Jakarta DPRD's Bapemperda is about to open a plenary meeting related with ratification of Draft Bylaw on Implementation of Library and Archives into Bylaw on Wednesday (9/27).

Library and Archives Dept. can be creative from the legal protection that we prepare

Jakarta DPRD's Bapemperda Vice Chairperson, Merry Hotma said, after being ratified into Bylaw, there would be a legal protection for Jakarta Provincial Government in running any activity about library and archives.

"Library and Archives Dept. can be creative from the legal protection that we prepare. Regardless of orders from bylaw, they must do it and we just oversee its implementation," she stated, Monday (9/25).

Her party is currently reviewing some evaluations given by Home Ministry against Draft Bylaw on Library and Archives.

"From the Home Ministry's evaluation, there are several points of refinement of the legal foundations in this draft bylaw." There are some articles that are redundant. So it is set in the front chapter, but reset in the back chapter," she told.

In the meantime, Jakarta Library and Archives Dept. Head, Wahyu Hariyadi uttered, after it is ratified, his party will soon conduct guidance towards library.

"Likewise with archives, how is the management of archives in the local government, particularly archives in SKPD, we will set after there is bylaw," he closed.
