Initially, the meeting between Commission XI and the Minister of Manpower Ida was open to the public. Not long after, the Minister of Manpower Ida suddenly asked Commission IX to hold a closed working meeting today.

Ida explained that actually the one authorized to discuss the deepening of the Keppu Cipta Keja is another ministry. But unfortunately, Ida did not specify the ministry in question.

On this occasion, Ida also asked Commission IX to discuss the deepening of the Job Creation Perppu, especially the Employment cluster, which can be carried out in a closed manner.

"The permission of the leadership may be if possible while it is actually the one who gets the mandate to explain to the DPR is another ministry, maybe if you want to do an in-depth investigation, maybe it will be more flexible if the meeting is held behind closed doors," he said.
