BALEG DPR CANCES THE AUTHORITY OF BPIP THE PANCASILA index to the institution

Jakarta – The Indonesian Parliament’s Legislation Agency (Baleg) has agreed to cancel the authority of the Pancasila Ideology Development Agency (BPIP) to assess the Pancasila Idological Development Index against the state organizers in the BPIP bill. Baleg assessed that the BPIP by -law was able to assess any institution related to the implementation of Pancasila. It was transferred by Deputy Chairman of the Indonesian Parliament Baleg Ahmad Iman Sucri at the DPR Baleg meeting discussed the BPIP bill in the parliamentary complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Monday (9/29/2025). Iman said that the point became a discussion highlighted at the Working Committee meeting (Panja). “Then the alternative chapter of Chapter IV Article 12 emerged, in my opinion it was more moderate, so it was not an index, but monitoring and evaluation,” Iman said. Browse to continue with the initial content, Article 12 paragraph 1 of the BPIP bill displayed at the Baleg meeting, reads: “BPIP each year makes an assessment of the index results of the Pancasila ideology development on state administrators, legal persons, businesses and society”. However, the point has changed to: “BPIP does monitoring and evaluating the development of the Pancasila ideology organized by state organizers, legal entities, businesses and communities.” According to him, the elimination of BPIP’s rate of authority to assess the Pancasila index of other institutions is performed so that BPIP does not become an instrument of power. He said the BPIP also received the elimination of the government discourse. Iman said the DPR Baleg included the proposal in the bill, so BPIP became an institution at the ministry level. In particular, those who live and responsible for the president. “Yesterday there was a proposal from Prof. Jimly, so that this BPIP function was strongly represented, so that the ministerial level,” he said. On the same occasion, the member of the Indonesian Parliament Baleg Hinca Panjaitan assessed that the index assessment has the potential to cause high problems when performed. Nevertheless, Hinca claims that he agrees that this was done more openly through monitoring and evaluation (Monev). “So this Monev is the proposal, the vehicle is our thoughts, and that’s what we formulate in this law,” Hinca said. Hinca then suggested that the content of the implementation of monitoring and evaluation was submitted to BPIP. This, according to him, to keep up with the times. “And later when we meet with BPIP, it’s easy for us to have dialogue and supervision all the time,” he said. (AMW/EVA)
