resident Joko “Jokowi” Widodo has called on all offices under both central and regional governments to be prepared for the implementation of the online single submission (OSS) system, which is aimed at slashing red tape in business licensing procedures.
The President stressed the importance of thorough preparation, including the implementation of user-friendly technology and professional human resources.
“Because it is a digital-based reform, we have to ensure that the system will work well and is friendly to users,” Jokowi said at the Bogor Palace in West Java on Wednesday when chairing an OSS coordination meeting as reported by tribunnews.com.
Jokowi expressed hope that the new system would drastically cut red tape through bureaucratic integration.
“This is also important to ensure human resources involved in the new system are used efficiently. We have to change the old bureaucratic atmosphere so that it is more responsive and provides a faster service [to businesspeople],” he said as quoted by tribunnews.com.
The President also repeated his call for further deregulation in business licensing procedures, from the ministerial level to the regional administrations.
Coordinating Economic Minister Darmin Nasution previously said he had promised the President that the OSS system would be implemented later this month, after its initial launch in March was delayed.
President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo has issued Presidential Regulation No. 91/2017 as the legal basis for the implementation of the OSS system. (bbn)
