Presidential Decree on Jampidsus Kuntadi to be Issued This Week

Minister of State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi has confirmed that the Presidential Decree appointing Kuntadi as the Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes will be issued this week. “God willing, we will complete the process this week,” Prasetyo said after a meeting at the House of Representatives on Monday (20/7). “It will be finished in the next few days, and there will certainly be a Presidential Decree which we will convey to the public.” Prasetyo previously confirmed he had received the proposal for Kuntadi’s appointment to replace Febrie Adriansyah, who has resigned and is currently entangled in legal proceedings. Kuntadi currently serves as the Head of the Asset Recovery Agency at the Attorney General’s Office. Prasetyo explained that Kuntadi, along with several other names proposed by the Attorney General, will undergo an assessment by the Final Assessment Team. “There is a final assessment team, as has been the mechanism. Because the letter only came in yesterday, we ask for time; perhaps today we will immediately follow up on the Attorney General’s proposal,” he said.
