The Regional Information Research Center (“Pattiro”), a think-tank focusing on regional government issues, said that the draft bills related to regional government need to be harmonized, in order to prevent overlapping and inconsistency.
Maya Rostanty, researcher at Pattiro, named the draft bills that need harmonization, namely Draft Bill on Regional Government (“Pemda”), Draft Bill on Financial Relation between Central and Regional Government (“HKPD”), Draft Bill on National Civil Apparatus (“ASN”), and Draft Bill on Head of Regional Government Election.
In regards to Draft Bill on Pemda, Maya explained that the draft bill stipulates new types of distribution of authority, which are that are Central Government absolute authority, Central and Regional joint authority.
This provision is significantly different with the Law No. 32 of 2004 on Regional Government, which only stipulates Central Government absolute authority and decentralized authority.
If the new provision on the draft bill is passed, Maya said that the House must also synchronize other draft bills. For instance, the Draft Bill on HKPD, because the provision will affect the budgeting of regional government.
Maya further explained the Draft Bill on ASN, which might be overlapped with Draft Bill on Pemda, because both Darft Bills deals with civil servant management.
Draft Bills on ASN and Pemda provide the provision in selecting regional government secretary. The Draft Bills, however, stipulate different mechanism in implementing such selection.
In addressing these issues, Maya that Commission II of the House must immediately harmonize these Draft Bills. Such harmonization should also incorporate consistence provisions between the Bills and it implementation regulations.
As a response, Budiman Sudjatmiko, member of Commission II of the House, confirmed that the harmonization of the Bill is currently taking place in Legislation Office of the House (Badan Legislasi).
He further explained that Baleg will decide which provisions that needs to be incorporated to avoid overlapping among the Bills.
