Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives (DPR) Sari Yuliati has\naffirmed that the House never refused to deliberate the Asset Forfeiture\nBill.<\/p>\n
She made the statement while denying rumours circulating on social\nmedia, insisting that reports claiming the DPR had rejected the bill\nwere entirely untrue.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn connection with what is circulating on social media, the false\nnews claiming that the DPR RI has rejected deliberation of the Asset\nForfeiture Bill,\u201d said Sari when opening the DPR Raripurna meeting on\nTuesday (14 July).<\/p>\n
She noted that the Asset Forfeiture Bill is currently included in the\n2026 Priority National Legislation Programme (Prolegnas), and remains at\nthe drafting and aspiration-gathering stage in Commission III of the\nDPR.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt present, Commission III is in the drafting stage, gathering\npublic input in the framework of meaningful public participation,\u201d said\nthe Golkar Party politician.<\/p>\n
Deputy Speaker Saan Mustopa of the NasDem faction said the Asset\nForfeiture Bill has been targeted for completion this year, as it is\npart of the 2026 Priority Prolegnas.<\/p>\n
However, Saan ensured that deliberation of the bill would continue to\ninvolve broad public participation.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a priority for 2026. And of course, because it is a 2026\npriority, we will make every effort to complete it this year,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Chair of Commission III Habiburokhman said his side held\nan internal meeting yesterday to discuss accelerating the Asset\nForfeiture Bill, while also denying rumours that the DPR refused to\ndeliberate it.<\/p>\n
The Gerindra Party politician said the bill is still at the\naspiration-gathering stage, noting that aspiration-gathering meetings\nfor the bill have been the most numerous of any bill so far.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is far more extensive than deliberation of other laws, within\njust the past two to three weeks,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Habib also dismissed suggestions that the DPR would slow down\ndeliberation of the Asset Forfeiture Bill. According to him, as a DPR\ninitiative, deliberation will proceed far more quickly than if it were a\ngovernment initiative.<\/p>\n
This is because if it were a government initiative, the problem\ninventory list (DIM) would be proposed by the eight factions in the DPR,\nmaking deliberation take longer. Conversely, with a DPR initiative, the\nDIM is proposed by the government, making the process faster.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat would generate a great many DIMs \u2014 eight times as many as if it\nwere proposed by the government,\u201d said Habib.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/dpr-denies-rejecting-asset-forfeiture-bill-targets-completion-this-year-1784073086", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
