RUU Sumber Daya Air Masuk ke Baleg DPR

Monday, February 19, 2018








Pada tanggal 13 Februari 2018 yang lalu dalam sebuah acara diskusi di DPR, Ketua Komisi V DPR-RI Bapak Fary Djemi Francis resmi menandatangani surat kepada Badan Legislatif DPR RI untuk selanjutnya membahas Draft Rancangan Undang-Undang Sumber Daya Air (RUU-SDA).  

Pada kesempatan tersebut CRPG memberikan 6 (enam) poin masukan awal atas draft RUU SDA bulan Juli. Masukan tersebut adalah sebagai berikut:

  1. Hak atas air dalam RUU SDA belum menjamin air dalam konteks SPAM (Sistem Penyediaan Air Minum)
  2. Definisi Usaha dan Pengusahaan masih kabur dan dapat mengancam industri kecil
  3. AMDK digolongkan kedalam SPAM (dan hal ini tidak sesuai dengan Hak Atas Air)
  4. BUMN/BUMD belum tentu menjamin “dikuasai oleh negara dan dipergunakan sebesar-besarnya demi kemakmuran rakyat”
  5. Alokasi Air: Kebutuhan Untuk Ternak Rakyat Lebih Prioritas Daripada Untuk Orang
  6. Penyediaan Air Berbasis Masyarakat Terancam
Dalam diskusi terungkap bahwa untuk usulan nomor 1 dan 5 sudah diperbaiki dalam draft RUU SDA versi Januari. Namun demikian, CRPG belum mampu memberikan analisis lebih lanjut karena belum menerima draftnya.

CRPG akan terus mengawal proses pembuatan RUU SDA.

The end of the public comment period will mark the end of my term as IRM Researcher.

It has been a great pleasure to work alongside the OGP, civil societies and the Government of Indonesia. I thank you all for your support and assistance!
