JAKARTA - Commission III of the DPR RI approved three candidates for Supreme Court justices (MA) in 2022/2023 in a closed plenary meeting at the parliament complex, Jakarta.
"There are three that we chose. Those are Mr. Lucas (Lucas Prakoso), Lulik (Lulik Tri Cahyaningrum), and religious judge Imron (Imron Rosyadi)," said Chairman of Commission III of the DPR Bambang Wuryanto after chairing the plenary meeting quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, March 28.
Bambang Wuryanto said that the approval of the three candidates for Supreme Court justices was based on the views of the factions sitting on Commission III of the DPR.
"Earlier, all the views of the factions at that time, then there were lobbying deliberations. So, finally we found the line. There were other suggestions, there were. However, it then narrowed the three names," he said.
He said that no one (HAM) human rights ad hoc judges obtained approval from Commission III of the DPR based on the results of the fit and proper test.
"There is no (approved) that," said Bambang Pacul, Bambang Wuryanto's nickname.
Even though it bore fruit, he said that the decision not to approve the prospective ad hoc human rights judge had become his commission's decision.
He further emphasized that his party was only authorized to approve or reject the names submitted by the Judicial Commission (KY).
"We only agree or reject, agree or disagree. We don't have the right to vote," he said.
Bambang Pacul also mentioned the character in giving approval by his commission to candidates for Supreme Court justices and ad hoc human rights judges, in addition to their competencies.
"If the judge is connected with competence, character, boss! 'That's right. If the character is not good, how about it? You are smart, champion, also have extraordinary energy when working, but if the character is chaotic, well that makes a tremendous damage," he said.
Moreover, he continued, the Supreme Court is the highest state judicial institution, as is the essence of the name embedded in the body of judicial power.
"What is Supreme Court? Why is the KPK's paranin (Corruption Eradication Commission) how? It's difficult, boss!" he added.
In addition, he continued, prospective ad hoc HAM judges were also highlighted about their experience in handling severe human rights cases in the country.
"What happened to me earlier, who (candidate for ad hoc judge) HAM has no experience in dealing with gross human rights," he said.
The results of the plenary session will be ratified at the nearest DPR RI Plenary Meeting during the IV Session Period for the 2022 '2023 Session Year to be processed in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
"Yes, please. The plenary is closest," he said.
The approval of the three candidates for Supreme Court justices was made by Commission III of the DPR after a series of fit and proper tests on candidates for Supreme Court justices from Monday (27/3) to Tuesday.
Previously, Bambang Pacul said that based on a report from the Secretariat of the DPR, the plenary meeting on Tuesday was attended by 41 members from 54 members of Commission III of the DPR, as well as from nine factions in parliament.
"Please allow me to open a plenary meeting and we declare the plenary meeting closed, do you agree?" said Bambang Pacul.
