TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) today talked about the importance of government transparency in permit issuance including on the one-door service.

Jokowi said that the process of issuance of investment license at the One-Stop Integrated Service (PTSP) can be monitored in details by the central government. Therefore, he expects the PTSP or Single Submission Service to be operational next year.

“I expect that in February we already have a Single Submission Service building,” President Joko Widodo said today at the Bidakara Hotel in Jakarta. “The licensing process can be traced, which ones are moving quickly and which ones are slow.”

The Single Submission Service is being developed from the PTSP. Both are established to process the issuance of investment license but the services of central and regional PTSPs are not yet integrated. As a result, permit applications at the PTSP is often become long and complex.

The Single Submission Service is expected to help solve the issue. With big data, licensing process at central and regional governments will be integrated. The investor registry will also be simplified to prevent repeated registration process.

President Jokowi went on to say that the integrated system must be expedited since more and more regions establish the PTSP. As of August, there are at least 531 PTSPs in regions across Indonesia.
