DPR Affirms Commitment to Support Anti-Corruption Through Asset Forfeiture Bill

Deputy Speaker of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) Saan Mustopa has denied the narrative that the DPR rejects the deliberation of the Asset Forfeiture Bill. Saan affirmed that the DPR remains committed to supporting the corruption eradication agenda, which forms part of President Prabowo Subianto’s Asta Cita.

“We need to convey that the issue circulating in society is untrue, that the DPR rejects the deliberation of the Asset Forfeiture Bill,” said Saan at the DPR building in Senayan, Jakarta, on Tuesday (14/7/2026).

Saan also denied reports of a rift between the government and the DPR regarding the deliberation of the Asset Forfeiture Bill. He emphasised that the bill is in line with the government’s agenda.

“Yes, it is still ongoing, continuously. We remain committed, and we also want to strengthen the government’s commitment regarding efforts to eradicate corruption,” he said.

Saan said the deliberation of the Asset Forfeiture Bill is currently still under way in Commission III of the DPR. As part of the process, Commission III has been inviting activists and university students to hear their input.

“To this day, the DPR continues its deliberation of the Asset Forfeiture Bill, particularly in Commission III, through various public consultation meetings (RDPU) and public hearings conducted by Commission III of the DPR RI regarding input from various parties, especially stakeholders related to the bill,” he explained.

“For instance, yesterday Commission III held an RDPU with Peradi and others. So, once again, the Asset Forfeiture Bill is in the process of deliberation at the DPR through Commission III, and it is also included in the 2026 Priority National Legislation Programme (Prolegnas),” he added.
