        "summary": "The Indonesian government is set to prepare a draft revision of the Polri Law following recommendations from the Commission for Accelerating Police Reform to enhance the authority of the National Police Commission (Kompolnas), making its decisions binding on the National Police Chief. Yusril Ihza Mahendra, a commission member, emphasised that Kompolnas should operate outside the police structure with enforceable recommendations to improve oversight and reform. Police Chief Listyo Sigit Prabowo welcomed the proposals, committing to immediate follow-up discussions with the Minister of Law and Human Rights to advance internal reforms, including revisions to several police regulations by 2029.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA - A member of the Commission for Accelerating Police Reform,\nYusril Ihza Mahendra, has recommended strengthening the authority of the\nNational Police Commission (Kompolnas). One key enhancement is that\nrecommendations or decisions issued by Kompolnas must be implemented by\nthe National Police Chief. \u201cThe important point is the existence of\nKompolnas with expanded authority, and its decisions are binding, so\nthey must be carried out by the Police Chief,\u201d Yusril stated during a\npress conference at the Palace in Jakarta on Tuesday (5\/5\/2026). Yusril\nmentioned that Minister of Law and Human Rights Supratman Andi Agtas\nwill prepare a draft for the revision of the Polri Law to be submitted\nto the DPR. \u201cThat has already been conveyed as the task for Mr Minister\nof Law, Mr Supratman; it\u2019s our collective task to draft it and then\nsubmit it to the DPR as an amendment to the current Police Law,\nspecifically regarding certain articles related to Kompolnas,\u201d Yusril\nsaid. \u201cIn principle, Polri welcomes the recommendations from the Police\nReform Commission and will follow them up immediately,\u201d said Listyo.\nListyo added that all proposals from the commission will make Polri\nbetter in the future. \u201cThe strengthening of Kompolnas will certainly be\npart of what we will implement immediately. Regarding its placement\noutside the structure, we will soon meet with the Minister of Law,\u201d said\nListyo. It is known that the Commission for Accelerating Police Reform\nalso proposed a revision to Law Number 2 of 2002 on Polri. \u201cSo we\npropose that a revision of the Polri Law be formed, which will then be\nfollowed up with a government regulation or presidential regulation,\u201d\nsaid the Chairman of the Commission for Accelerating Police Reform,\nJimly Asshiddiqie, during a press conference at the Palace. \u201cThis\nincludes the agenda for internal reform that must change around eight\nPolri regulations and 24 Chief of Police regulations, which are expected\nto be completed by 2029,\u201d said Jimly.<\/p>",
