Deputy Speaker of\nthe Indonesian House of Representatives, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, described\nthis product from the DPR\u2019s Legislation Body (Baleg) as a gift for\nworkers to commemorate May Day and Kartini Day, both observed\ntomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA May Day gift, Kartini Day gift.

Tomorrow in the plenary session, Insyaallah,\u201d said\nDasco after the RUU PPRT plenary meeting at the Parliament Complex in\nSenayan, Jakarta, on Monday night (20\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Dasco explained the reasons for the rapid discussion of the RUU PPRT.\nHe emphasised that the RUU PPRT has been a DPR commitment for 22\nyears.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the question earlier was why? We were given homework by the\npublic to complete several laws that we have also promised to the\npeople. Today we are completing the Domestic Workers Bill that has been\npending for 22 years, we are finalising it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>This Gerindra DPP Daily Chairman stated that there are still several\nbills that must be completed by the DPR. One of them is the Indigenous\nPeoples Law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd there are still several laws like the Indigenous Peoples Law\nwhich has also been pending for 20 years, and we with Baleg colleagues\nand the government will also complete it,\u201d said Dasco.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd there is also the Witness and Victim Protection Law, the Labour\nLaw which we have also started discussing, and the Asset Forfeiture Law.\nSo Insyaallah this year, we might complete several that have indeed\nbecome our homework,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Dasco mentioned that there is a one-year time limit related to the\nimplementation of the RUU PPRT. Oversight of the substance of the RUU\nPPRT will be strengthened.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEarlier we all agreed that we are given one year for its\nimplementation to ensure it is done properly. And regarding oversight\nand others, the DPR and government have certainly agreed to monitor the\nrunning of this law. And of course, there are some that the government\nmight add later,\u201d he added.<\/p>",
