Jusuf Kalla Expects All State Institutions To Be Able To Take Care Of Muruah

PADANG - 10th and 12th Vice Presidents of the Republic of Indonesia Muhammad Jusuf Kalla hopes that the cases that are currently happening within the Constitutional Court and the Corruption Eradication Commission will be a lesson for other state institutions to be able to maintain the upper house of institutions.

"We hope that all state institutions can maintain their muruah, lest these important institutions be tarnished," he said in Padang Panjang City, West Sumatra, Saturday, November 4.

On that occasion, JK, as he is familiarly called, admitted that he was sad to see the condition of the two law enforcement agencies in the country which were shrouded in problems.

In fact, he continued, these institutions were built with extraordinary enthusiasm. Moreover, the Constitutional Court as the last door in maintaining the constitution should be able to maintain public trust.

"This institution was built with an extraordinary intention to maintain the constitution and to keep any misappropriation or corruption but is now tarnished," he said.

To maintain public confidence in law enforcement and enforcement of the constitution according to its provisions, he said, there must be strict and clear sanctions against the parties involved.

"It must be given sanctions to those who act because it will damage the country's path in the future," he advised.

For information, the Honorary Council of the Constitutional Court (MKMK) is currently still in the process of alleged violations of the code of ethics by nine judges regarding Case Decision Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023 regarding the age limit for presidential/vice presidential candidates at least 40 years or once/currently occupying positions elected through general elections, including regional head elections.
