JAKARTA - A legislator from an opposition party has expressed support for a former minister`s request at the Constitutional Court (MK) for a judicial review of a newly approved clause in the Law on the 2012 Revised State Budget.
"We support former minister Yusril Ihza Mahendra`s move to file a judicial review at the MK because the clause is a violation of the 1945 Constitution," Rieke Dyah Pitaloka, a legislator from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP), said here on Monday.
She noted that she supported the former minister`s action, not because she and her colleagues were members of the opposition party, but because the regulation runs contrary to the Constitution. Dyah hoped that the judicial review would be able to return the state budget to its original principle.
The House of Representatives (DPR), in its plenary session on March 30, voted to insert a 6a clause in Article 7 of the 2012 Revised Budget that gave the government the authority to make a price adjustment, or price increase, if the Indonesian Crude Price (ICP) increased or dropped by 15 percent from the assumed price in the state budget during the current six months.
Former finance minister Fuad Bawazier also supported Yusril`s attempt to review the law at the Constitutional Court. Fuad even expected non-governmental organizations and other social organizations to support Yusril`s step to file a lawsuit at the MK over the new ruling.
Yusril, who is also former minister for legal and human rights affairs, said Article 7 cause 6a of the Law on the 2012 Revised Stage Budget was in opposition to clause 28d of Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution. He said the article could be canceled, materially and formally, by the Constitutional Court.
