Jakarta (B2B) - Pengacara senior, Adnan Buyung Nasution meminta seluruh hakim Mahkamah Konstitusi mengundurkan diri (MK) dari jabatannya, sebagai bentuk tanggung jawab moral atas kasus dugaan suap yang menimpa Ketua MK, Akil Mochtar.
"Meskipun satu orang yang berbuat tapi hal ini membawa nama baik dan kehormatan institusi, saya anjurkan seluruh hakim MK mengundurkan diri segera," kata Adnan Buyung Nasution kepada pers di komplek parlemen Senayan Jakarta, Senin (7/10).

"Kalau ada permainan uang barulah dikoreksi putusannya dan hakimnya dicopot lalu menjalani proses hukum," ungkap Buyung.
