JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – The coordinating minister for Maritime Affairs and Investments, Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, admitted that one of the authors of the Employment Creation Law was himself.

The policy, which the government believes can simplify the overlapping rules, is deliberately done to make existing regulations more efficient.

“This is honest, my friends, I was the one who started the Cipta Kerja bus law. When he was the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs, “Luhut said in the webinar Outlook 2021: the year of opportunities, Wednesday (10/21/2020), as reported by Kontan.co.id.

Luhut is known to have held the position of Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs from mid-August 2015 to July 2016, having previously replaced the position of Tedjo Edhy Purdijatno.

According to Luhut, the discussion about the bus law began when the government saw the chaos in its regulations.

“I saw how chaotic the laws were, our dozens of regulations, overlapping or intertwined with each other. So we can’t run smoothly, “he said, quoted in Tribunnews.com.

The impact, he said, would be increased corruption practices. Apart from that, inefficiencies also happen everywhere due to chaotic rules.

“So at that time I brought together Mr. Mahfud (MD), also Mr. Jimmly Asshiddiqie, Mr. Seno Adji, Mr. Sofyan Djalil, and from my office was Mr. Lambok. We are discussing how to do it because if the Law is reviewed one by one, we do not know how long it will be fulfilled, “he said.

At the time, he added, Sofyan, who had studied in the United States, explained the idea of ​​the omnibus law to simplify the rules. The aim is to harmonize the existing rules so that they are not linked to each other.

“Well then, because of the hustle and bustle here and there, it hasn’t happened. The president didn’t discuss it again until the end of last year and that’s the fruit now. So it’s a long process, not a sudden process,” he said.
