Meanwhile, the Draft Regional Regulation on the Utilization of River Channels and Inland Waters was also withdrawn from the 2025 Propemperda because it still requires further study regarding the management of river channels and inland waters.
“So the 2025 South Sumatra Propemperda consists of 8 draft regional regulations with details of two draft regional regulations initiated by the South Sumatra DPRD and six draft regional regulations from the executive,” he said.
With details of the two draft regional regulations initiated by the South Sumatra DPRD that were approved, namely the Draft Regional Regulation on the Regulation of Distribution and Allocation of Irrigation Water, the Draft Regional Regulation on Protection and Social Welfare of the Elderly.

While two Draft Regional Regulations, namely the Draft Regional Regulation on the change of legal entity of PT Sriwijaya Mandiri Sumsel (SMS) to PT Sriwijaya Mandiri Sumsel (Perseroda) have not been approved because a more in-depth review is still needed between the South Sumatra Provincial Government, in this case the Bureau of Economics, involving related parties regarding all forms of legal problems currently faced by PT Sriwijaya Mandiri Sumsel (PT SMS).
Then the Draft Regional Regulation on the Regulation of Water Transportation across bridges in the South Sumatra Province initiated by the South Sumatra Transportation Agency was approved to be withdrawn and not included in the 2025 Propemda, on the grounds that further study is still needed.
Meanwhile, two draft regional regulations initiated by the South Sumatra DPRD, namely the Draft Regional Regulation on the Preservation of Marga Cultural Values and the Draft Regional Regulation on the Utilization of River and/or Water Channels still need further study and adjustments to higher laws and regulations.
“So that the 2025 regional regulation formation program contains 8 draft regional regulations consisting of two draft regional regulations proposed by the South Sumatra DPRD and six draft regional regulations proposed by the South Sumatra Provincial Government,” he said.
According to this Golkar Party politician, based on the provisions of Article 37 paragraph 2 of Law No. 12 of 2011 concerning the Formation of Legislation and its amendments, the South Sumatra provincial legislative program must be determined by a decision of the Provincial DPRD. (ojn/ril)
