TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo expressed his utmost appreciation for the House of Representatives (DPR) spirit to synergize and collaborate with the government. This was mentioned after the DPR passed the Law on the Non-Tax State-Income (UU PNBP) back in 2018.
“The attempts by the DPR to improve the quality of its Laws must be backed.
