Jakarta, Legal Literacy – The House of Representatives (DPR) has confirmed that the ratification of the Draft Criminal Procedure Code (RKUHAP) will not take place in the near future. The discussion of this crucial bill is certain to continue after the recess ends in mid-August 2025. According to the Chairman of Commission III of the DPR, Habiburokhman, this postponement is necessary because the drafting team and the synchronization team in charge of refining the RKUHAP draft have not completed their work. This team was formed after Commission III and the government completed the discussion of 1,676 points in the Problem Inventory List (DIM) in early July. The schedule, which initially targeted completion on July 21, was not achieved, while the DPR will enter a recess period on July 25, 2025. While waiting for the continuation of the drafting team's work, Commission III of the DPR is taking proactive steps by reopening the dialogue space. They plan to hold a series of Public Hearing Meetings (RDPU) that will involve various elements of society. The invitees include civil society groups such as the Indonesian Legal Aid Foundation (YLBHI), which had previously vocally demanded a halt to the discussion, as well as various advocate organizations that are pushing for the process to continue. Habiburokhman emphasized that the DPR has an obligation to listen to and accommodate the aspirations of all parties. This delay is also motivated by sharp criticism from various groups. Civil society groups highlighted the rushed discussion process, especially regarding the discussion of more than 1,600 DIMs which were completed in just two days. This process is considered to have minimal meaningful public participation. On the other hand, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has also voiced concerns about at least 31 articles in the RKUHAP draft that have the potential to weaken or hinder the work of the anti-corruption agency. To date, the KPK has not been officially involved by Commission III in the discussion. In response to this criticism, member of Commission III Soedeson Tandra emphasized the DPR's commitment not to rush. He emphasized the importance of maintaining a careful balance between protecting the rights of citizens and the authority of law enforcement officials to prevent potential (abuse of power). Meanwhile, the DPR leadership through Deputy Speaker of the DPR Cucun Ahmad Syamsurijal stated that they would consider the proposal from Commission III if they wanted to continue the discussion during the recess, but the decision would depend on the urgency. Responding to the issue of the KPK not being involved, Cucun argued that this coordination should be the domain of the government. According to him, institutions under the executive branch, including the KPK, should have unified their views in the preparation of the DIM before being submitted to the DPR.
