Member of Commission III of the House of Representatives from the PDIP faction, Ichsan Soelistyo, questioned the candidate for judges of the Constitutional Court (MK) Reny Halida Ilham while undergoing a fit and proper test at the DPR today. Reny was questioned because he had a track record of circumculating the verdict of Pinangki prosecutors in corruption and money laundering cases, from 10 years in prison to 4 years in prison. Initially, Ichsan brought up the issue of Reny, who had failed to participate in the selection of candidates for Supreme Court justices. He revealed that Reny was also registered in the list of candidates (DCS) for DPD RI candidates. "In this fit and proper test, we must also look for a track record. Based on our records, you have participated in the selection of candidates for Supreme Court justices but failed in 2017, 2019, 2020. One of the failures was a personality test, but I was not included in that problem. The second mother is also registered in DCS DPD RI number 16 yes," said Ichsan in the House of Representatives Commission III room, Senayan, Jakarta, Monday, September 25. Ichsan also mentioned Reny's track record during his time as an ad hoc judge at the Jakarta High Court during 2016-2020. According to him, there were 11 corruption defendants whose verdict was relaxed when Reny became one of the panel of judges. "In Mrs.'s profile record, you were an ad hoc judge at the Jakarta High Court from 2016 to 2020. During her tenure as an ad hoc judge, there were 11 cases that received relief, of course, Mrs. Got the relief that was decided by Mrs. as one of the panel of judges," said Ichsan. Based on this track record, Ichsan also asked Reny's performance guarantee if he was later elected as a candidate for judge of the Constitutional Court. Because he said, the Constitutional Court's decision would have an impact on many parties. Especially ahead of the 2024 General Election, which will deal with disputes over the results of the vote. "We are not included in the case, but this is a problem. If there is a corruption case, there must be someone who does not accept it. This means that the corruption supervisory agency, all kinds of things do not accept it, but they themselves do not have many, ma'am. How do you guarantee us that you will make a fair decision based on the truth. Because if the Constitutional Court's decision is the effect, his followers, many Mrs.," said Ichsan. Answering Ichsan's question, Reny also explained the reason why he participated in the selection of prospective judges for the Constitutional Court and as a candidate for DPD RI members. "Basically, as an Indonesian citizen, I have always been able to serve according to my vision and mission, namely serving the Indonesian nation and the law does not prohibit me from following this," said Reny. Then regarding the circumcision of the corruptor's verdict, one of which was the Pinangki prosecutor, Reny reasoned that he had experience in many decisions of corruption cases. "And my track record of giving relief decisions said, quote an quote corruptor, actually as a judge in the corruption court was 10 years and 3 months. I tried the examination, decided the case more than 100, and it was only seen from a small part of my decision which became a concern," said Reny. Reny said the verdict against the defendant in the corruption case was taken with the panel of judges taking into account aspects of legal certainty and justice. According to him, the defendant also has the same rights as a citizen.

"But behind that, I and the panel always make decisions that can truly adopt from various aspects of legal certainty and justice, justice from the community and justice from the defendant himself. So we cannot see justice from the community alone, because the defendant also has the same rights as a citizen," he said.
