JAKARTA - Vice President (Vice President) Ma'ruf Amin agrees that Law Number 31 of 1997 concerning Military Courts is revised.

This was conveyed by the Vice President after attending the Inauguration of the Regional Committee for Sharia Economics and Finance (KDEKS) of East Kalimantan (Kaltim) at the East Kalimantan Governor's Office Complex, Samarinda, Friday, August 4.

"I think about the revision of the law, revisions are normal. I think Law 31 will experience the same thing, there are things that need to be refined (so) more in accordance with the demands of the situation," said the Vice President.

Therefore, the Vice President said that the statement by the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menko Polhukam) Mahfud MD that the government would consider revising the Military Court Law by including it in the long-term National Legislation Program (Prolegnas) was the right thing.

According to him, the revision process needs to continue because the provisions in the law must accommodate the aspirations of the people and the demands of the times.

"I think please continue (revision of Law Number 31) and in accordance with the aspirations that arise. And, of course, the law is better in response to the demands that occur," he said, confiscated by Antara.

Previously, the Head of the National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas) Marshal Madya (Marsdya) of the Indonesian National Armed Forces Henri Alfiandi was named a suspect by the Military Police Center Investigator (Puspom) for the alleged bribery case in the Basarnas for the 2021-2023 Fiscal Year, Monday 31 July.

The status of the suspect in the same case was first assigned to Henri by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) at the KPK Jakarta Red and White Building on Wednesday, July 26.

A number of parties have urged the revision of Law (UU) Number 31 of 1997 concerning Military Courts because the provisions of this law are considered to make an active TNI member who commits a general crime able to escape the snares of the law because he will be tried in military courts.
