Two MPR Quiz Competition Judges Sued, Ahmad Muzani Responds
Jakarta – MPR RI Chairman Ahmad Muzani has commented on the lawsuit against two judges in the Four Pillars quiz competition at the West Kalimantan level. He admitted that he has not yet been fully informed about the lawsuit.
“I haven’t heard about it,” said Ahmad Muzani during a press conference at the Parliamentary Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on Wednesday, 13 May 2026.
On the same occasion, the Acting Secretary General of the MPR, Siti Fauziah, stated that they had only recently received information regarding the lawsuit. However, she would promptly study the lawsuit in more detail.
“We’ve just been informed, so we will examine it first,” said Siti Fauziah.
On the other hand, MPR RI is also open to the possibility of imposing administrative sanctions on the two judges.
According to Fauziah, the decision regarding sanctions will still be coordinated with the Ministry of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform (PAN-RB) and the National Civil Service Agency (BKN) because the two judges hold the status of civil servants (ASN).
“We only communicated with the MPR leadership today, so we will look at the applicable regulations from BKN. Whether there are elements that relate to the existing rules at BKN,” she said.
