JAKARTA - The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Puan Maharani, reported the performance of the council for one year in the 2022-2023 Special Plenary Meeting on the 78th Anniversary of the DPR.

Puan revealed that the legislative council had received thousands of aspirations from the community that had been submitted to the Council's Apparatus (AKD).

From August 16, 2022, to July 25, 2023, the DPR has received 4,603 complaints from the people through physical mail and 255 letters through the website. That way, Puan said, the DPR always tries to carry out the people's mandate in absorbing all aspirations.

"There are 5 areas of problems that dominate public aspirations and complaints, namely Law, Human Rights and Security, Land and Reform Agrarian, Trade, Industry, Investment, and BUMN, Financial and Forestry Economics, Environment, and Energy and Mineral Resources," said Puan at the DPR building, Tuesday, August 29.

Puan also detailed several council achievements during the 2022-2023 working period, including in the legislative function where the DPR has successfully completed 23 draft laws that have been passed into law.

"Then 16 Draft Laws are in the Level I Discussion Stage, 5 of which are open Cumulative Bills and 46 are in the drafting stage. A total of 29 of them are open cumulative bills," explained the former Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture.

"In the process of forming the Law, the DPR RI always provides opportunities for the public to participate through various activities, such as hearings, public hearings, working visits, seminars, and discussions," continued Puan.

Regarding the case of testing the Law at the Constitutional Court (MK), there were 130 cases of testing the Law during the 2022-2023 Session Year. Of these, said Puan, only 13 cases had their decisions granted by the Constitutional Court.

"This shows that the implementation of the legislative function of the DPR RI, is in line with the state constitution," he said.
