JAKARTA - The chairman of the Golkar Party DPP, Ace Hasan Syadzily, responded to the plan to revise Law Number 39 of 2008 concerning the Ministry of State. According to him, the amendment to the law is needed to accommodate the vision and mission of the elected president, Prabowo Subianto. Ace assessed that the revision of the law had to adjust the needs and dynamics that occurred in the government. Because according to him, the challenges faced by the government from period to period could be different. "Therefore, the flexibility of the law in accommodating the vision and mission of the elected president must of course be widely opened," said Ace at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Tuesday, May 14. Ace said Indonesia would face various challenges for economic recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, seeing the current geopolitical conditions of the world, the government must also try to get through the formation of a new ministry. "Our concern for climate crises, climate change, and environmental issues must certainly be a special concern. This must of course be accommodated in the Law on Ministries so that the ministry can indeed accommodate, not just political aspects," explained Ace. For information, the Legislation Body (Baleg) of the DPR will start discussing the revision of the State Ministry Law today. This discussion follows the issue of the addition of ministries in the Prabowo-Gibran government, from 34 to 40. The rules for adding ministries are contained in Law Number 39 of 2008 concerning the Ministry of State.

Therefore, Baleg will first listen to the study of the draft experts from his side to continue the amendments to the Ministry Law.
