JAKARTA - Chairman of the PDI-P (PDIP) DPP Deddy Yevri Sitorus accused Yasonna H. Laoly of being removed from the position of Minister of Law and Human Rights (Menkumham) of purely a political agenda. President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) is said to be securing the interests and political position of his dynasty. "The replacement of Menkumham Yasonna Laoly is purely a political agenda to pass the MD3 Law in order to achieve three goals," Deddy told reporters in a written statement, Monday, August 19. “ First, so that the Golkar Party, which is already under Jokowi's control, is in a strong position because it can control the legislature from the DPR RI to the provinces and DPRD districts/cities,” continued this member of the DPR RI With this condition, Deddy explained, Jokowi could easily regulate national and regional political maps. “ To compensate for the power of the elected president and dwarf the PDI-P, ” he said. The second reason is that the MD3 Law also aims to make it easier for Jokowi to share his position within the Golkar Party. Thus, the conflict that occurs can be suppressed. "The third is to paralyze political parties that will hold congresses, congresses and congresses before the elections so that they are defeated and produced in the regional elections and the preparation of regional election management personnel," explained Deddy. He said this speculation is very possible. This is because the Minister of Law and Human Rights has an important role in the ratification of the management of political parties. "If you are not subject to the risk of not participating in the regional elections or not being ratified by the management," said Deddy. As previously reported, President Joko Widodo officially inaugurated Supratman Andi Agtas as Minister of Law and Human Rights (Menkumham). The inauguration was held at the State Palace, Jakarta today, Monday, August 19 at 09.30 WIB.

This procession begins by reading out the Decree of the President of the Republic of Indonesia Number 92/P of 2024 concerning the Dismissal and Appointment of State Ministers of the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet for the 2019-2024 Period. After that, Jokowi took the oath of office of minister.
