Member of Commission III, Yahdil Harahap in the trial of judicial Election Law on the Constitutional Court, by expressly stating that the decision of the Board of Election Honor or DKPP which are final and binding, in accordance with the provisions of applicable law and norms.

 

It is closely related to the existence of an institution that DKPP in charge of infringing on Election code of conduct and a union election function. Parliament has consistently argued DKPP not a separate organization itself, rather than part of the Commission and not also part of the Election Supervisory Body, and thus all three can run and control the functions of offset each other internally, to produce a good election. "So that every decision should be final and binding," said Yahdil when met after the evidentiary hearing was also attended by the government on Wednesday morning (28/5).

 

He further added, Ramdansyah’s argument, former chairman of the Supervisory Committee of Jakarta as the applicant who deny the existence of DKPP which is not a judicial body, but has the authority to issue a decision that is final and binding, he thinks it is something that is inappropriate and unfounded. As a state legislator institution along with the President, the House of Representatives in this case are fully entitled to give authority to any state agency, including DKPP which is a quasi-judicial agency, which has the right of internally court, to issue a binding decision. "So in this case, not just punish people and organizations, but also improve the disability process or remedy the process, as was done by the court" quasi judicial "in general," Yahdil said.

 

Recommendations only

 

Ramdansyah presents the trial directly without legal counsel present one witnesses the facts, Deni Iskandar and 1 experts, Suparji who both agreed that it should DKPP can only issue a verdict in the form of recommendations. Deni, an activist during Ramdan colleague who is also a former member of the winning campaign team mate Joko Widodo - Basuki Tjahaya Purnama, questioning attitude is considered too excessive DKPP the dismissal ruling against Ramdansyah.

 

 

"At that time we just report the Chairman of the Election Commission of DKI Jakarta, Dahlia Umar to DKPP related to bawdy of voter list, and decisions DKPP just a stern warning, but why on Ramdansyah should be a dismissal," said Deni before the judges. According to him, the agency guards the integrity and code of conduct of election, DKPP can only issue recommendations related to ethics violations, and inappropriate to issue a final decision and remember. "This is an inappropriate action against the organizers of the elections that have been doing a good job, "said Dean ended his statement. (Juliette / mh)
