The Job Creation Law Is Claimed To Reduce Extortion In The Transportation Sector

JAKARTA - Transportation observer Djoko Setijowarno said that the Job Creation Law can reduce illegal fees for traffic impact analysis (Andalalin) that investors have been complaining about.

"The Job Creation Law can be reduced," said Djoko as quoted by Antara , Saturday, October 17.

He said that all this time relialalin was used by a number of elements, especially in the regions, to collect informal levies on entrepreneurs.

In fact, studies on reliability should only be carried out on large-scale developments such as stadiums, shopping centers and housing so that traffic on site is not disturbed.

According to him, the Andalalin that was asked for a small building such as a shop-house seemed forced, because it could become an alibi to carry out illegal fees.

"If you want to make Andalalin per region, not one by one, for example reliablealalin for Jalan Jenderal Sudirman, Jakarta," said this observer from Soegijapranata Catholic University, Semarang.

In addition, he said the Job Creation Law could open up opportunities for third parties in the provision and maintenance of main facilities and supporting facilities for passenger terminals.

The regulation states that the implementation of land transportation infrastructure can cooperate with third parties or private parties through PPP, KSP, and so on.

With the entry of the private sector to manage the terminal, the burden of the APBN or APBD in financing can be reduced.

"This is very good. But it must also be accompanied by procurement of transportation," said Djoko.
