A list of representatives of the 10 factions that submitted their written responses on the proposal to revise two laws is displayed on a screen during the House of Representatives (DPR) plenary meeting on Thursday (5/9/2019) at the Senayan legislative complex in Jakarta. The House announced that it had obtained unanimous approval from all factions and lawmakers for the proposal to revise two laws – Law No. 2/2018 on the People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR), DPR, Regional Representatives Council (DPD) and Regional Legislative Councils (DPRD), or the MD3 Law, and Law No. 30/2002 on the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

JAKARTA, KOMPASFollowing the smooth process to approve a proposed revision of Law No. 30/2002 on the KPK at the House of Representatives (DPR) plenary meeting on Thursday (5/9/2019), the hopes of the public for stopping a revision that could weaken the KPK are now in the hands of President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo. The President was asked not to send a presidential letter to the DPR for the deliberation of changes to the KPK Law.

At its plenary meeting, the DPR unanimously approved a revision of the KPK Law to make it a DPR initiative bill. The decision was made within just five minutes. There was no interruption or rejection from any DPR member. Opinions of each faction, that would normally be read out, were this time only submitted to the DPR leadership in writing.
