Regarding The Mandate Of Rais Aam PBNU For PKB Evaluation, Jazilul: Violating Rules And Ethics

Deputy Chairperson of PKB Jazilul Fawaid assessed that Rais Aam's full mandate from the Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU) Executive Board KH Miftachul Akhyar to evaluate PKB violates rules and ethics.

"The decision taken violates ethics, as well as rules. Ethics in the form of state, rules in the state as well as ethics in NU and PKB," said Jazilul at the PKB DPP, Central Jakarta, Tuesday, August 13.

According to Jazilul, PKB and PBNU are two different entities. PKB, even though it was born from the womb of NU, is a political party. Meanwhile, PBNU is an Islamic community organization (ormas).

The legal umbrella that underlies the establishment of PKB and PBNU, Jazilul emphasized, is also different. PKB stands based on Law (UU) Number 2 of 2011 concerning Political Parties.

Meanwhile, PBNU was founded based on Law Number 17 of 2013 concerning Community Organizations.

"PKB is protected by the Political Party Law and NU (regulated) the Ormas Law. It has no rights, in fact the decision violates the NU AD / ART and deviates from the fitrah of NU," said Jazilul.

"What do you want to fix? In fact, today PKB has extraordinary achievements. What I think must be addressed is the PBNU today," he continued.

Dozens of structural kiai and caretakers of Islamic boarding schools gathered at the Tebuireng Islamic Boarding School, East Java, on Monday, August 12. They asked PBNU to immediately take strategic steps in an effort to improve PKB in the future.

During the meeting, Rais Aam PBNU KH Miftachul Akhyar gave the full mandate called "Mandat Tebuireng" to the General Chairperson of PBNU Yahya Cholil Staquf to improve PKB.

"I received a direct order from Rais Aam to follow up on reports from the kiai," said Gus Yahya.

Gus Yahya admitted that he would soon formulate a number of steps to improve the PKB ahead of the party holding a congress in Bali on August 24-25, 2024.
