Background
Menko Bidang Hukum, HAM, Imigrasi, dan Pemasyarakatan, Yusril Ihza Mahendra, has addressed the proposal to establish a joint fact-finding team (TGPF) to investigate recent unrest in several regions. Yusril emphasized that while the formation of TGPF requires time, current investigative processes are already effective and timely.
Key Facts
Yusril stated, “The establishment of TGPF still needs time, assembling the right people, and waiting for them to gather facts. However, the facts are already clear, legal steps have been taken, and the process is ongoing.” This was during his remarks to journalists at the Presidential Palace complex in Jakarta on Thursday (11/9/2025).
He further explained that it is more efficient for law enforcement agencies to handle the investigations. Yusril added that TGPF could be formed only if the government is deemed ineffective in addressing the incidents.
Impact
Yusril’s stance highlights the government’s confidence in the current investigative mechanisms. This decision may influence public perception regarding the necessity of external fact-finding bodies in handling similar cases in the future.
