Indonesian Parliament Urges Parties to Deactivate Problematicโ Members
Jakarta,August 31,2025 – The Honorary โคCourt of the Indonesian Parliament (MKD) is calling on chairpersons โof political parties to swiftly โคdeactivate members of the DPR โฃ(People’s Representative Council) facing issues,a move intended to upholdโค the integrity of the legislative body. MKD Chairperson Nazaruddin Dek โGam emphasized the importance of removing problematic members to safeguard the reputation โof the parliament.
The โขcall for deactivation comes as โthe MKD โseeks to hold DPR members accountable for misconduct and โmaintain public trust. according โฃto Nazaruddin, deactivation isโค not merely symbolic; membersโ stripped of their status willโฃ lose allโค associated parliamentary โfacilities and benefits. “If it has been deactivated, it means they can no longer move as members ofโ the DPR,” Nazaruddin told reporters.”By deactivated, they automatically cannot get facilities or benefits as membersโค of the Indonesian Parliament.”
Nazaruddin stressed thatโข the MKD will continue to push for firm action from political parties.He warned that a lack of response could lead to public perception that the DPR is not serious about maintaining its honor. “If there isโข no step from political parties, the publicโค can judge this DPR this is not serious about maintaining its honor,” โhe stated.The move underscores a growing concern withinโ the Indonesian Parliament to address issues of ethics and accountabilityโ among its members. The MKD’s requestโ signalsโค a desire to โempower politicalโฃ parties โขto take greater responsibilityโค for the conduct of their representatives andโค ensure the DPR operates with integrity.
