The Gerindra Party has praised the commitment and courage of House of\nRepresentatives Deputy Speaker Sufmi Dasco Ahmad in absorbing public\naspirations brought to parliament. Gerindra considers that Dasco is\ncarrying out his position as a trust.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe from the Gerindra Party certainly appreciate and respect the\nsteps taken by our leader in the DPR RI as well as Gerindra Party leader\nSufmi Dasco Ahmad, as clear evidence of the commitment, integrity and\nresponsibility of one of Gerindra\u2019s best cadres who views office as a\ntrust,\u201d Gerindra Party spokesman Bahtra Banong told journalists on\nThursday (27\/8\/2026).<\/p>\n
Dasco\u2019s willingness to stake his position is seen as a sign of\nseriousness in carrying out his duties for the nation\u2019s interest. Dasco\nis considered committed to eradicating corruption, enforcing the law,\nand promoting clean governance.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe willingness to stake one\u2019s position is not merely about\npolitical positioning but demonstrates a seriousness to place the\nnation\u2019s interests, as well as the eradication of corruption, law\nenforcement and legal certainty, above personal or group interests. This\nis also in line with President Prabowo Subianto\u2019s commitment to\nstrengthen corruption eradication and deliver a clean and\nintegrity-driven government,\u201d Bahtra said.<\/p>\n
Bahtra said his party understands the public\u2019s aspirations, which\nhave long pushed for the Asset Forfeiture Bill to be passed immediately.\nTherefore, Dasco\u2019s commitment, he said, must be seen as an affirmation\nof seriousness in overseeing the agenda rather than merely an effort to\ndampen public aspirations.<\/p>\n
\u201cGerindra respects and listens to public input and encourages the\ndeliberation of this bill to be carried out seriously, openly and\nresponsibly, so that it produces strong and effective regulation while\nupholding the principles of the rule of law and justice,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
At the same time, according to Bahtra, Gerindra is currently focused\non supporting the administration of President Prabowo Subianto and\nensuring that national priority programmes run optimally and that their\nbenefits are truly felt by all levels of society.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor us, politics is not merely about office and power, but about\ntrust and real work. Therefore, the commitment to eradicating\ncorruption, enforcing the law, and the success of the government\u2019s\npriority programmes must be fought for together, with the ultimate goal\nof delivering a stronger, cleaner and fairer nation, and increasingly\ntangible public welfare,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
House leaders previously received activist Supriyono alias Botok from\nthe Pati United Community Alliance (AMPB) along with several colleagues\nat the parliament building. During the audience, the DPR committed to\npassing the Asset Forfeiture Bill in December 2026.<\/p>\n
\u201cVery well, thank you. We have heard the aspirations of all of you.\nEarlier in the plenary meeting, we conveyed, agreed and approved that\nthe latest deadline for the Asset Forfeiture Bill will be passed in the\nplenary session on 15 December 2026,\u201d Dasco told Botok and his\ncolleagues.<\/p>\n
Dasco told Botok and the others from Pati that he would provide a\ncopy of the plenary minutes as a reference and as the DPR\u2019s commitment\nto the public. In addition, Dasco said the meeting would serve as input\nfor Commission III of the DPR, and that a more specific meeting\nregarding the Asset Forfeiture Bill would be held later.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat can be scheduled later. It is just a matter of when and the\ntiming, because if you return to Pati, we can confirm the timing later,\nso that we can schedule a meeting to receive more complete input to\nenrich the Asset Forfeiture Law,\u201d Dasco said.<\/p>\n
Dasco said House leaders are committed to completing the Asset\nForfeiture Bill according to the agreed timeline. He said there is no\nconcern about meeting the demonstrators\u2019 demands regarding the bill\u2019s\npassage.<\/p>\n
\u201cHouse leaders are committed to completing this law on time,\u201d Dasco\nsaid.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have no problem, no concern about meeting your demands. If it is\nnot completed, then we will resign; that is not a problem,\u201d he\nadded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/bahtra-banong-appreciates-dascos-commitment-on-asset-forfeiture-bill-1787835248", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
