JAKARTA - Minister of Law Supratman Andi Agtas will report the Draft Law (RUU) on Asset Confiscation which is currently being pushed by various parties to be included in the National Legislation Program (Prolegnas) of the Indonesian House of Representatives to President Prabowo Subianto.

He said Prabowo has asked the Ministry of Law to review all bills that have the potential to hinder government programs that have been stated in Astacita. According to him, Prabowo's enthusiasm regarding the eradication of corruption can be interpreted through his speeches.

"If that is certain, the eradication of corruption is part of it," said Supratman after a meeting with Commission XIII of the Indonesian House of Representatives at the Parliament Complex, Jakarta, Monday, November 4, as quoted by Antara.

He also admitted that he was waiting for an invitation from the Indonesian House of Representatives Legislation Body to the Ministry of Law to discuss a number of bills that will be included in the Prolegnas. Because so far, he said the Ministry of Law has not discussed the Prolegnas.

"In fact, I want to go to this Legislative Body, to discuss it," he said.

In addition, he admitted that he would review the proposal to replace the term "confiscation" with "recovery" in the Asset Confiscation Bill. He has not received information regarding the considerations for the proposed change in the term.

"Several laws that were asked about earlier, because this is not only the government, not only the president, we will actually talk to the DPR," he said.

So far, the DPR RI Legislative Body is inviting various institutions and organizations to absorb the aspirations of the proposed bill. In addition to the Bill on Elections, the Bill on Asset Confiscation is also often proposed by related institutions.

The Head of the DPR RI Legislative Body also stated that they must first hear the proposal from Commission III of the DPR RI so that the Draft Law (RUU) on Asset Confiscation can be included in the 2024-2029 Prolegnas.

Commission III of the DPR is the most competent council tool to submit the proposed law in accordance with its main duties and functions.
