Marguerite Afra Sapiie, Jakarta – Coordinating Political, Legal and Security Affairs Minister Wiranto has promised that the law reform package the government will soon introduce will accommodate the public interest and will recover people's trust in Indonesia's legal system.
He said the package would address loopholes in the current law enforcement system covering legal instruments, law enforcers and legal cultures.
"It aims to make our people fully trust and believe that Indonesia's justice system can guarantee public order, security and legal accountability for all of the country's citizens," Wiranto told journalists on Wednesday.
He further said officials, including government officers, police personnel and prosecutors, were currently drafting the package.
Wiranto said the drafting team had prioritized pressing issues within the country's legal system that needed to be immediately addressed, including internal and external reforms in several state institutions.
The minister refused to disclose further details on key points in the package, except to hint that the national law revitalization draft might be completed by next week. (ebf)
