JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD admitted that he received a mandate from President Jokowi to find a formula to reform the judicial law. The request for the aftermath of the Supreme Court Judge, Sudrajat Dimyati, was caught in the KPK's arrest operation (OTT).

"The president asked me as Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs to look for reform formulas in the field of judicial law, in accordance with the available constitutional and legal instruments," Mahfud said in his Instagram account, @mohmahfudmd, Tuesday, September 27. According to the former Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court (MK), President Jokowi was disappointed because efforts to eradicate corruption that was quite successful in the executive environment were often to king the judiciary with the prosecutor's shield that was independent and independent. "The president is very concerned about the OTT incident by the KPK involving the Supreme Court judge Sudrajat Dimyati. The government has tried to break through various blockades within the government to eradicate the legal mafia, but often dominates in court," he said. He explained that the government had acted decisively, including amplifying its own body parts such as taking action against the perpetrators of the Jiwasraya Insurance, Asabri, Garuda, Ministry of Defense Satellite, Ministries, and others. "The Attorney General's Office has worked hard and succeeded in showing its positive performance. The KPK is also working well. But often good businesses are kinging at the Supreme Court (MA)," said Mahfud.

According to him, there are corruptors who are released, there are corruptors whose sentences are based on large discounts. "We cannot enter the Supreme Court because there are different rooms, we are temporarily executives," he added. "They always argue that the judge is independent and cannot be interfered with. Eh, suddenly a case emerged by the attorney general of Sudrajat Dimyati with the mode of confiscation of cooperative assets through persecution. This is a crazy legal industry that I have often warned about on various occasions," he said. Therefore, Mahfud admitted that he would immediately coordinate to formulate reform formulas that would allow the constitution and Indonesian law. "The president is very serious about this," he said.
