Meeting between DPR leadership, DPR faction leaders, and DPR Commission III leaders and President Joko Widodo at the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, Monday (23/9/2019). The meeting was to discuss a number of issues, one of which was the Draft Criminal Code (RKUHP).
The Criminal Code Bill is just one step away from being passed into law. However, it is still necessary to listen to the opinion of the people.
As reported by Kompas, on 27 May, 2022, the House of Representatives (DPR) Commission III, which oversees legal affairs, human rights and security, agreed with the explanation of the government regarding 14 crucial issues that had drawn public criticism. With this, the DPR Commission III has agreed to continue the deliberation process to pass the bill into law.
