Acting Secretary General of the Ministry of Manpower Aris Wahyudi was sprayed by the leadership of Commission IX of the DPR RI because he did not prepare material regarding the discussion of the moratorium on Indonesian migrant workers (PMI) to Saudi Arabia in today's working meeting.

Initially, Secretary General of the Ministry of Manpower Aris Wahyudi was asked to provide an explanation regarding the opening of a moratorium on the placement of Indonesian migrant workers with Saudi Arabia in a Hearing Meeting (RDP) of the Ministry of Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers (KemenP2MI) and the Ministry of Manpower with Commission IX DPR RI at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Monday, April 28.

However, when the Acting Secretary General of the Ministry of Manpower gave a speech at the beginning of his presentation, Deputy Chairman of Commission IX of the DPR Charles Honoris cut Aris Wahyudi's statement because his party had not yet received material from the Ministry of Manpower.

"Mr. Secretary General, for a moment, is there material that was conveyed to us from the Ministry of Manpower? Because I checked with the Secretariat that no material had been submitted yet," said Deputy Chairman of Commission IX of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Charles Honoris.

Acting Secretary General of the Ministry of Manpower Aris Wahyudi then reasoned that the authority to place migrant workers had been delegated to the Ministry of P2MI. So that his party does not prepare materials and hand over full authority to the Ministry of P2MI according to the direction of the Minister of Manpower.

"Yes, because yesterday we actually prepared, then we received directions from the minister, from the 5 discussion topics presented, we have actually handed over this authority to KP2MI as stated in Presidential Decree 164 of 2004 concerning the Ministry of Manpower," said Aris.

"Therefore, the minister's message for permission from the minister of P2MI as our older brother fully supports the things that have been mandated by the president and the Presidential Decree," he continued.

Hearing the statement of the Acting Secretary General of the Ministry of Manpower, Charles then sprayed Aris Wahyudi who should provide another perspective regarding the opening of a moratorium with Saudi Arabia.

"Yes, the Ministry of Manpower should have a point of view regarding what we discussed today. So we think there should be material that you convey to us like that," said Charles Honoris.
