Vice President Hopes Revision Of Village Law On Accommodation Of Apdesi's Aspirations

Vice President Ma'ruf Amin hopes that the revision of the Village Law can accommodate the aspirations of the All-Indonesian Village Government Association (Apdesi) which demands 10 percent of village funds sourced from the State Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBN).

"Currently, the Law on Villages is being carried out, there are changes or improvements. Yes, we hope that later this aspiration can be part of the discussion," said the Vice President in a press statement on the sidelines of a working visit in Banyuasin, South Sumatra, reported by ANTARA, Friday, July 7.

The vice president asked the village government officials to wait for the final decision from the discussion on the revision of the Village Law. According to him, it is only natural that there are many views in a change of law.

"Indeed, there are many views, but attention to the village apparatus already exists. (Regarding) how and how much, where (the budget) was taken, I think that will be discussed later from the amendment to the Village Law," explained the Vice President.
