Member of Commission III of the DPR, Nasir Djamil, stated that his party is ready to discuss a bill on asset confiscation (Asset Confiscation Bill) if the Legislation Body (Baleg) does hand over the assignment to the legal commission.

"Of course, one building can't be crowded. Of course, if Baleg's attitude and statement are indeed that the plan to discuss the Asset Confiscation Bill can be submitted to Commission III, of course the leadership and members of Commission III will be ready to carry out the task," said Nasir at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Wednesday, September 10.

Nasir admitted that there was no problem if Commission III of the DPR had to discuss the bill, along with the revision of the Criminal Procedure Code (RKUHAP) which is currently still ongoing.

"That's technical. It can be parallel or who takes precedence. Which one needs to be resolved, the Criminal Procedure Code or the confiscation of assets," he said.

Regarding the substance of the Asset Confiscation Bill, Nasir said that later it would be carried out. Most importantly, he said, there is a will that must be managed and maintained so that President Prabowo Subianto's hopes can be followed up by the legislators of the law, in this case the DPR RI.

"Regarding substance, it is a kind of opinion. Because of the various opinions, I personally focus more on following up on what the president expects," said the PKS politician.

For information, the Asset Confiscation Bill has now been included in the 2025 Priority National Legislation Program (Prolegnas). This decision was taken after the DPR Baleg held the 2025 Prolegnas Evaluation Meeting with the Minister of Law and the Law Design Committee (PPUU).

"There are three bills proposed to be included in the second amendment to the 2025 Priority Bill Prolegnas, namely one Bill on Asset Confiscation," said Chairman of the House of Representatives Baleg Bob Hasan at the House of Representatives Baleg Meeting Room, Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Tuesday, September 9.

Apart from confiscation of assets, the other two bills are the Bill on the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) and the Bill on Industrial Estates. Bob said the three bills remained the DPR's initiative bill so that it no longer needed to be debated.

"So, confiscation of assets is no longer a debate in the government or anything, but in the DPR, and that goes into 2025," said Bob.
