The Minister of Law, Supratman Andi Agtas, reported on his\ndepartment\u2019s performance to President Prabowo Subianto during a limited\nmeeting at the State Palace on Tuesday (29\/09\/2026). A key highlight of\nthe report was the implementation of legal aid posts (posbankum).<\/p>\n
Supratman stated that there are currently 83,960 legal aid posts\ndistributed across villages and sub-districts throughout Indonesia. \u201cI\nam reporting to the President that approximately 83,960 legal aid posts\nhave been established across all villages and sub-districts in\nIndonesia,\u201d Supratman said following the meeting.<\/p>\n
Supratman noted that the presence of these legal aid posts has\nassisted in resolving various legal issues faced by the community. Out\nof 16,000 cases reported to the legal aid posts, 14,000 cases were\nsuccessfully resolved through a restorative justice approach.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe result, which I am conveying to the President, is that from the\n83,000-plus established legal aid posts, the number of incoming\ncomplaints is around 16,000 cases. Of those, 14,000 cases could be\nresolved through mediation, which would otherwise have proceeded to the\njudicial process. However, thanks to the existence of the legal aid\nposts, we can resolve them through restorative justice,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Through the restorative justice approach, these tens of thousands of\ncases do not need to be brought to court. According to him, this has\nenabled the state to save up to Rp1.2 trillion. \u201cWith restorative\njustice, the state can save Rp1.2 trillion from the 14,000 cases we\nresolved through the mediation mechanism. There are 2,000 cases that\nwill proceed through free legal aid processes, and this is ongoing,\u201d he\nadded.<\/p>\n
Supratman revealed that the majority of cases handled by the legal\naid posts involve land disputes between neighbours and domestic violence\n(KDRT). Additionally, many other minor cases are resolved through\nmediation.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe most frequent cases in the legal aid posts include land disputes\nbetween neighbours, domestic violence, and many minor cases that can\nactually be resolved through mediation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Suprament also noted that during the meeting, he was requested to\ncoordinate with the Head of the National Narcotics Board (BNN) Suyudi\nArio Seto, the Head of BRIN Arif Satria, and relevant ministers\nregarding the rehabilitation of drug convicts in prisons. \u201cAs prisons\nare currently over capacity, we will hold a joint meeting in the near\nfuture to formulate a policy to be adopted by the government,\u201d he\nconcluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/good-news-for-prabowo-legal-aid-posts-save-state-rp1-2-trillion-1790686530", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
