JAKARTA - Political Communication Expert Silvanus Alvin, appreciates the steps taken by Commission III of the DPR which uploaded a draft Law (RUU) on the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) to the official website of the DPR RI, so that it can be accessed and monitored by the public. He considers this as an effort by the DPR to be more transparent in the legislative process or the making of laws.
"I saw what Pak Habiburokhman (Chairman of Commission III of the DPR, ed) did not just react when there was attention, but there was indeed enthusiasm to guard the openness of this legislative process," said Alvin, Saturday, July 19.
According to Alvin, the steps taken by Commission III of the DPR in using social media to voice technical issues related to the Criminal Procedure Code are increasingly showing a commitment that members of the DPR maintain transparency in every discussion of the law.
"By utilizing social media to voice technical issues, he not only fulfills public expectations of transparency, but also builds an image as a pro-active representative of the people," said Alvin.
Alvin also saw that the transparency of the DPR regarding the Criminal Procedure Code Bill brought the public closer to discussing the ongoing revision of the Criminal Procedure Code in Commission III.
"On the other hand, he is also increasingly introducing to the public that there is a discussion of the Criminal Procedure Code Bill currently in Commission III. Apart from social media, this incident is also getting higher in the reach issue because it is reported by the mainstream press media," said Alvin.
Alvin hopes that Commission III of the DPR will continue to maintain transparency in the process of discussing the Criminal Procedure Code Bill. Because, according to him, transparency is the main thing that the people need the most in discussing the bill in the DPR.
He added, if the DPR is consistent, the public will no longer see the legislative process as a dark space, but as a more participatory space.
In order to increase the effectiveness of transparency, Alvin also suggested that the DPR provide document access guidelines that are easier for the general public to understand.
"The DPR may provide a special channel for reporting on the DPR website or there is a team that is active on social media, for example the DPR's IG, so when there is a DM report, it can be responded to in real-time. The main principle is that changing the law needs openness and is far from controversial so that it is not noisy," concluded Alvin.
