MKMK Check Again Anwar Usman Tomorrow

JAKARTA - The Honorary Council of the Constitutional Court (MKMK) will re-examine Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court Anwar Usman regarding alleged violations of the code of ethics on Friday (3/11).

"Tomorrow (Friday, 3/11) only two left, specifically checking the clerk and the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court (Anwar Usman)," said Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court Jimly Asshiddiqie as reported by ANTARA, Thursday, November 2.

Jimly said that the examination of the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court must be carried out more than once, because Anwar Usman received the most reports related to cases of alleged violations of the code of ethics.

He said that of the 21 reports of cases of alleged violations of the code of ethics based on Case Decision Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023 related to changing the requirements to become a presidential and vice presidential candidate for the Constitutional Court received by the MKMK, around 10 of them were reports addressed to Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court Anwar Usman.

"If I'm not mistaken, nine or 10 reports from 21," he said.

Currently, said Jimly, MKMK has completed 19 reports in the trial of alleged violations of the code of ethics to nine constitutional judges. Two other reports will be tried on Friday (3/11).

"So we have finished the trial today with 19 reports, tomorrow there are only two left, so a total of 21 reports," he said.

Jimly emphasized that the Constitutional Court would try to give the best decision regarding cases of alleged violations of the code of ethics on the decision of Case Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023.

The Constitutional Court on Thursday (2/11) examined three constitutional judges who were suspected of violating the code of ethics on the Constitutional Court's Decision Number 90/PUU-XXI/2023, namely Guntur Hamzah, Daniel Yusmic Pancastaki Foekh, and Wahiduddin Adams.

During the examination, Jimly stated that the constitutional judge and member of the MKMK Wahiduddin Adams were the most free of allegations of violations of the code of ethics from nine other constitutional judges.
