JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo was asked to punish his ministers for allowing foreign workers (TKA) to enter Indonesia during the implementation of Emergency PPKM.

Gerindra politician Arief Poyuono said that President Jokowi must be fair as head of state at a time when the public is carrying out restrictions or emergency PPKM.

"There must be a minister who is responsible for the entry of foreign workers who are carrying the spread of the delta variant of the corona virus which is very massive at this time," said Arief Poyuono to reporters, Friday, July 9.

According to the general chairman of the United State-Owned Enterprises Trade Union Federation, foreign workers entering Indonesia are suspected to be the epicenter of the spread of the delta variant of the COVID-19 virus. From the information, Arief Poyuono. said the most significant migrant workers were from China, India, Saudi Arabia, or the Middle East.

He believes that the foreign workers can enter Indonesia because they get certain facilities. In fact, the procedure is not strict when entering Indonesia. He suspects that investment and money are the causes of the easy entry of thousands of foreign workers.

"If President Jokowi does not hold these ministers accountable, this shows that his government does not have good control over the ministers. Where his policies have caused the massive entry of the virus," said Arief Poyuono.

But unfortunately, Arief Poyuono did not want to mention the name of the minister who should be responsible for the entry of foreign workers. But the characteristics, he said, are always under the pretext of investing.

"It's like there are ministers who always justify the pretext of investment and the inability of Indonesian workers to work in the mining sector," said Arief.
