English term

dragged their feet on the full set of measures

English to Indonesian Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
On the bureaucratic front, many of the problems can be traced to the passage of the 2001 Petroleum Law
(Law 22/2001), which as written, stripped Pertamina of its dominant position and created two new regulatory
bodies: BP MIGAS (responsible for regulating the upstream and managing the oil and gas contractors) and
BHP MIGAS (responsible for managing the downstream). Both Pertamina and its supporters in parliament have
dragged their feet on the full set of measures that were required to implement the legislation. Other problems
resulted from the decision to put the regulatory agencies under the mandate of the President rather than the
Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources

drag your feet (idioms) :
work too slow, prevent progress

Baik Pertamina dan para pendukungnya di DPR bekerja amat lamban dalam menentukan ketetapan menyeluruh untuk menetapkan peraturan perundang-undangan yang diperlukan.

Dalam konteks politik seperti ini bahasa MENGHAMBAT yang terlalu direct mungkin agak dicegah dalam bahasa pers walau pun bisa diterjemahkan:

Baik Pertamina dan para pendukungnya di DPR menghambat penentuan ketetapan menyeluruh untuk menetapkan peraturan perundang-undangan yang diperlukan.
