Commission III of the DPR asks the candidate judge to be wary of WhatsApp messages of fraud

Member of Commission III of the House of Representatives, M. Nasir Djamil, regretted the circulation of a WhatsApp message from an unknown person in the name of the leadership of Commission III of the House of Representatives. The message contains a request for participation funds related to the nomination process for supreme judges and ad hoc judges at the Supreme Court.

Nasir emphasized that the content of the message was completely untrue and was a real form of fraud. He assessed that the use of the name of the head of Commission III to ask for funds was a manipulative act that had the potential to tarnish the reputation of the institution and lead to the opinion of the suitability and eligibility test process in the DPR full of transactions.

"This is clearly not from the leadership of Commission III. Messages like that are fraud and must be wary of," he told reporters, Thursday, August 13.

Nasir asked the prospective chief justices and ad hoc judges who received similar messages not to ignore it and immediately report the number to the police. According to him, a quick step is needed so that the practice of fraud that takes advantage of the momentum of the selection of judges does not develop further.

He added that Commission III of the DPR is committed to maintaining the integrity of the selection process for the chief justice and ad hoc judges, as well as ensuring that all stages are transparent and free from harmful practices.

"The process in Commission III is always carried out openly and accountable. Efforts like this actually want to undermine public confidence," said Nasir.

Nasir hopes the public will remain vigilant and not easily believe in personal messages in the name of state officials.

"Especially when accompanied by a request for funds or certain rewards," he concluded.
