Deputy Minister of Law Eddy Hiariej targets all derivative regulations from the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) which will only be completed before January 2026.

Eddy explained that the Criminal Procedure Code has only ordered 25 items that need to be further regulated in Government Regulations (PP).

"Later there will be only three derivative rules. One Presidential Decree, two PPs," said Eddy at the Senayan Parliament Complex, Jakarta, Wednesday, November 26.

The first rule, continued Eddy, is the Presidential Decree on the Information Technology-Based Criminal Justice System, whose progress has reached 80 percent. Second, namely the PP on the Restorative Justice Mechanism.

Eddy said that the development of this PP had also reached 80 percent because it was previously available in the form of a bill.

Third, the PP regarding the Implementation of the Criminal Procedure Code which will contain various other technical provisions that have been spread in the internal regulations of law enforcement agencies.

"Why did we form this quickly? Because actually the order of the Criminal Procedure Code is already in the National Police Chief Regulation, it is in the Attorney General's Regulation, it is in the Supreme Court Regulation. It remains only to be compiled. Raised to PP," said Eddy.

Nevertheless, Eddy said there are two substances that have not been discussed at all. Namely the rules regarding the peace fine by the Prosecutor's Office and the provisions related to plea bargaining.

Eddy said, the material still requires further discussion. "He only has two, two substances. So God willing, before January 2026 it will be finished," he concluded.
