The Constitutional Court (MK) has partially upheld a challenge to provisions in the KPK Law requiring candidates for leadership positions to relinquish structural positions or other roles, ruling that terms like "melepaskan" and "tidak menjalankan" should be interpreted as "nonaktif dari" to align with the 1945 Constitution. This decision distinguishes KPK leaders, selected based on competence rather than public election, from elected officials, allowing them to potentially return to their original positions after their tenure without permanent resignation, as long as they have not reached retirement age. The ruling aims to prevent conflicts of interest while ensuring leaders can focus fully on anti-corruption efforts during their service.

He argues that while the initiative from the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection aims to protect women from gender-based harassment, it does not address the systemic root causes of recent rail accidents, which are primarily due to human error and operational failures. Rohidin advocates for a comprehensive audit of the railway system and holistic measures to ensure women's safety without diverting attention from broader safety improvements.
