DPR's Dasco: Asset Forfeiture Bill Progresses with Public Consultation

Wakil Ketua DPR RI Sufmi Dasco Ahmad has stated that the deliberation of the Asset Forfeiture Bill is ongoing in the House of Representatives. He noted that Commission III is currently soliciting extensive public input regarding the draft regulation. “The Asset Forfeiture Bill is currently in process at the DPR, and the technical commission, Commission III, is currently discussing it and is now requesting a great deal of public participation,” Dasco said at the parliament complex in Jakarta on Friday. Dasco noted the high level of public enthusiasm for providing input on the bill. Consequently, during the recess period, Commission III continued to invite various community groups to provide their feedback. “There is a lot of interest from community groups, organisations, professions, and individuals who want to give their input. So yesterday, Commission III, even during the recess, continued to discuss public participation for the Asset Forfeiture Bill,” he said. Dasco added that he would request a report from Commission III on the progress of the bill’s deliberation. “We will evaluate how far it has progressed, and then we will discuss the procedures and other technical matters related to the Asset Forfeiture Bill that is currently being processed,” he stated. Deputy Speaker Saan Mustopa previously said the Asset Forfeiture Bill is targeted for completion this year as it is included in the 2026 Priority National Legislation Programme. However, Saan confirmed the DPR’s commitment to ensuring the deliberation process involves broad public participation.
