JAKARTA - The Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) has decided to temporarily suspend the issuance of a Letter of Determination of the Release Time (SPWP) for the export of lobster clear seeds (BBL). This was in line with the arrest of KKP Minister Edhy Prabowo.
The decision to temporarily suspend the issuance of SPWP is based on Circular Letter Number B. 22891 / DJPT / PI.130 / XI / 2020 signed by Plt. KKP Director General of Capture Fisheries Muhammad Zaini Thursday, November 26.
In the SE KKP, it explains the reasons for termination in order to improve the management of clear lobster seeds as regulated in the Regulation of the KP Number 12 of 2020 concerning the Management of Lobster (Panulirus spp.), Crab (Scylla spp.), And Crab (Portunus spp.) In the Management Area Fisheries of the Republic of Indonesia.
KKP Secretary General, Antam Novambar said the temporary suspension will take effect from Thursday, November 26, until an undetermined time.
In addition, said Antam, the export stop was in the context of considering the process of revising the Government Regulation on Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) within the KKP.
"The circular is issued today and is valid until an undetermined time limit," he said, in a written statement received by VOI, Thursday, November 26.
KKP, said Antam, provides an opportunity for exporting companies that have BBL in their packing houses to immediately remove these commodities from Indonesia.
"No later than one day after the circular is published," he said.
As is known, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) named Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Edhy Prabowo as a suspect after being arrested on his return from the United States (US) on Wednesday, November 25, early morning.
The determination of the suspect prompted Edhy to resign from his position as Minister of KP and Deputy Chairman of the Gerindra Party.
According to President Joko Widodo's direction, the Minister of State Secretary appointed the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan as the Ad Interim Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries.
This assignment is valid until the stipulation of the Daily Executive (Plh) of the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries by a Presidential Decree.
Previously, information on Luhut's appointment as the Minister of KKP Ad Interim was known from the Circular Number: B-835 / SJ / XI / 2020 which was signed by the Secretary General of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries in November on Wednesday, November 25. The letter was addressed to echelon I to all employees within the KKP.
