Ministry Of Home Affairs Simplifies Business Licensing Process And Manages Natural Resources In Regions

The Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) continues to strive to simplify the business licensing process in the regions, including in the utilization of natural resources (SDA). 

Secretary General (Sekjen) of the Ministry of Home Affairs Tomsi Tohir in a statement in Jakarta, Wednesday, said that one of the steps taken in relation to this is to prepare a timeline for accelerating licensing that needs to be implemented by regional governments (pemda). 

He said that the slow business licensing process is often a problem in regional development. 

"Then create coordination for the implementation of [services] in the regions and at the center," he said when receiving an audience with participants of the XXV National Leadership Strengthening Education (P3N) 2025 Lemhannas RI in the Leadership Meeting Room, Building A, 1st Floor, Ministry of Home Affairs Head Office, Jakarta, Tuesday (10/6). 

The Ministry of Home Affairs is also preparing standard operating procedures (SOP) for licensing services so that they are fast, cheap, and transparent. 

In addition, also pay attention to public reports related to licensing services and encourage local governments to optimize the function of public service malls (MPP) in providing business licensing services. 

He mentioned a number of regions that were considered successful in providing services through MPP, including in the licensing aspect. 

"This public service mall was created so that licensing (is served) under one roof. We continue to strive, we ensure, we even compete (MPP performance)," he said. 

With the system that has been built, he hopes that local governments will no longer be slow in processing licensing. 

He also encouraged various ministries and related institutions that handle licensing to support these acceleration efforts. 

"Because the requirements for this license are not only determined by the region, but (also) by the (related) ministry," he said. 

He emphasized the importance of technological support in the licensing process. Don't let services that are claimed to be able to be done online not run optimally. 

"Through online, but the online process is always going round and round, in the end you have to come too," he said. 

The meeting was attended by, among others, the head of the participant group, Simon Saimima, along with members of the P3N XXV Lemhannas RI group.
