PPP ASKS GOVT TO REVISE LAW ON STATE MINISTRIES
Jakarta, Dec 17 (ANTARA) - The United Development Party (PPP) faction in the House of Representatives (DPR) has asked the government to immediately revise Law No.39/2008 on State Ministries because it ignored the important role of cooperatives and small-scale businesses as envisioned in the 1945 Constitution.
"The PPP faction at the DPR has sent a letter to Law and Human Rights Minister Andi Mattalata and Minister/State Secretary Hatta Rajasa on Tuesday, December 16, 2008 and asked them to immediately revise Law No.39/2008," the faction's chairman, Lukman Hakim Syaifuddin, said at the legislative building here on Wednesday.
The pressure on the government to revise the law was based on a note put forward by PPP faction and Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) faction in a House plenary session to approve the law.
In the House plenary session at its 2008/2009 firs sitting, came two interruptions from Aria Bima of PDI-P faction and from Lukman Hakim Syaifuddin of PPP faction.
Aria Bima and Lukan Hakim Syaifudding proposed that government management in relation with cooperative and small and medium scale business (UKM) be included into article 5 item 2 in the Law on State Ministry.
They said UKM was part of government's affairs whose scope was mentioned in the 1945 Constitution, and therefore it was considered important because cooperative and UKM were parts of government business which were included in article 33, sections 1 and 4, of the 1945 Constitution.
Article 33 section 1 of the 1945 Constitution said, "The economy shall be arranged as joint business family basis," and item 4 said, "National economy is conducted on the basis economic democracy with common principles, efficiency, justice, independence by maintaining development balance and national economic unity."
Lukman Hakim said that in the House plenary session there was no House member who objected to the proposal from the PPP and PDI-P factions.
