JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/Asia News Network): President Joko 'Jokow' Widodo has promised businesses that their investments will not be affected by the recent Constitutional Court ruling on the Job Creation Law, saying his administration would immediately work on a do-over of the lawmaking process.
The procedure of passing the law -- the key legislative item in the President’s ambitious yet controversial reform agenda -- was recently declared unconstitutional by the court, which also ruled that the government and the House of Representatives must start the lawmaking process again from scratch within two years.
