Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan claimed that his party together with the central government had revised the criteria for companies that were included in essential and critical sectors.
According to Anies, the update of the criteria was carried out after his party coordinated with the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan.
“We just finished holding a coordination meeting (Rakor) led by the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment, there was an update on the criteria for essential and critical sectors,” said Anies in Lampiri, Kalimalang, East Jakarta, Wednesday (8/7).
Anies said that the updated criteria for these sectors will be announced in the near future in more detail.
“Because of this there are several update related to essential and critical sectors. It will be announced later, then residents can match it,” he said.
Thus, Anies asked the public and company management to match company data that is included in the essential sector criteria or not. If they are not included in the criteria, Anies appealed to them to follow the existing provisions.
During Emergency PPKM, offices or companies working in essential or critical sectors can operate with a capacity limit of 50 percent. Meanwhile, for sectors outside it is required to apply the work from home rule or work from home 100 percent.
“If you don’t come in, don’t force the employees to work. And when you enter, there are provisions, which ones are allowed to be 100 percent, some even required a maximum of 10 percent,” Anies explained.
“So even though it’s essential, even though it’s critical it doesn’t mean it’s 100 percent. But some of them are only allowed to be a maximum of 10 percent,” he added.
Anies had previously carried out unannounced inspections of a number of companies in Jakarta, including Ray White and Equity Life. According to Anies, the two companies violated the PPKM rules because they were found to still require the majority of workers to work in offices. However, Equity Life denied Anies.
