The House of Representatives is aiming to pass a long-delayed asset forfeiture bill by the end of this year, as lawmakers plan to intensify consultations with civil groups and legal experts on legislation seen as a potential tool in the fight against corruption.Habiburokhman, chairman of House Commission III overseeing legal affairs, said lawmakers hoped to complete deliberations and pass the bill within two legislative sessions by December at the latest.
“We are determined to ensure that this law can further maximize efforts to eradicate corruption,” Habiburokhman, a politician from President Prabowo Subianto’s Gerindra Party, said in a press release on Tuesday.
The House law commission has resumed the discussion of the bill this sitting period, which began last Friday, and plans to hold public hearings two to three times a week to gather input from civil groups and legal experts.
