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.
