The House of Representatives (DPR) Law Commission must be transparent in its selection of the new Constitutional Court (MK) judge. Constitutional Court judge Arief Hidayat, who is also the chief justice of the court, is within his rights to put his name forward again. But Arief, whose term of office ends next April, should stand for selection alongside other candidates. The DPR gives the impression of not striving to find the best candidates for the MK. The fit-and-proper test of four candidates was scheduled for the end of November, but was cancelled after a fuss in the mass media. The DPR had previously not opened applications to other candidates, and suddenly it emerged that the legislature intended to test the suitability of Arief Hidayat, as the sole candidate. The reselection of Arief also has the potential to be part of a deal. At present, the MK is examining the law that is the legal basis for the DPR establishing a Committee of Inquiry to investigate the record of the KPK. The public may very well suspect that as Constitutional Court chief justice, Arief could issue a ruling that will favor the DPR in exchange for a second term in office.
