JAKARTA - The case of PT Asuransi Jiwasraya's policy failure to pay has not only attracted the attention of the public and law enforcers because it caused significant losses. However, it is also a concern of the DPR. This is because members of the DPR do have the right to take part in finding out the causes of an issue that is of public concern from executive policy.

Currently, the DPR has formed a working committee (Panja) to investigate the case of default on the state-owned company policy. The formation of Panja was carried out in three commissions, namely Commission III in charge of law, Commission VI in charge of BUMN and Commission XI in charge of finance.

However, of the nine factions in the DPR, two of them, namely Democrats and PKS, still insist on forming a special committee. Let's understand what is the difference between Panja and Pansus. Then, which one is more effective?

Panja

In the eleventh section of the DPR RI Standing Orders (Tatib) of 2014, the working committee (Panja), article 98 reads: The apparatus of the DPR apart from the leadership of the DPR can form a working committee.

Then, in Article 100 paragraph 1 it is explained, "The working committee is tasked with carrying out certain tasks within a certain period as determined by the DPR apparatus that formed it."

Meanwhile, the scope of work of the committee is described in article 100 paragraph 2. "In carrying out the tasks referred to in paragraph (1), the working committee may hold hearings and public hearings meetings."

Article 100 paragraph 3 states: The working procedure for the working committee is determined by the DPR apparatus that forms it.

Article 100 paragraph 4 explains that the panja is accountable to the DPR apparatus that formed it. Then, article 100 paragraph 5 reads: The working committee is dissolved by the DPR apparatus that forms it after the term of its assignment has ended or because its task has been declared complete.

Meanwhile, whether the performance of the committee is sufficient or needs to be improved depends on the AKD that formed it, as Article 100 paragraph 6 states: Follow-up to the work results of the working committee is determined by the DPR apparatus that formed it.

The composition of membership is in accordance with Article 99 of the DPR Standing Orders, namely: Determined by the DPR apparatus which forms it as far as possible based on a balance of the number of Members of each faction.

This means that the panja is a team formed by the commission in the relevant DPR (AKD) to investigate a case that is in the public spotlight. And only responsible to the commission that created it.

Special Committee

The special committee (Pansus) is described in article 93 of the DPR Standing Orders, namely: The special committee is formed by the DPR and is a temporary apparatus for the DPR.

The procedure for the implementation of the special committee's duties is regulated in Article 96 paragraph 1, namely: The special committee has the duty to carry out certain tasks within a certain period determined by the plenary session of the DPR.

The scope of the special committee is also explained in the DPR Standing Orders in article 97. It is stated that the scope of the special committee is broader, namely that it can conduct work meetings, work committee meetings, formulation team meetings / small teams and or synchronization team meetings.

Not only that, if it is deemed necessary to make a case brightly lit, as long as it is agreed that the special committee can make another mechanism. This provision is regulated in Article 97 paragraph 2, which reads: In conducting the meeting as referred to in paragraph (1), other mechanisms can be implemented as long as it is agreed by the chairman and members of the meeting.

Meanwhile, the number of members of the special committee has been regulated in Article 94 paragraph 2 which reads: The number of members of the special committee is determined by the plenary session of the DPR at a maximum of 30 (thirty) people.

The term of work is regulated in Article 96 Paragraph 3. "The special committee shall be dissolved by the DPR after the term of its assignment has ended or because its duties have been declared complete,"

This means that the special committee can be dissolved by a collective decision of the DPR through a plenary session. If the committee is responsible to the AKD that formed it, the special committee is responsible to all members of the DPR.

Together with the Working Committee, the formation of the special committee will be followed by the implementation of the rights of DPR members, namely implementation, questionnaires and expressing opinions. This provision is also contained in Article 164 of the DPR Standing Orders Chapter IX concerning the procedures for exercising the rights of the DPR:

(1) DPR has the right:

a. interpellation;

b. questionnaire; and

c. express an opinion.

(2) The right of interpellation as referred to in paragraph (1) letter a is the right of the DPR to request information from the Government regarding government policies which are important and strategic and have a broad impact on the life of the community, nation and state.

President.

As is well known, two factions that insisted on investigating the Jiwasraya case with the special committee, namely the Democrats and the PKS, finally proposed the formation of a special committee for questionnaires to the DPR leadership. This proposal was accepted by the Deputy Speaker of the DPR, Azis Syamsudin. A total of 104 members from the two factions have signed the proposal to form a special committee for the Jiwasraya questionnaire.

The procedure for using the right to inquiry is regulated in article 169 of the DPR Standing Orders:

(1) The right to inquiry as referred to in Article 164 paragraph (1) letter b shall be proposed by at least 25 (twenty five) Members and more than 1 (one) faction.

Unlike panja, the special committee has the power of law. Because the special committee can call the related parties forcibly. This is regulated in Article 175 of the DPR Standing Orders:

(6) In the event that the forced summons as referred to in paragraph (5) are not fulfilled without a valid reason, the person concerned may be held hostage for no longer than 15 (fifteen) Days by the authorized apparatus in accordance with the provisions of the statutory regulations.

Which is more precise?

Researcher of the Forum for the People Cares about Parliament (Formappi) Lucius Karus said that if the DPR is serious about the case that befell Jiwasraya and wants to investigate the matter to its conclusion, the choice is to form a special committee for the Jiwasraya questionnaire.

"The choice must be the special committee. Because with the special committee the work will be more effective. Panja three commissions can be combined into one special committee. They complement each other in trying to find out what the real problem is in Jiwasraya's body," said Lucius, when contacted by VOI, in Jakarta, Wednesday, February 5.

Lucius said, by forming a special committee the scope would be wider than the panja which only had one field. Moreover, recommendations from the special committee were submitted directly to the plenary meeting.

Jiwasraya (Special)

"The most important thing is that the DPRikers (conveyed) are the work of the DPR. So far the special committee has been working just like that. But the most important thing is how is the response of the DPR as an institution to show their concern for issues that are of public concern, "he said.

Instead of forming a working committee with three different fields, namely commission III (law), commission VI (BUMN) and commission IX (finance), the coordination would be better if the three working groups became one special committee for questionnaire. Lucius assessed that the special committee could accommodate the three fields and was much more effective.

"If commission III wants to know about the financial matters in Jiwasraya, he has to ask Commission XI. If he wants to know the legal basis, he asks Commission III. It's really funny how rich work is. So the special committee is more effective," he said.
