Jokowi Must Work Hard to Improve Job Creation Law: Legal Expert

Yusril assessed that MK's decision would have a broad impact on the Jokowi administration, whose term of office is approximately three years until 2024.

"The super-fast policies that President Jokowi's administration wants to implement are largely based on the Job Creation Law. Well, without immediate improvement, the new policies to be taken by the President will automatically stop," he said.

"This has the potential to paralyze the government, which actually wants to act quickly to restore the economy that was disrupted by the pandemic."

Yusril assessed that the government could take two ways to overcome the existing problems.

First, it should strengthen the Ministry of Law and Human Rights and make it the leader in revising the Job Creation Law.

Second, it should immediately establish a ministry of national legislation in charge of organizing, synchronizing, and tidying up all laws and regulations.

"This new ministry has actually been agreed by the government and the House at the end of Jokowi's first term," he revealed.

"However, until now, it has not been implemented, perhaps because it collides with the limitation on the number of ministries regulated by the State Ministry Law."
