jpnn.comJAKARTA – The riot incident in the courtroom involving lawyers Razman Arif Nasution and Firdaus Oiwobo drew criticism from various parties, including members of the House of Representatives Commission III, Nasir Djamil. According to him, the incident showed that the court had lost his authority and increasingly urged the need for regulations regarding the contempt of court.
Nasir Djamil assessed that the actions of Firdaus Oiwobo who climbed to the court table as a form of harassment of the judiciary. He asserted that events like this should be prevented if there are special laws governing insults to the court or contempt of court.
“That contempt of court. There should be a law. We have long asked the Supreme Court to take the initiative so that the contempt of court can be made in the form of laws, not just articles in our Criminal Procedure Law or KUHP, “Nasir Djamil said.
Furthermore, he highlighted the phenomenon of the increasingly weak court due to inappropriate actions in the courtroom. According to him, this case reflects the court begins to be treated like ordinary offices that are no longer respected as judicial institutions.
“The case involving several lawyers who up the table shows that the court has no authority anymore. They consider courts like ordinary offices. This must be a serious concern,” he said.
In addition to highlighting events in the courtroom, Nasir Djamil also alluded to the issue of the integrity of the advocate profession. He considered that the increasing number of advocate organizations authorized to inaugurate new advocates had an impact on the quality and credibility of this profession.
“In the past Peradi was the only one who could conduct an advocate exam. Now there are many advocate organizations, such as Ikadin and others. This does facilitate administration, but on the other hand it has an impact on the integrity and quality of advocates,” he explained.
According to Nasir, divisions in the world of advocates and the variety of organizations that overshadow this profession make competency and ethical standards increasingly difficult to maintain. He considered that regulations regarding advocate organizations are still unclear and need to be discussed again so that the quality of advocates can be more guaranteed.
