9 Constitutional Court Judges Proven To Violate Code Of Ethics, Sanctions For Lisan Reprimand Collectively

MKMK (Diah Ayu) Session

The Honorary Council of the Constitutional Court (MKMK) has decided that nine constitus judges have been proven to have violated the code of ethics regarding the Constitutional Court's (MK) decision Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023 which allows regional heads not yet 40 years old to run as presidential and vice presidential candidates. The Constitutional Court's decision was read out directly by MKMK Chairman Jimly Asshiddiqie at the Constitutional Court, Tuesday, November 7. "To declare one, the judges reported jointly proven to have violated the code of ethics and behavior of the constitutional judges... To the judges reported, it was decided to impose collective verbal warnings on the judges reported," said Jimly. In his ruling, Jimly also considered several points so that a collective verbal warning was imposed. One of them is that constitutional judges must not allow the practice of mutual influence between judges in determining attitudes, examining hearings and deciding a case. "Secondly, constitutional judges must not allow the practice of violating the code of ethics and behavior of constitutional judges without seriousness to remind each other between judges, including the leadership because of their good work culture so that the principle of equality between judges is neglected and violation practices become common," explained Jimmly.
