House Passes Criminal Code Bill Despite Widespread Rejections

6 December 2022 13:15 WIB

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The House of Representatives (DPR) on Tuesday, December 6th, officially passed the Criminal Code Bill (RKUHP) into law in the 11th plenary today, which was led by Deputy Speaker Sufmi Dasco Ahmad. 

Prior to the passing of the Bill, which has been met with many rejections from activists and the general public alike, Commission III DPR Speaker Bambang Wuryanto said that the formulation of the Bill is a carryover from the previous House term meant to decolonize, consolidate, and harmonize the Criminal Code. 

“The Criminal Code Bill is a recodification attempt and open to all criminal provisions and responding to all developments in today's society,” said Bambang.

He claims the discussions regarding the formulation of the RKUHP had been done transparently and carefully, especially across a number of provisions that are deemed controversial. 

According to him, the existence of the RKUHP is important to reform the law in line with national development goals and to realize the creation of a just and prosperous society.

The Criminal Code Reform Alliance held an action against the ratification of the RKUHP in front of the DPR headquarters on Monday, December 5 asserting that the Bill still contains a number of provisions that are too open to interpretation that have the potential to harm society. The alliance is once again holding a demonstration at the DPR HQ on Tuesday, carrying the theme.

Meanwhile, the Minister of Law and Human Rights, Yasonna Laoly, suggested that people who have different opinions or are not satisfied with the RKUHP may file a lawsuit with the Constitutional Court (MK).
