Jakarta (B2B) - Partai Demokrasi Indonesia Perjuangan (PDIP) menilai hak angket yang akan diajukan anggota DPR kepada Menteri Hukum dan HAM, Yasona Laoly, tidak tepat.
"Hak angket untuk Pak Yasona adalah tidak tepat karena hak itu untuk penyelidikan terhadap hal strategis terkait hajat hidup orang banyak," kata Pelaksana Tugas Sekretaris Jenderal PDI Perjuangan, Hasto Kristiyanto kepada pers di Jakarta, Rabu.
Laoly berada dalam Kabinet Kerja pimpinan Presiden Joko Widodo atas masukan dari PDI Perjuangan.
Dia menegaskan, hak angket itu harus digunakan secara hati-hati karena kebijakan yang diambil Laoly sudah melalui mekanisme internal partai.
Hasto meyakini Laoly paham mengenai UU Parpol yang mengamanatkan bahwa sengketa terkait kepengurusan diselesaikan melalui Mahkamah Partai.
"Mahkamah Partai dalam amar putusannya yang telah ditandatangani hakim Muladi menyebutkan secara jelas menetapkan Golkar di bawah kepemimpinan Agung Laksono," ujarnya.
Hasto menegaskan PDIP sebagai kekuatan penopang utama pemerintahan akan mendukung tiap kebijakan yang dikeluarkan pemerintah seperti keputusan Laoly yang mengesahkan kepengurusan Agung Laksono.
Dia mengatakan, PDIP akan mengadvokasi secara politik kebijakan Laoly di parlemen karena keputusan Laoly melaksanakan UU.
"Kami sebagai parpol yang memegang teguh konstitusi, ketika pemerintah bertindak atas nama UU maka kami akan mendukung penuh," ujarnya.
Dia menegaskan jangan sampai dinamika internal partai menggunakan kelembagaan DPR sebagai kepanjangan tangan diperluasnya persoalan partai itu.
Hasto berharap persoalan internal Golkar dapat diselesaikan secara internal tanpa melibatkan pihak lain. (Ant)
Jakarta (B2B) - The Indonesia Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) has opposed an idea to invoke a parliamentary right to initiate an investigation against Justice Minister Yasona Laoly for his decision related to the Golkar Party.
"It will not be correct to apply the right to investigate Pak (Mr) Yasona because the right is reserved for investigating strategic issues affecting the majority of people," PDIPs acting secretary-general Hasto Kristiyanto told newsmen here on Wednesday.
According to him, the right should be exercised carefully because the Minister of Justice made his decision through a proper internal party mechanism.
He noted that the Justice Minister must have been aware of the law on political parties that states that conflicts over party leadership must be settled through party tribunals.
"In this case, the party tribunal, in its verdict signed by Chief Judge Muladi, clearly confirmed Agung Laksonos leadership of the Golkar Party," he explained.
Hasto remarked that the PDIP, as the main supporter of the current government, will back every policy taken by the government, including the one by the Minister of Justice confirming Agung Laksonos leadership.
He stressed that the PDIP will advocate the Justice Ministers policy in parliament because the minister has followed the law.
"As a political party, we will firmly uphold the constitution and give full support to the government as long as it acts in accordance with the law," he added.
