By: Muhammad Ridwan )*
In the midst of the process of drafting derivative regulations on the Job Creation Law, the Government has formed a team that visited several cities to absorb input and responses from the public regarding the Job Creation Law.
Secretary of the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs, Susiwijiono Moegiarso, said the government wanted to explain the main points of the substance stipulated in the Job Creation Law.
In the city of Surabaya, the government asked for views from the trade, industry, religion, halal product assurance, health, and environment and forestry sectors.
Apart from that, the government also held similar activities in 2 other cities. The first was in Banjarmasih with a focus on discussing the risk-based business licensing sector, MSMEs and employment.
Apart from absorbing the aspirations of the City of Heroes, the government also absorbs aspirations in Manado with a focus on the marine and fisheries sector, agriculture, ease of doing business in the regions, as well as energy and mineral resources.
On previous occasions, the government has also held a similar activity in Jakarta to discuss the taxation, land, spatial planning and national strategic projects in Palembang.
In addition, a similar event was also held in Bali with a focus on the local tax and retribution sector, MSMEs, cooperatives and labor.
The government has emphasized the need for the community to be more active in providing input, the government will also immediately carry out socialization and public consultation, by preparing socialization events in various regions throughout the Republic of Indonesia.
The government has also opened a space for dialogue to the public who wish to provide direct input through the Job Copyright Law portal on the www.uu-ciptakerja.go.id page.
The government certainly hopes that by providing easy access to the public, both physical and online, it will make it easier and faster to encourage the public to be able to provide input on the substance and material of the RPP and Rperpres derived from the Job Creation Law.
Now the government is finalizing 44 implementing regulations for the Job Creation Law, consisting of 40 government regulations (PP) and 4 presidential regulations (Perpres).
Previously, the million government had opened the widest possible space for the public to be able to provide input and suggestions in drafting derivative regulations from the Job Creation Law after it was promulgated on November 2, 2020.
The President of the Republic of Indonesia, Ir Joko Widodo, has also ensured that the government will be open to receiving input from all parties in making the rules for the Job Creation Law.
The results of the absorption of aspirations obtained are expected to be able to make the RPP that is made later, to accommodate all the aspirations of business actors and society in Indonesia.
Meanwhile, the Director of the Indonesian Employers’ Association (APINDO) Agung Pambudhi hopes that the government can solve investment problems and make efforts through the derivative regulations of the Job Creation Law that are being drafted.
Of course, to respond to this, the government must have a firm stance as the holder of the licensing policy and legal regulations.
Entrepreneurs of course really hope that licensing services will provide more certainty than before the Job Creation Law.
He also hopes that there will be an investment that must be reflected strongly from all the RPP made by the government.
For example, regarding the ease of obtaining a system-based permit, starting from meeting the document requirements to the business actor or applicant obtaining the permit.
Now Indonesia has more than 43,000 regulations, consisting of 18,000 central regulations, 14,000 ministerial regulations, 4,000 LPNK regulations and nearly 16,000 regional regulations.
The Job Creation Law certainly has the aim of providing protection and convenience for MSMEs and cooperatives to enter the formal sector through ease of establishment, licensing and guidance.
To produce a good and implementative formulation of implementing regulations on the Job Creation Law, of course, requires good coordination and synergy between the government and all stakeholders.
The derivative regulations of the Job Creation Law are certainly expected to be in line with the spirit of the above regulations so as not to cause overlapping regulations and other investment barriers.
The opening of space for dialogue to gather aspirations with the wider community certainly proves that the government is open and transparent to all input and criticism so that the Job Creation Law can provide the widest possible benefit to the community.
