. PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Perser. in its internal regulations has provided more detailed guidelines regarding the classification and management of excluded information, as well as mechanisms for handling requests for information related to this category. For example, if there is a request for information regarding business contracts or a company's financial strategy. PPID will assess whether the information meets the exception criteria and can reject the request in accordance with Article 35 of Law no. 14 of 2008, which allows Public Bodies to refuse to provide information if it falls into an exception category. However, the existence of this excluded information often gives rise to disputes over information disclosure, where the party requesting the information feels that their rights have not been fulfilled when the PPID refuses the request for information. which is in accordance with Article 17 of Law no. 14 of 2008 clearly regulates the types of information that can be denied access. Because this information that cannot be shared is often related to security, trade secrets, or that could hinder the law enforcement process. In resolving public information disclosure disputes, this is regulated in the Public Information Openness Law. This law provides an objection and dispute resolution mechanism which can be carried out through the Public Information Commission. As an example, at PT Pelindo Reginal 1 there was a public information disclosure dispute where the information applicant assumed that he had followed the procedure for submitting a public information request to request information regarding copies of RAB documents and accountability reports but was not given a response or answer from PT Pelindo so the applicant submitted a dispute. Information to the information commission. In resolving the dispute. PT Pelindo (Perser. Regional 1 . s responden. stated that the reason the applicant's request was not granted was because the applicant did not fulfill complete procedures in submitting a request for public information where the applicant did not attach a photocopy of his KTP and the purpose of the information request in submitting the information request was not is clear and also the information requested is still in the process of being investigated by the High Prosecutor's Office so that information cannot be provided to the But the applicant argued that the information was open and the respondent had the right to obtain the information. On the other hand, the respondent's attorney also emphasized that the request for information was beyond their authority to provide, because it was still in the legal process, in accordance with the provisions regulated in Article 17 letter a number 1 of the KIP Law which states that public bodies are not obliged to provide information if can hinder investigations. Regarding this dispute, the Board of Commissioners decided to reject the information dispute request because the panel was of the opinion that the information requested by the applicant, related to the project being investigated, could not be fulfilled by PT Pelindo as the In article 17 letter a number 1 UU NO. 14 of 2008 which states that information that can hinder the investigation and investigation process of a criminal act is excluded information and cannot be disclosed to the public. The panel considered that based on this, the respondent did not have the authority to provide the public information requested by the applicant, so there was no obligation for the respondent to provide the a quo information to the 1473 | P a g e https://dinastires. org/JLPH Vol. No. January 2025 Thus, this decision illustrates that although there is a law regulating public information disclosure, its implementation is still hampered by the existence of excluded information, which has the potential to give rise to disputes. The information dispute at PT Pelindo (Perser. Regional 1 is an example that shows that companies are often faced with a dilemma between protecting their strategic interests and meeting the public's demands for openness. In several cases. PT Pelindo succeeded in defending their decision not to disclose information considered company confidential, on the grounds that the information fell into an exempt category according to regulations. Therefore, it is very important to comply with existing regulations while still trying to provide the best possible transparency. Excluded information can not only affect the applicant's satisfaction with the information disclosure process, but also has the potential to create distrust in the community, especially in this case towards PT Pelindo (Perser. as a Public Body. And therefore it is important for the Information and Documentation Management Officer (PPID) to ensure that the information is managed in accordance with applicable regulations. This capacity increase is expected to help minimize information disputes and increase transparency and public trust in PT Pelindo as a responsible BUMN. CONCLUSION From the discussion above, the implementation of public information disclosure at PT Pelindo Regional 1, based on Law no. 14 of 2008 with existing internal regulations, namely in the regulations of the Board of Directors of PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Perser. Number: HK. 01/3/10/1/KMKP/UTMA/PLND-22 concerning the Implementation of Openness of Public Information within PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Perser. and guidelines for implementing Public Information Openness (KIP) are in harmony. Fiber PT Pelindo (Persero, especially Regional . shows significant efforts to increase transparency and accountability as a State-Owned Enterprise. The formation of an Information and Documentation Management Officer (PPID) and the implementation of internal regulations are strategic steps in managing requests for public information. However, in its implementation there are still The challenge is the public's ignorance regarding public information and especially excluded public information, therefore PT Pelindo Regional 1 needs to increase outreach to the public, provide training to PPID, collaborate with related parties, and carry out regular evaluations to ensure effectiveness and to the applicable rules. The types of public information at PT Pelindo (Perser. Regional 1 are divided into. Public Information that must be provided and announced periodically. Public Information that must be announced immediately. A Information that must be available at all times and information that is excluded. In concrete cases involving information disputes, it appears that PT Pelindo adheres to existing legal provisions, refusing to provide information that is currently under investigation, in accordance with Article 17 of Law NO. 14 of 2008 concerning Openness of Public Information. The decision of the panel of commissioners to reject this request for information shows that although the KIP Law aims to encourage openness, in reality there are still obstacles in its implementation. It is important for companies to increase information regarding the disclosure of public information, especially regarding public information and excluded public information and to maintain compliance with applicable legal provisions. Thus, it is hoped that these steps can create greater public trust in PT Pelindo and ensure that the principle of information disclosure can be realized optimally. 1474 | P a g e https://dinastires. org/JLPH Vol. No. January 2025 REFERENCE
