00:00The last question is about the issue of the citizens, maybe you can tell us a little bit about the KPI, the Ministry of Home Affairs, in solving this problem.

00:09My main focus now is the children born outside the marriage alliance.

00:15The second category is the request of the citizens involving adopted children.

00:21The third category is children born abroad from the mother of the citizens, but the father is not a citizen.

00:29These three categories are the highest number of requests.

00:34Actually, it can be solved by using the existing formula in the Ministry of Home Affairs, which is 15A.

00:42There are very few requests under naturalization, very, very few.

00:47So when I look at the request data profile, I found that the number of children born outside the marriage alliance is high.

00:55So I think these children don't need to be punished above 8,000 fathers.

01:00Therefore, my advice to the citizens of KPN is an immediate process.

01:06Therefore, we set our KPI for last year, we set the KPI at 14,000.

01:15We reached it on December 4, 2023.

01:19And now we have entered the sixth month.

01:24And the number is already more than 15,000.
