THE RIGHT OF THE NATIONAL PARLIAMENT AS THE FORM OF KPK INTRODUCTION THIS IS THE WORST POLITICAL CRUELTY
In the political review of the use of the Parliament's Rights to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is unique and interesting to be studied but legally, this act is heinous and embarrassing because it shows the DPR's lack of understanding of the Law and the absence of the DPR in the graft of corruption. The public may judge that the questionnaire is not a matter of violation of the law but the weakening of the KPK institution.
The history of the existence of the right to inquiry in Indonesia, both in parliamentary and presidential systems, has not changed much in the corridor of supervision over the executive law which is different from the ordinary supervision inherent in the DPR, it is not appropriate if the DPR's questionnaire is used by the enforcement agencies Laws such as KPK or prosecutor's office.
In the explanation of Law Number 17 Year 2014 on MPR, DPR, DPD, and DPRD (Act of MD3) Article 79 Paragraph (3) that the right of inquiry is the right of DPR to conduct an investigation on the implementation of a law and / or government policy related to Important, strategic, and broad impact on the life of society, nation and state that allegedly contrary to the laws and regulations. The question arises whether the Commission as an executive body (implementing law) or as law enforcement? And what if the KPK commits a violation, can the House intervene? Obviously not, the KPK is an independent institution (law enforcement) established by the state with special authority to eradicate corruption, its authority can not be intervened by the DPR, as well as in case of violation by the KPK, the DPR can not intervene but has the right to report to the Police or the prosecutor's office.
Then what about the DPR questionnaire for the KPK? The author's analysis of this form of weakening to the KPK is not a legal case but a political case, in the process of formulating the law, which should be agreed upon by all factions, in fact there are still reject fractions such as Gerinda and PKS, this right is also a political interest fiber because it appears when the KPK Dismantled the case of E-KTP that allegedly involved the leadership and several members of the House and the desire of the House to play the recording of Miriam's examination. The situation is heating up when the KPK does not want to grant the wishes of the House of Representatives by reason of legal disability, consequently the threat of DPR also emerged from the start of the suspension of KPK budget, discourse dissolution KPK to dismantle the process of examination of corruptors who have been convicted.
Corruption as a serious threat to democracy in Indonesia, is growing massively on the executive, legislative, judicial and private sectors as the Supreme Court Data reported by CNN Indonesia that there is an increasing number of corruption cases in the Supreme Court. Recorded throughout 2016 there were 14,564 cases entered. This number increased compared to 2015, ie 13,977 cases. Corruption cases not only ensnare officials but also court officials. During 2016, there were at least 13 judicial officers ranging from judges, clerks, to court staff allegedly involved in bribery. While ICW data published by the corruption case in the first semester of 2016, ICW recorded 210 corruption cases being investigated by KPK, police and prosecutor with 500 suspects.
So the authors judge when the country is in an emergency situation of corruption, the establishment of the right of the House of Representatives to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) as a form of public duping that does not educate the public and reflects the alignment of the culture of corruption, in fact this questionnaire was revoked. The House of Representatives as a people's tongue should be able to use the right questionnaire on more priority and strategic issues such as problems of Natural Resources Utilization for the community, Century corruption, sane source corruption, reclamation or national resilience issues, public welfare, and others instead of weakening KPK , Realize that corruptors are not worth protecting, and corruption must be fought, that is a true commitment built parlement instead of attacking in a way that is not dignified.
