Chief Justice Muhammad Syarifuddin gave his remarks after being elected as Chief Justice of the 2020-2025 Period in the Special Plenary Session on Election of Chief Justice at the Supreme Court Building, Jakarta, Monday (6/4/2020).

The potential crisis of ad hoc justices on the Supreme Court is surprising. This event could have been anticipated.

The condition is quite concerning and shows that there are problems in the governance and planning of human resource recruitment. The retirement of a number of ad hoc justices on corruption should have be known beforehand. The solution could have been planned in advance because the data is open and available. For this reason, it is natural for the public to be surprised as to why there would be a shortage of ad hoc justices on corruption.
