“If discontent lingers on over the omnibus law on job creation, go ahead and propose a judicial review through the Constitutional Court,” President Jokowi noted in a statement in connection with the law from the Bogor Presidential Palace, Friday.
The head of state highlighted that the constitutional system was outlined in this way, and any party that is discontent and rejects the omnibus law should take the route of proposing a judicial review to the Constitutional Court.
“Hence, those still not satisfied and reject (the law) can press ahead and approach the Constitutional Court,” he noted.
