The Asset Confiscation Bill is believed to be able to make state finances very well established. Executive Director of the Indonesian State Asset Concerned Community Forum (Formopan), Sahat F Aritonang also urged that the Asset Confiscation Bill be immediately discussed and ratified by the DPR RI.
Sahat emphasized that so that state finances are established, the Asset Confiscation Bill also regulates the management of confiscated assets.
"For established Indonesia's finances, this confiscated assets must be managed properly. After the confiscation of assets, of course there will be a lawsuit, that's what we have to explore," he said, in the National Seminar on Acceleration of the Asset Confiscation Bill, State Asset Care Community Forum (Formopan), Tuesday 27 June.
He emphasized that the DPR and the government must really pay serious attention to the Asset Confiscation Bill. For example, related to the bill governing the formation of the State Asset Management Agency.
"So he will be separated later, between those who investigate, confiscate, and manage assets. So that later, material for state finances may be covered with good control," he said.
Researcher of the Parliamentary Concerned Community Forum (Formappi), Lucius Karus, doubts that the DPR will immediately discuss the Asset Confiscation Bill. "Since the President sent the Surpres in early May 2023, the DPR has not made any steps. To schedule this bill to be brought to the Plenary Session for discussion. I suspect that the Asset Confiscation Bill is waiting for the right stage. Whether to continue, or to be stopped," he said.
Because, according to Lucius's observations, the DPR always prioritizes discussing laws that have electoral impacts, ahead of the election. "Just look at the Village Bill, it's only discussed in a matter of days. When they need the support of the Village Head, it's easy to change his term of office to 9 years. It's easy to then ask for something as a reward to village heads," he said.
"So it is definitely not the right time to discuss this before February 2024. It has not been discussed yet, many drafts in 2022 are reduced in 2023. It is still the government, not the DPR. So in the government there are also many players," explained Lucius.

Legal practitioner Denny Kailimang assessed that the Asset Confiscation Bill has a positive spirit. This is because Article 5 of the Asset Confiscation Law regulates state officials to seize assets, although it is still in the form of alleged misappropriation.
"It's actually better if this is actually the case. So if any of our neighbors, officials, have a car that doesn't match, we can report it," said Denny.
Former Chairman of the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK), Yunus Husein explained, the Asset Confiscation Bill is not to punish the perpetrators. But to seize assets of criminal acts to be owned by the state.
In the case of confiscation of assets, it was emphasized that the prosecutor as a state lawyer only fought assets, without having to punish the perpetrator. "It could be because the perpetrator is still being hunted, dead, permanently sick, or there is a situation that does not allow the person to be tried," he said.
