Presidential candidate number 2, Prabowo Subianto, promised to establish the National Legislation Center if he succeeded in winning the 2024 General Election. This promise is part of Prabowo's commitment to strengthen the law in Indonesia.

"The National Legislation Center Agency plays a role in harmonizing various laws and regulations from the center to the regions, so there is a kind of legal harmonization," said Deputy Chairman of the Steering Committee of the Prabowo-Gibran National Campaign Team, Yusril Ihza Mahendra in Jakarta, Wednesday.

Yusril, who is a Professor of Constitutional Law, highlighted the importance of the presence of an institution dedicated specifically to legislation.

"Later on, the agency will be tasked with forming and reviewing laws and regulations in Indonesia," he said.

The chairman of the Crescent Star Party (PBB) also admitted that he was surprised by Prabowo's appearance in his inaugural debate. Yusril assessed that Prabowo understood the legal problems of the country.

The first debate that was held in the courtyard of the General Election Commission (KPU) office carried the theme Law, Human Rights, Eradication of Corruption, Government and Improvement of Public Services, Strengthening Democracy, and Handling of Disinformation and Community Harmony.

"I was very surprised with Pak Prabowo. He always had long discussions with all of us. He seemed to have mastered the material. Thank God he performed extraordinary," said Yusril.

During the debate session, Prabowo said that the welfare of the apparatus was an important foundation to strengthen the law in Indonesia. He also promised to raise the salaries of law enforcers, so that they were no longer tempted to carry out nepotism practices.

"When I receive a mandate from the people, I will improve the quality of life of all judges in Indonesia, all workers around the court, and all law enforcers I will improve the quality of their lives. So they do not commit corruption, that's my commitment to the Indonesian people," said Prabowo.
