Kusuma Dewi added that the award received from the Ombudsman is an important momentum for the City of Denpasar to further strengthen its positive image as a city with superior public services.

In addition, the Denpasar City Government is also committed to continuing to innovate in improving the quality of services for its citizens.

By utilizing more efficient technology and systems, the Denpasar City Government hopes to provide better, faster, and more accessible services to the public.

This achievement also shows that the Denpasar City Government’s efforts to improve the quality of public services are not only temporary, but part of a sustainable effort to create better governance.
