JAKARTA - The Regional Regulation Formation Agency (Bapemperda) of the DKI Jakarta DPRD seeks that the Draft Regional Regulation (Raperda) for Non-Smoking Areas (KTR) and the Legal Aid Raperda can be discussed next year.

Deputy Chairman of Bapemperda of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Suhaimi, explained that the two regional regulations that have been proposed for years are expected to be included in the priority Raperda in 2023.

"Bapemperda will try it as much as possible (to discuss the Raperda KTR and the Raperda Legal Aid). We also want to discuss a more effective mechanism for discussion," said Suhaimi in a statement quoted from the official website of the DKI DPRD, Wednesday, October 19.

The KTR Raperda has been proposed since 2016 and has been pushed back to become a priority Raperda several times and lastly in 2020.

Meanwhile, the Raperda Legal Aid has been proposed since 2014. However, until now, the two regional regulations have not been discussed and are included in the discussion priorities.

According to Suhaimi, the two Raperda have been awaited to be ratified by the people of Jakarta. He also hopes that the Raperda KTR which will be ratified later can strengthen Governor Regulation number 40 of 2020 concerning guidelines for implementing, supervising and enforcing non-smoking areas.

Meanwhile, for the Regional Regulation on Legal Aid, Suhaimi appealed to the executive to prepare all the basics and requirements carefully. So, there are no obstacles when Bapemperda conducts discussions.

"So, we hope that the executive once proposes, is responsible. Don't just give a title, when we want to discuss there is no NA (Academic Naskah). Not ready yet. So it's good to be proposed and ready," he explained.

For information, currently there are 35 proposals for the Raperda from 21 regional work units (SKPD) of DKI Jakarta. 35 draft regional level regulations will be filtered again to determine priorities.

The 35 interim Raperda proposals from the executive are Changes in the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget for Fiscal Year 2023, Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget for Fiscal Year 2024, Accountability for the Implementation of the APBD for Fiscal Year 2022, Utilities Network, Electronic Traffic Control.
