Receive The Ministry Bill With Notes, PKS Emphasizes The Issue Of Efficiency To The Prabowo Gibran Government

JAKARTA - The PKS faction accepted with a note on the revision of Law Number 39 of 2007 concerning the Ministry of State to become a bill for proposing the DPR initiative. PKS emphasized the issue of being efficient in administering government to the elected President when forming his cabinet.

Member of the Legislation Body (Baleg) of the DPR RI from the PKS faction, Almuzzammil Yusuf explained, the president as the holder of government power in carrying out his duties was assisted by state ministers in charge of certain affairs in the government sector. Government power, he said, plays an important role in realizing state goals.

"As mandated in the Preamble to the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia," Muzammil told reporters, Friday, May 17. Muzammil said, there are several things related to the Draft Law on Amendments to Law Number 39 of 2008 concerning the Ministry of State. First, the PKS faction is of the opinion that the amendment to the Law of the Ministry of State is a must due to the decision of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia Number 79/PUU-IX/2011 regarding the explanation of Article 10 is removed.

Second, the PKS faction is of the opinion to add the word 'efficiency' in the provisions of Article 15 which was changed, which reads The total number of Ministries as referred to in Article 12, Article 13, and Article 14 is determined in accordance with the needs of the President by taking into account the effectiveness and efficiency of government administration'.

"The principle of effectiveness and efficiency does not conflict with the spirit of respect for the authority of the President as the Head of Government. Because with him the elected President is authorized to add or reduce ministries according to needs," he said.

According to Muzammil, the principle of effectiveness and efficiency also provides a good governance direction for the realization as much as justice and welfare of all Indonesian people. Previously, the Legislation Body of the DPR RI approved the draft Law (RUU) of the Ministry of State as an initiative bill from the DPR RI in a meeting at the DPR Building, Senayan, Thursday, May 16.

Baleg will immediately send the draft bill to the leadership of the DPR RI so that it can be approved in the upcoming plenary meeting. "So the revision of the State Ministry Law has been decided to become a bill for proposing the DPR initiative. Then we will submit it to the leadership to be finalized, so that it becomes an official draft of the DPR proposal and after that the DPR leadership will send it to the president," said Chairman of the DPR Baleg Supratman Andi Agtas at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Thursday, May 16.
