Legislative Council Of The House Of Representatives (DPR) Kaji Draft Revision Of The Police Law, Arranges Extension Of Retirement Period

JAKARTA - The Legislative Body of the House of Representatives (Baleg DPR) has opened its voice about the DPR's plan to revise Law Number 2 of 2002 concerning the Indonesian National Police (UU Polri). Currently, the draft Polri Bill is still under the study of Baleg Experts. Members of the DPR Baleg from the PAN faction, Guspardi Gaus explained, the revision of the Polri Law refers to two things. Namely, the decision of the Constitutional Court (MK) and the ratification of the ASN Law. "First the Constitutional Court decision. Second, in order to adjust to the law that has just been passed by the DPR, the authority is in Commission II concerning ASN. So why did Baleg do this because of these two things," Guspardi told reporters, Saturday, May 18. Guspardi explained, formally there has never been a discussion of points that will be revised. Including the matter of the retirement limit of Polri members. "It's just the father of talks in Baleg, especially with the leadership, we will discuss the bill on the Police. Then you ask what the substance of the revision is in terms of what? The first is the retirement period of course we will evaluate it, we will also conduct a study. It is also possible that the retirement period is," said the member of Commission II of the DPR.

"The substance is two, first extending retirement. Second, when there is a police force that he moves into functional positions, everywhere in KL, ASN, if his rank is 4A and above, his retirement can be extended if he is functional or educated to 65 years. If he is echelon 1, his pension function is not 60 years old," he continued.

The legislator for the West Sumatra electoral district said the revision of the Police Law would be discussed after the study by TA Baleg was completed. The DPR Baleg, he said, would immediately schedule a meeting after the draft Polri Bill arrived at the leadership table.

"The Expert Team is still conducting a study, and it is still being discussed. If it is finished, of course it will be submitted to Baleg's leadership, and Baleg's leadership will definitely convey to Baleg members for discussion," said Guspardi.

"What are the discussions? Is it true that it relates to the retirement period and extending the functional term of office. It could also be other rights if it is considered important by other factions in the DPR," he concluded.
