Nevertheless, Mahfud MD ensures that the entire text of the Bill of Assets Confiscation has been completed.
Even for the typing part where typos or typos have been confirmed to be corrected.
"Because if all the substance of the draft bill has been completed, the typos have also been combed through," he said.
Regarding this matter, Mahfud MD ensures that in the near future President Jokowi will issue a presidential letter (Surpres) to the DPR RI to follow up on the bill.
"Hopefully it won't be long after Eid will put it in the first week that the press release has been sent," said Mahfud MD.
Previously, Mahfud MD ensured that the government communicated with political party leaders regarding the asset confiscation bill.
Mahfud said the communication established by the government with political party leaders was carried out both officially and unofficially.
"In terms of communication with political party leaders, we are sure. We definitely communicate with each other. Both through open media and meeting, both official and unofficial. That is a must in a democratic country. We are working on it," said Mahfud during a press conference at the office of the Indonesian Ministry of Political, Legal and Security Affairs, Central Jakarta, Friday (14/4/2023).
From this communication, Mahfud captured a positive impression from the political party leadership.
He assessed that political party leaders also want the asset confiscation bill to be submitted to the DPR immediately.
Not only that, he also assessed that the DPR also wants the same thing regarding the asset confiscation bill.
"But it seems that everyone wants the asset confiscation bill to reach the DPR both the political parties and the government as well as the DPR. The political parties have asked to submit it immediately, the DPR too," said Mahfud.
