The Number Of Seats In The DPR Is Bigger, The Right To Administrative Rights Can Run Smoothly

JAKARTA The proposal to use the DPR's Right to investigate the decision of the Constitutional Court No. 90/PUU-XXI/2023 is said to be still rolling. The number of camp seats opposite the nomination of Gibran Rakabuming Raka is considered to be the key to the smooth rights of the DPR's inquiry.

A political observer at Unair Surabaya, Airlangga Pribadi Kusman, revealed that the DPR is very likely to implement the right of inquiry to investigate the Constitutional Court's decision. Moreover, the Honorary Council of the Constitutional Court (MKMK) has decided that Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court Anwar Usman committed a serious ethical violation because he was involved in the decision.

Moreover, the coalition camp that carried the Ganjar Pranowo- Mahfud MD pair and the Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar pair had a total of 314 seats in the DPR, while the coalition of political parties that supported Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka only had 216 seats. With this composition, the right of inquiry can actually be rolled out smoothly in the DPR.

The problem is that currently, said Airlangga, the majority of DPR members are candidates in the 2024 General Election, and are in electoral districts (dapil) to hold socialization.

"They are busy going down to the electoral district. Is it possible to organize and consolidate the right to inquiry?" he said when contacted, Sunday, November 26.

Airlangga explained that the focus of investigating the right of inquiry could target the alleged involvement of President Joko Widodo. This is because the Right of Questionnaire is one of the DPR's supervisory instruments towards the executive institution.

The MKMK itself emphasized that there had been a serious ethical violation. This means that the right of inquiry to carry out the investigation can be carried out. Moreover, if it is linked to the MPR Tap on State Administrators who are Clean and Free of KKN. That still applies," he said.

Previously, a member of the DPR from the PDIP faction, Masinton Pasaribu, said that the discourse on the right to inquiry against the Constitutional Court's decision continued. His party claims that there have been eight members of the DPR from three factions who have agreed to propose the right of inquiry to investigate the Constitutional Court scandal.
