“We didn’t discuss that at the meeting earlier. “But we will discuss it with partners,” stressed Willy, at the parliament building, Senayan, Jakarta, Wednesday (23/10).
“So let the laws both have the same tone, the same frequency, the same work requirements,” he said.
Willy emphasized that his party at Commission XIII could not fight one-handed. So, he said he would confirm whether the Asset Confiscation Bill would be continued next week or not.
“God willing, we will confirm next week,” said Willy. (Ykb)

Interview with Bob, Chairman of the Commission on Legislative Affairs
Editor: Welcome, Bob. Thank you for joining us today. We understand there’s been some anticipation surrounding the asset confiscation bill. Can you tell us what the current status is?
Bob: Thank you for having me. Currently, the asset confiscation bill has not been officially discussed by the Legislative Body. We are in the early stages of considering the implications and logistics surrounding the bill.
Editor: What are some of the key points that need to be addressed before the bill can move forward?
Bob: There are several critical factors we need to consider. First, we must evaluate the legal framework surrounding asset confiscation to ensure it aligns with existing laws. Additionally, we need to address concerns regarding potential abuses of power and the protection of individual rights.
Editor: With potential pushback from various stakeholders, how do you plan on ensuring a balanced discussion?
Bob: Engaging with stakeholders is crucial. We plan to hold consultations with legal experts, civil society organizations, and community representatives to gather diverse perspectives. This will allow us to craft a bill that is fair and effective.
Editor: What is your hope for the timeline regarding the bill’s discussion and potential passage?
Bob: While I cannot provide a specific timeline, I hope that we can begin the discussions within the next few months. Our goal is to have a thorough review process that allows for input from all relevant parties before we make any decisions.
Editor: Thank you, Bob, for sharing these insights with us. We look forward to seeing how this bill evolves in the coming months.
Bob: Thank you for the opportunity to discuss this important issue.
Bob: One of the key points is ensuring that the language and framework of the bill are fully aligned with existing laws. It’s crucial that all involved parties, including our partners, share the same vision and objectives to facilitate smooth implementation if it proceeds. We also need to establish clear definitions regarding what constitutes an asset for confiscation and outline the legal processes involved.
Editor: You mentioned discussing the bill with partners. Who are these partners, and why is their input important?
Bob: The partners include various stakeholders such as government officials, legal experts, and representatives from civil society organizations. Their insights are vital because they bring different perspectives and expertise that can help ensure the bill’s effectiveness and fairness. It’s important that we forge a consensus before moving ahead.
Editor: Is there a timeline for when the discussions will take place, and when can we expect a decision on the bill?
Bob: We plan to start those discussions next week. This timeline is important as we hope to confirm whether the asset confiscation bill will proceed or be shelved for further consideration. We are committed to making decisions that benefit our legislative agenda while also being transparent and inclusive of stakeholder input.
Editor: Thank you for your insights, Bob. We look forward to seeing how this unfolds in the coming weeks.
Bob: Thank you for having me. It’s crucial for us to engage the public and stakeholders throughout this process.
