JAKARTA - Many regulations made by the regional government make the central government inflexible. This was said by President Joko Widodo in front of regional heads who attended the National Government Coordination Meeting and Forkopimda 2019 at the Sentul International Convention Center (SICC), West Java, Wednesday, November 13 2019.
"I have ordered, do not make many perda (regional regulations), do not make lots of governor regulations, and guardians (mayor regulations)," said Jokowi.
Jokowi said that there were too many regional regulations, which disturbed the acceleration of development because they clashed with other regulations.
“Our country is not a regulatory country. Everything is arranged even we get caught alone. Be careful, stop it already, "he said.
He teased regional heads who frequently visit work or do comparative studies to make new regulations in their regions. The regional head who was present at the location laughed at Jokowi's statement.
"I know what is in the kunker, comparative study, I understand what is there. I am a field person. But stopped. "

To that end, Jokowi will propose an omnibus law which results in 70 revised laws.
Apart from the local government, Jokowi also insinuated the ministers in his cabinet who often made new ministerial regulations and slowed down government work.
"The minister wants to make one Permen (Ministerial Regulation) but 10 candies are lost," he said.
He said, in the United States under Donald Trump's era, if the ministry was going to make new regulations, it had to remove the two previous rules. Thus, existing regulations do not overlap and disturb the flexibility of government.
“Most of the regulations are a headache on their own. Flexibility is most important, speed. All countries go there. Who is faster, he will win, "he said.
In addition to the matter of regulations, Jokowi also reminded government officials to work together between institutions, there is no need to blame each other when working. This message is also intended for law enforcement
"No blaming each other, whispers, it's stopped. Everyone must work together as long as our political atmosphere is very good, "said Jokowi
