JAKARTA - The Judicial Commission (KY) of the Republic of Indonesia emphasized that it has never asked for levies of any kind from candidates for supreme justice in the context of activities leading up to Lebaran 2021.

"The Judicial Commission has never asked anyone for anything and in any context," said KY spokesperson Miko Ginting in a written statement received in Jakarta, as reported by Antara, Sunday, May 9.

If there are parties acting on behalf of institutions or members of the Judicial Commission, he ensures that this is a fraud.

The Judicial Commission, he said, received information on the existence of parties acting on behalf of the institution to ask for something from prospective Supreme Court judges.

Therefore, KY appealed to prospective Supreme Court judges or other parties not to heed and at the same time report any such action.

"Reports can be submitted via email [email protected]," said Miko.

Previously, KY had announced that 45 candidates for Supreme Court judges had passed the quality selection as one of the requirements to fill in the 13 formations required by the Supreme Court (MA).

The candidates for Supreme Court judges who pass will then take part in the health and personality selection in the third week of June 2021.

Regarding the selected room, 27 people chose the criminal room, 13 people chose the civil room, three people chose the military room, and two people chose the special state administration room for taxes.

When viewed from gender, he said, 40 men and five women.

The selection was made according to the Supreme Court's request to fill the positions of the 13 vacant Supreme Court justices. The positions required are two supreme judges for the civil chamber, eight chief judges for the criminal chamber, one supreme judge for the military chamber, and two supreme judges for the special state administration chamber for taxes.
