JAKARTA - The Governor of North Sumatra (Gubsu) Edy Rahmayadi has followed up on his commitment to review the Omnibus Law of the Job Creation Law. The final draft of the Job Creation Law was discussed with a number of parties.

"To follow up on our commitment during the Ciptaker Law action yesterday, today I have gathered a number of academics, religious leaders, community leaders and representatives of labor organizations to jointly discuss this Job Creation Law," said Governor Edy Rahmayadi, Thursday, October 15.

The draft Job Creation Law that is being held is quite thick with 812 pages. The review is carried out to accommodate input and aspirations on the contents of the Job Creation Law.

"God willing, I will immediately convey it to President Jokowi. Pray that our efforts today will be fruitful for all of us. As the Governor of North Sumatra, of course I want the best for my people, because I was elected by the people, so I will take sides, God willing, for the people, ”said Edy.

Appreciated by the Minister of Home Affairs

The Minister of Home Affairs (Mendagri) Tito Karnavian appreciated the actions and efforts of the Governor of North Sumatra, Edy Rahmayadi, in responding to the aspirations of the people in North Sumatra who rejected the Job Creation Law. This can be used as an example for other regional heads in Indonesia in accepting people's aspirations.

The Minister of Home Affairs stated that the Omnibus Law was formed to address the fundamental problems in Indonesia, related to population growth and aging. More than 240 million people aged 60 years and under and there are 6.9 million unemployed. According to him, this is a big problem for the government that must be used to make it more productive.

"We have to open up jobs in various regions by taking advantage of the role of the private sector, opening up the business climate for both domestic and foreign investors by cutting the convoluted bureaucracy. I think this law can benefit both the government and others. "We understand this because we have a different understanding even though we don't have the original draft of the Job Creation Law itself," the Minister of Home Affairs was quoted as saying in a press release by the North Sumatra Provincial Government, Wednesday, October 14.

Meanwhile, Edy reported that since the ratification of the Job Creation Bill into Law through the DPR plenary meeting on October 5, there had been a wave of demonstrations against workers and student groups in North Sumatra.

"With the alertness and synergy of the security forces from the TNI and Polri to oversee the process of conveying this opinion, North Sumatra remains in a conducive and controlled condition. It can be reported that the demonstrations that have occurred have not had an impact on the deterioration of various development indicators, especially the development of the COVID-19 case in North Sumatra. , "explained Edy.
