UNSPLASH ILLUSTRATION

JAKARTA - The Honorary Council of Judges (MKH) dishonorably dismissed a judge of the Manado State Administrative Court (PTUN) with the initials MIT for being absent from service for 80 working days.

"The MKH Assembly views that the judge reported as unfit to be a judge again and imposes severe disciplinary sanctions for dishonorable dismissal," said MKH chairman and member Yosran in a written statement quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, July 26.

The dismissal with disrespect was carried out after the Judicial Commission (KY) and the Supreme Court (MA) again held the MKH trial in the MA building.

This trial is a review based on the Joint Determination Letter of the Chairperson of the Supreme Court and the Chairperson of the Judicial Commission Number: 1/MKH/2022 concerning the formation of the MKH on behalf of MIT.

The MKH trial was postponed because the judge reported, namely MIT, was not present. The trial was a proposal from the Supreme Court for disciplinary violations committed by MIT.

MIT was brought before MKH for committing a violation of not being in office for 80 working days. At the Manado State Administrative Court, MIT has been summoned for examination twice.

However, the person concerned never attended the summons even though he had been officially and properly summoned. The reason for the reported disciplinary action cannot be ascertained because MIT was not present during the examination.

In writing from a WhatsApp message to his colleague, the judge reportedly did not enter the office on the grounds that he was not given a mutation permit to the Palu Administrative Court, and was only given seven days of leave for important reasons.

He said that after the transfer to the Palu Administrative Court was granted, the judge reported was still not present on duty even though he had been properly summoned three times.

"Today, the MIT MKH trial was also absent without a valid reason," he said.

Then, based on a WhatsApp message to the companion team from the Indonesian Judges Association (IKAHI), the judge reported said he was not interested in returning to be a judge. Based on that, MKH took the decision to dishonorably dismiss MIT.

The judge reported at MIT was proven to have violated the Joint Decree of the Chairperson of the Supreme Court and the Chairperson of the Judicial Commission Number 047/KMA/SKB/IV/2009, and Number 02/SKB/P.KY/IV/2009 concerning the Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct for Judges, letter C point 8 concerning discipline. tall.
