JAKARTA - Commission III of the DPR together with the Attorney General's Office continues to investigate the case of PT Asuransi Jiwasraya's policy default which caused losses to state finances of around 13.7 trillion. The DPR also agreed to form a Jiwasraya working committee (Panja).

Deputy Chairman of Commission III Desmond J. Mahesa as chairman of the meeting said that a working committee was formed to oversee law enforcement in the Jiwasraya case.

"The DPR RI will hold a closed meeting with the Attorney General to ask for a more in-depth explanation of the handling of the Jiwasraya case and continue by forming a committee to supervise the Jiwasraya law enforcement," said Desmond, in a meeting with the Attorney General's Office, at the DPR Building, Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Monday. , January 20.

"Can you agree with the members?" asked Desmond, to which the members and the Attorney General ST Burhanuddin agreed.

After the meeting, Desmond said, the closed meeting continued from today's meeting had not been discussed. This is because Commission III wants to form Panja Jiwasraya first.

"There is no plan yet. We form a committee first, we sort it out. We have a member meeting first and then determine when the closed meeting will be. We will first interpret what is being questioned in the process, which is not finished today. It must be explained in a closed meeting," he said.

Desmond explained that there had not been any discussions leading to the formation of a special committee (special committee) for the PT Asuransi Jiwasraya policy default case. Currently, the Democrat Faction has just submitted this proposal.

According to Desmond, there is no other reason why there is no discourse on the formation of a special committee because the basic substance of the special committee is not yet clear. Moreover, Commission III is currently conducting detailed studies related to its basic substance.

"Why? There are a number of matters where the special committee is going, where this committee will go. In today's basic principle with the prosecutor, the point is whether the customers are paid. How do you pay? Will the government compensate all of them or will the attorney general do this? confiscation of the perpetrator's assets, "he said.

Then, continued Desmond, if the payment of customer money is made by confiscating the assets of the perpetrator, then it must be calculated whether the assets are in balance with the amount of losses generated from this default case.

"How many are injured, how many assets are lost today? In order for the state not to be harmed, then there will be law enforcement. In this context we need panja to help together with the AGO in thinking that customers are not harmed, the state is not harmed," he explained.

Another reason for the formation of the panja, said Desmond, was to prevent it from appearing as if the AGO had localized something that would eventually become a public question. "Because there is an assumption that the prosecutor's office is localizing it. Now with this monitoring committee we will question it," he said.
