"The Draft Criminal Code has been socialized to all stakeholders throughout Indonesia. On behalf of the Government of the Republic of Indonesia and my colleagues in the House of Representatives, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the entire community for their participation and support in this historic moment," said Minister Yasonna.
However, Yasonna admitted that the drafting of the Criminal Procedure Code has not gone smoothly. Both the government and the House of Representatives have been confronted with news that are considered controversial, including articles on the criminalization of kebo law, insulting the president, the dissemination of prohibited communist doctrines, and others. However, Yasonna assured the public that these articles were the subject of repeated and thorough studies.
In addition, Yasonna requested that parties who disagree with any part of the contents of the new Criminal Code, can submit it through the process of filing a petition to the Constitutional Court (MK) along with reasonable reasons.
