JAKARTA - The Online Motorcycle Taxi Drivers Association (Ojol) of the Indonesian Guard has strongly urged the government to immediately issue the Ojol Presidential Regulation (Perpres) with a 90:10 revenue sharing scheme. This step is considered a crucial foundation to maintain the purchasing power of 7 million ojol drivers as well as strengthen the MSME ecosystem amid the threat of a global economic crisis.
The Chairman of the Indonesian Guard, Raden Igun Wicaksono, stated that legal certainty regarding the rigid distribution of results was very necessary. Through this scheme, drivers are guaranteed to receive 90% of each order, while the applicator gets the 10% part.
Massive Impact for 75 Million UMKM Ecosystems
Based on the association's internal study, the 90% revenue sharing for drivers is not just a number, but a driving force for the people's economy. If this regulation is passed, the impact is expected to be felt by:
7 Million online motorcycle taxi drivers are active throughout Indonesia. 30-50 Million driver family members. 75 Million actors in the UMKM ecosystem that depend on delivery services."The estimated 7 million drivers are currently eagerly awaiting this Presidential Decree. If the government is more in favor of investors or applicators than drivers, we are studying a significant economic decline at the grassroots level," said Igun Wicaksono in Jakarta.
Main Points of Ojol Presidential Decree
Apart from the distribution of the results, the Indonesian National Police emphasized several crucial points that must be included in the draft Presidential Regulation:
Certainty of Fair Tariffs: The use of the right kilometer distance algorithm for inter-tariffs. Pick-up & Wait Tariff: There is a standard rule for calculating pick-up costs and waiting time so that driver operations are more fair. Social Protection: Health and employment guarantees that must be provided by the government and the application company. Price Stability: Ask the government to hold off on increasing service rates for a while so that it does not burden the purchasing power of the wider community in the midst of a global conflict.Expectations for the Prabowo Presidential Government
The Indonesian National Guard has high hopes that President Prabowo Subianto will take policies that are pro-people. The bias on the 90:10 revenue-sharing is considered a defense fortress for the national economy in the face of global crisis pressures.
"Garda is ready to collaborate to comprehensively study with the government, investors, and applicators to accelerate the implementation of this Presidential Decree," added Igun.
The Association is committed to continue to fight for the rights of workers in the gig economy sector so that it remains a strong pillar in the supply chain of the national economy which is increasingly rigid and resilient.
