JAKARTA - The Presidential Special Staff for Creative Economy, Yovie Widianto, expressed his hope for the Commissioner of the National Collective Management Institute (LMKN) for the 2025-2028 period which was just inaugurated last week.

Through an official statement received by VOI today, Friday, August 15, Yovie hopes that LMKN can work well to become a trusted institution.

"I encourage transparency, accountability, and good distribution as a breath of trust in the new LMKN era," said Yovie.

"Transparency in the management of LMKN and LMK (Collective Management Institution) is not just a demand, but a form of accountability that must be shared between the creator, the public, and the state," he added.

With the enactment of Permenkum No. 27 of 2025, said Yovie, in particular Article 4, it has the spirit to prioritize transparency by mandated that LMKN can draw up a LMK code of ethics (letter b), standard operating procedures for LMK (letter d), system and procedure for payment of royalties from users to LMKN (letter e), as well as procedures for distributing royalties for creators, copyright holders and owners of related rights (letter f).

"With the new legal apparatus, all people in the music industry hope that the LMKN Commissioner can improve and carry out the mandate as well as possible," said Yovie.

The Kahitna frontman also invited all relevant parties to provide their support to LMKN, Serra escorted together to guard together with a clear heart.

"Hopefully every rupiah royalty reaches the hands of the creator fairly. Bringing benefits to the creators, strengthening the music ecosystem, and being an offering of love to the country we are proud of," he said.
