Jakarta – Member of the House of Representatives Commission XII, Ratna Juwita Sari, criticized the government that never issued a government regulation (PP) as a derivative of the Act 2 of 2025 regarding Minerba. He referred to the PP, should be issued no later than six months after the Minerba Act was approved by the Indonesian parliament. “The Minerba Act has been announced since March 19, 2025. That is, to this day, the government has crossed the time limit by law. It is a form of negligence that should not be left,” Ratna told reporters on Sunday. This PKB legislature assesses that the delay in issuing PP has the potential to impede the implementation of the Minerba Act as a whole. In fact, he said, the Minerba sector has a strategic position for Indonesia, not only as an economic resource, but also as an important tool for the independence of the country.

This law is born to ensure that the natural wealth is truly managed for the maximum interests of the people, not for foreign interests. Without the implementation rules, the ideals of independence and sovereignty of the country will be difficult to realize,” Ratna said. Furthermore, Ratna requested the government to complete all necessary derivative regulations immediately. He hopes that the Minerba management can work in accordance with the mandate of the law. “The government should not ignore this urgency. Minerba is not just an economic commodity, but the basis of the country’s sovereignty. With proper driving, Minerba can become a car of national independence and Indonesian stronghold of dependence on foreign parties,” he added. Ratna said that this delay was not only an administrative matter, but that it led to legal uncertainty for business actors in the mining sector and resisted the potential of government revenue. He considered the distribution of central regional authority, as well as priority for the granting of permits for cooperatives, MSMEs, MSMEs, MSMEs, and religious organizations, without technical clarity. “The 2025 Minerba Act has given a clear direction to create a fair, transparent and in favor of national interests. But without the implementation of PP, all mandates in Article 17 regarding the determination of mining business permit (Wiup) cannot be effectively performed,” Ratna said. “Investors are postponing the expansion, the local government is confused, and the local community is again victims of policy uncertainty. It is a situation that should not be left too long,” he added. The PDI-P faction in the Indonesian parliament had earlier highlighted the inertia of the government in the issuance of government regulations (PP) as a derivative rule from the Act number 2 of 2025 regarding minerals and coal mining (Minerba). Although the implementation rules are key so that the new provisions in the law can effectively execute. Member of the House of Representatives Commission XII At the same time, the PDIP faction, Yulian Gunhar, reminded that the government, on the basis of section 174 paragraph (1) of the Act No. 2/2025, no later had to issue six months of the Act PP. But so far, the rules have not yet been published. “That’s a serious question. Is the government really consistent and serious about determining mineral management or allowing legal uncertainty to dress? ‘ Gunhar said on Saturday (4/10/2025). For information, Act 2 of 2025 is the fourth amendment of the 2009 Minerba Act. One of the most important points is to offer mining management priorities to religious social organizations, bumd, MSMEs and cooperatives. In order to make this new provision, the government must set up a PP as a technical guideline. Without these derivative rules, the implementation of the law will be hampered and possibly causing legal uncertainty. (DWR/GBR)
