JAKARTA - The Vice Presidential Candidate for the Change Coalition, Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin, said that the decision of the Honorary Council of the Constitutional Court (MKMK) dismissed Anwar Usman from the chairman of the Constitutional Court as a judicial tragedy. It is known that Anwar was fired from the chair of the Constitutional Court because he was proven to have violated the judge's code of ethics related to the lawsuit on the minimum age limit for the vice presidential candidate who was suspected of passing President Jokowi's eldest son, Gibran Rakabuming to become the vice presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto. Anwar himself is Jokowi's brother-in-law who is none other than Gibran's uncle. Because the Constitutional Court was deemed to have changed to be the Family Court. "The dismissal of the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court has become the final decision of the Constitutional Court, with the decision there is a judicial tragedy," said Cak This in UMJ, Tangerang, Banten, Thursday, November 9. However, the Deputy Speaker of the DPR is reluctant to comment further on the decision of the MKMK. According to him, this is the business of the Chief Justice of the MKMK Prof. Jimly Asshiddiqie. "Yesterday is not our business, Mr. Jimly it is what knows," he said. For Cak Imin, the most important thing is that the Constitutional Court can be saved from constitutional violation practices that could damage the image and dignity of the highest legal institution. "We hope that, let's hope, let's maintain judicial power, in the future, must be safe," said the General Chairperson of the PKB.
