Jakarta –
The Honorary Council of the Constitutional Court (MKMK) has examined three judges Constitutional Court regarding alleged ethical violations. MKMK Chairman Jimly Asshiddiqie said there were three types of sanctions that could be given to constitutional judges if they were proven to have violated ethics.
“In the PMK it is clear that there are three types (of sanctions), reprimand, warning, dismissal. Dismissal is explicitly called dishonorable dismissal, but there is also honorable dismissal, there is also dismissal not as a member but as chairman,” said Jimly to journalists at the Constitutional Court Building, Central Jakarta, Tuesday (31/10/2023).
“Then warnings, there can be many variations. Normal warnings, they can also be strong warnings, they can also be very strong warnings. So it’s not specified in the PMK but variations are possible,” he continued.

Jimly said the lightest sanction was a warning. However, his party will later determine the sanctions that the Constitutional Court judges will receive.
“At the lightest, it’s a warning. A verbal warning, a written warning. So a warning, a warning, a dismissal. You’ll have to wait for the variations later. So that will be MKMK’s creativity. I wonder how good it is,” he concluded.
Known Constitutional Court (MK) Judges Sale Isra, Manahan MP Sitompul, and Suhartoyo will be questioned by the MKMK regarding reports of alleged ethical violations behind the decision on the conditions for the presidential and vice presidential candidates on Wednesday (1/11). This was stated by the Chairman of the MKMK, Jimly Asshiddiqie, after holding a closed meeting with 3 MK Judges.
“There are three judges. One Mr. Saldi Isra, two Mr. Manahan, three Mr. Suhartoyo. The other three the day after tomorrow. Be patient,” he said.
Jimly said that his party would hold a hearing to examine the complainants first before examining Saldi Isra, Manahan and Suhartoyo.
“While we are completing the open trial to hear the statements of the complainants, the closed trial will be heard by the judges,” he said.
“Lastly, we will confront another clerk because there are many problems in the way decisions are made and trial procedures regarding how to work in making decisions,” he added.
