In a direct election by making use of information technology (IT) or e-voting, Americans must recognize the benefits of Jembrana. The reason, in the election of village heads, Jembrana has fully utilize IT in the U.S. while still using the two ways of e-voting and election.

Winasa statements made Ted amazed at his country because the election was still using two systems, both e-voting and the election. “America needs 200 years to make e-voting but Jembrana just nine years. Unbelievable. Looks like America needs to learn to Jembrana, “he said. In addition to e-voting, Ted also admitted “losing” with innovation Jembrana insure the entire population’s health because he thinks his country not all residents receive the insurance.
“In America everybody is not insured. Apparently I need to learn to state here (Jembrana, red), “he said. Consistency Winasa in fighting corruption and creating good governance also seems to make Ted curious. “You are known to be successful in managing the government in the era of regional autonomy. What’s your recipe for success? “He said in English and a curious expression. Ted’s question is the main question is always asked by thousands of work requests from various agencies, governments and government agencies both within and outside the country. “Prescription only efficiency and effectiveness of managing the funds, people and tools to make the default. We call the DOA management (Dana, People and Tools, ed). If it’s efficient, funds collected could be used to improve public services, “said Winasa. Because still less understood, the long dialogue between Ted and discussing Winasa DOApun management occurs. “Yes, I finally understand,” Ted said as he nodded his head. After discussing the problem of DOA management, Ted and drilled Winasa of formula handling of corruption in Jembrana. “You are also known expert in the fight against corruption. How do you do that? “He asked. Winasapun said corruption was true not only took their money illegally, but also including corruption inefficiency. “The most important thing for me, how the corruption that did not happen because when it happened costs incurred to pursue corrupt may be larger than the state money that was corrupted by the corrupt,” he said. Prevention of corruption can be done, added Winasa, by applying various standards, both the costs, procedures and time. “Back again, the formula is how we can close the gap corruption by making a variety of standards, both time, cost and procedure,” added Winasa. In front of the guests, Winasa also said that if the entire population of Jembrana health insured by the government.
Row range of awards which are displayed in the room also provoke questions for the deputy ambassador who loved fried rice and meatballs are. “Recognition is a form of admission alone but most importantly we must not stop in innovation,” explained Winasa.
Actually, Ted’s visit this time also to follow up the cooperation between the Indonesian government and the U.S. agreed by their leaders. “The essence of cooperation is education. My arrival to explore the cooperation in education and health. Now I offer cooperation with the USA Company for libraries and schools, “he said.
