"Make sure you understand very well every offense and element of the articles contained, so that you can apply it appropriately at the time the Criminal Code was implemented," said Burhanuddin in a written statement, Wednesday, December 14, confiscated by Antara. to his staff, Burhanuddin said that the Criminal Code was only after it was approved as a law by the DPR and the government would be promulgated in 2025.

In the context of implementing the Criminal Code, Burhanuddin said it was necessary to carry out internalization in the Prosecutor's work unit by carrying out more group dynamics, namely bringing in academic and practitioner experts, so that there is uniformity and common mindset in the implementation of the Criminal Code in the future.

Furthermore, said Burhanuddin, in essence, prosecutors are one of various legal practitioner professions.

"If the prosecutor is able to bring these three things together simultaneously, there will certainly be uniformity of mindset, capacity, and good quality to become an ideal prosecutor figure," he said.
