JAKARTA - The Association of Online Motorcycle Taxi Drivers, Garda Indonesia, expressed full support for the firmness of the Minister of MSME Maman Abdurrahman in escorting Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 27 of 2026. The government emphasized that it would not hesitate to impose the heaviest sanctions in the form of revocation of operational permits for online transportation application companies who are determined to violate the maximum commission provision of 8 percent.

Chairman of the Indonesian Guard, Raden Igun Wicaksono, emphasized that law enforcement (law enforcement) is the key to the success of this new regulation. Without strict supervision and real sanctions, the rules will only be administrative documents that do not impact the welfare of millions of driver partners.

"We fully support the firmness of the Minister of MSME. The state must not lose to business practices that ignore regulations. If it is proven to violate the maximum commission of 8 percent, withdraw the permit!"

Modus Pemotongan Terselubung Pasca-Kebijakan Komisi Ojol 8%

Since the policy of a maximum 8 percent application deduction has been officially implemented as of July 1, 2026, the Indonesian National Police has received many reports from the field. According to the association, the benefits of this policy have not been fully felt by the ojol drivers due to the existence of an "unconscious" system indication from the app.

Indication of Violation of the Aplicator in the Field

Tariff Scheme Changes: Adjustment of basic tariffs that adversely affect driver net income.

Algorithm Manipulation: Non-transparent changes to the order distribution algorithm.

Additional Cost Burden: Increase in service costs to consumers and indirect cuts.

Therefore, the Indonesian National Guard urges the government to conduct a thorough audit of the applicator business system, starting from the mechanism for calculating partner income, bonus structure, incentives, to the transparency of the algorithm.

Sanctions in stages to revocation of operational permits

The Indonesian National Guard reminds that Presidential Regulation Number 27 of 2026 was born from the long struggle of online taxi drivers throughout Indonesia. The action of the app that cuts driver income beyond the regulatory limit is a form of denial of the spirit of justice that the government has built with the DPR RI.

Administrative sanctions up to revocation of permits are considered as logical legal consequences. The government itself has prepared a mechanism for gradual sanctions for violators:

Written reprimand. A stern warning. Freezing of business activities. Permanent revocation of operating permits.

The form of the 8% Garda Task Force for National Supervision

To ensure that this rule runs consistently, the Indonesian National Guard asks the government to immediately establish a national monitoring mechanism involving relevant ministries, the Indonesian House of Representatives, driver associations, academics, and independent auditors.

As a concrete step from the internal side, the association has now officially reactivated participatory supervision through SATGAS 8% GARDA. This task force serves as a container for reports and evidence of alleged violations from ojol drivers throughout Indonesia, which will then be directly forwarded to the government and supervisory agencies.

For the Indonesian National Police, the success of the implementation of the 8 percent commission is not only measured by the number of deductions in the application, but also by the increase in the net income of drivers and the creation of a healthy and transparent partnership relationship.
