oordinating Economic Minister Darmin Nasution admitted on Friday that the government had not been able to implement the online single submission (OSS) yet, although initially he said it could have been implemented since late last month.
He said a number of ministries had not completed deregulating license procedures.
“To the President, I promised [to complete the OSS system] in the middle of April but it will be ready for the public by late April,” said Darmin at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta as quoted by kontan.co.id.
President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo has issued Presidential Regulation No. 91/2017 as the legal basis for the implementation of the OSS system in trying to slash red tape and offer a faster process for issuing business permits.
OSS system preparation head Muwasiq M Noor said the main issues related to legal considerations because each government body has different regulatory, procedural and technical aspects.
Darmin previously said the government planned to draft an omnibus bill -- a single bill aimed at amending several laws -- to speed up the business licensing process. He said the omnibus bill was needed to amend at least 11 laws related to the issuing of licenses. (bbn)
