JAKARTA - In a meeting of the Legislation Body (Baleg) DPR RI, Minister of Law and Human Rights Yasonna Laoly was asked to explain the government's attitude regarding the polemic Pancasila Ideology Policy Bill (HIP).
This request was made by a member of the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) faction Mulyanto after proposing that this bill be withdrawn from the 2020 Priority Prolegnas.
"Earlier I told you to drop the HIP Bill. The leadership of Baleg has submitted a procedure through the stages of being taken to the Bamus and so on. Therefore, Mr Baleg leadership, please make our notes as a conclusion so that we will process it to a further level that PKS asks for this HIP Bill to be dropped in the 2020 Priority Prolegnas, "said Mulyanto at the DPR RI Baleg meeting, Thursday, July 2.
After conveying his views, Mulyanto then asked Yasonna who was present at the meeting as a government representative. "Because the Minister was present, we wanted the Minister's view after hearing the input and aspirations of the community towards this HIP Bill, please answer it, sir," he said.
Hearing this statement, Head of Baleg Supratman Andi Atgas spoke up. He explained that according to the mechanism in the DPR RI Standing Orders Number 23 of 2012, if there are objections to the draft law, it cannot be submitted through the legislative body. The delivery, he continued, must be done through a deliberative body.
"If there are friends who object to HIP, please go through the mechanism. Submit in Bamus asking for it to be perfected," he said.
PKS insisted again. F-PKS member Bukhori Yusuf asked Yasonna to explain the government's position. He questioned several things, one of which was the continuation of the Presidential Letter (Surpres) in response to the draft legislation which was an initiative of the DPR RI.
"We want to hear from the Minister whether the president is willing to refuse or it is still a puzzle," he said.
Responding to the question of the two PKS faction members, Yasonna answered that until now the government still has 60 days or two months since this legislation was proposed and responded to by the Indonesian Parliament. The PDIP politician said that currently there are a number of options being reviewed by the government.
"The government still has a long time to go, there is still time since it was handed over by the DPR," said Yasonna.
This study, he said, was based on a number of developments related to these regulations. However, he ensured that the government would still respect the existing mechanisms in the DPR.
"I think, regarding the mechanism regarding the DPR, we will leave it to friends in the DPR because that is what happened. Of course Baleg has the authority to do that, because it is the result of the plenary meeting and has even been sent to the government," he said.
It is known, the DPR has currently withdrawn dozens of Drafts of Law (RUU) from the 2020 Priority Prolegnas. This revocation is carried out so that at the end of this year, the Priority Prolegnas Bill can be passed into a Law. However, the highly polemic HIP Bill is not included in it.
The dozens of draft laws that were drawn were:
Draft Law on Cybersecurity and Resilience Draft Law on Amendments to Law Number 32 of 2002 concerning Broadcasting Draft Law on Lands Draft Law on the Second Amendment to Law Number 41 of 1999 concerning Forestry Draft Law -Law on the Second Amendment to Law Number 31 of 2004 concerning Fisheries Draft Law concerning Amendments to Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation Draft Law concerning Amendments to Law Number 5 of 1999 concerning Prohibition of Monopolistic Practices and Unfair Business Competition Draft Law on the Elimination of Sexual Violence Draft Law on Amendments to Law Number 2 of 2004 concerning Settlement of Industrial Relations Disputes Draft Law on Amendments to Law Number 12 of 2010 concerning Scout Movement Draft Law Un dang regarding Amendments to Law Number 21 of 2011 concerning the Financial Services Authority Draft Law on Amendments to Law Number 20 of 2013 concerning Medical Education Draft Law on Pharmaceuticals (Omnibus Law) Draft Law on the National Health System .
