Jakarta (Antara Babel) - Secretary of the Golkar Party faction in the House of Representatives (DPR) Bambang Soesatyo has stated the creation of a shadow DPR leadership shows that the Great Indonesia Coalition (KIH) is not prepared for defeat and change.
"The maneuver to form a shadow DPR leadership not only disrupts the DPR's work rhythm but also reflects the KIH's refusal of executive-legislative equality, the lack of maturity in politics and democracy and even the wish to control every thing," Bambang said in a press statement released on Sunday.
To combat corrupt behavior on the part of irresponsible bureaucrats and create good and clean governance, executive-legislative equality is a must, he said.
Therefore, to carry out its supervision tasks effectively, the DPR must no longer be under the influence of the government, he said.
He said the Red-and-White Coalition (KMP)'s spirit to create executive-legislative equality has received resistance from the KIH.
By creating a shadow DPR leadership, the KIH does not want the DPR to supervise the government effectively, he said.
The current map of strength in the DPR is quite ideal to create executive-legislative equality, he said.
In the presidential government system, a strong legislative body is needed to supervise the government effectively, he said.
Arief Wibowo of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), Victor Laiskodat of the National Democratic (NasDem) Party, Syaifullah of the United Development Party (PPP), and several other representatives of the Great Indonesia Coalition have created a shadow DPR leadership.
Pramono Anung is the chairman of this shadow leadership, and Abdul Kadir Karding, Syaifullah Tamliha, Patrice Rio Capella and Dossy Iskandar are the deputy chairmen.
DPR Chairman Setya Novanto said in East Nusa Tenggara province late last month he has no problem with the KIH's plan to inaugurate a shadow DPR leadership, following its landslide defeat in the election of House Commission chiefs.
"We will have no problem if a shadow DPR leadership is inaugurated. The existing DPR leadership was elected based on the Legislative Institution (MD3) Law and rules of conduct," he said.
Novanto further stated that as the current DPR chairman, he had no objections to the other coalition inaugurating a shadow DPR leadership.
Under these current circumstances, he noted that the DPR leadership gives adequate opportunities to the public to evaluate them.
