AKARTA: The Judicial Commission is demanding the House of Representatives revise the 2004 Judicial Commission Law to strengthen its mission in monitoring judges.
“We will talk to the House of Representatives to assure that it deliberate the revision of the 2004 Judicial Commission Law which will give the Commission authority to monitor judges,” Judicial Commission chairman Eman Suparman told reporters Monday after a meeting with the Constitutional Court chief justice Mahfud MD in his office.
The Judicial Commission and the Constitutional Court justices discussed the Commission’s authority to monitor judges and justices.
In 2006, the commission became practically toothless when the Constitutional Court dropped articles that gave the commission the power to supervise judges, including supreme justices and Constitutional justices. — JP
