Representatives from the government were also present, including Minister of Law (Menkum) Supratman Andi Agtas, Deputy Minister for State Secretariat (Wamensesneg) Bambang Eko Suhariyanto, and Deputy Minister of Manpower (Wamenaker) Afriansyah Noor.

Before the decision was taken, all factions first expressed their respective views.

Then, in the mini faction views, all factions stated their agreement with the RUU PPRT.

On that occasion, Dasco also gave the opportunity to the government representatives to express their views, represented by Menkum Supratman.

Afterwards, Dasco proceeded with the decision-making. He asked all meeting participants whether the RUU PPRT could be brought to the next level in the plenary session.

“Next, we request the meeting’s approval on whether the results of the discussion on the Domestic Workers Protection Bill can be processed further in accordance with the legislative process, if approved?” Dasco asked.

“Agreed,” responded the Baleg members and the attending government representatives.

Thus, the RUU PPRT will be brought to the plenary session scheduled for Tuesday, 21 April 2026 tomorrow.

“The RUU PPRT will be scheduled in the nearest plenary session, insha’Allah tomorrow,” Dasco said.
