JAKARTA - The Job Creation Law was polemic after it was passed due to the addition of pages and the deletion of one article.

Member of the Legislation Body (Baleg) DPR RI from the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) faction Mulyanto said that President Joko Widodo's desire to form this law was not carried out by his ministers. Jokowi first mentioned this law in his inauguration speech, 20 October.

"It seems that the fast work ordered by the president has turned into reckless work," said Mulyanto, quoted from his written statement, Tuesday, October 27.

Mulyanto noted Jokowi's statement asking for this law to be accelerated. Among other things, when Jokowi spoke at the Financial Services Industry Annual Meeting in early January this year. At that time, Jokowi alluded to the need for the Job Creation Law to be accelerated in order to reform the licensing sector.

In the event, Jokowi also mentioned the many overlapping permits at the central and regional levels so that this law must be drafted immediately to anticipate the impact of national and global economic development.

"So if asked who ordered the Ciptaker Bill to be done quickly? Yes, the president himself. On several occasions the president stated that," he said.

Also in this event, continued Mulyanto, Jokowi would appreciate when the Work Creation Law could be completed by the DPR RI within 100 days.

Then, on December 27, 2019, in a limited meeting regarding the Work Creation Bill at the Bogor Presidential Palace, West Java, Jokowi also asked that the discussion be completed immediately.

He continued, this is the reason that the discussion of the Job Creation Bill is still being carried out even though Indonesia has just entered the COVID-19 pandemic period.

"Actually, the Ciptaker Bill has nothing to do with the COVID-19 pandemic, because this bill was drafted long before the Corona disaster came. Thus, the discussion of the Ciptaker Bill should not have to be rushed, catch up, hit the day. holiday, recess time, "he said.

Therefore, he considered, the ranks of the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet had actually misinterpreted Jokowi's wishes regarding the Job Creation Law.

"Quick work is meant by the President's assistants into quick work, even though it is haphazard or reckless," he concluded.
