Khopiatuziadah said that the demand for the DPR RI as a representative body to move and focus on internal reforms to strengthen the legislative function and other functions optimally was indeed quite high because the power of parliament was not only in the members of the council.
Board members needed a support system to optimize the implementation of three board functions, namely legislation, supervision and budget. "For example, the function of legislation was the creation of laws, legislation Planner and research," he said.
"So, researchers from universities are needed to be involved in carrying out the legislative function. All the designs of the support system are arranged in the academic Paper of RUU of the Representative Institution Supporting System, "explained Khopiatuzaidah, who was accompanied by four experts who were members of the team.
The concept test for Academic Paper and the RUU was attended by a number of FISIP UMM expert lecturers from various fields of expertise. Governmental science expert of FISIP UMM, Dr.Tri Sulistyaningsih, M.Si believed that the ratification of this RUU was indeed necessary but it needed to be made as simple as possible so that it was not overfat for Government.
Tri Sulistyaningsih also suggested that recruitment of human resources in the Representative Institution Support System had to be applied to the selection or standardization standard. "The council is political organizations, not career organizations. Therefore, in terms of HR recruitment, standardization needs to be done, "said Tri, who was also an assessor of BAN-PT.
Tri Sulis's opinion completed the recommendations of UMM FISIP communication expert, Dr. Frida Kusumastuti, M.Sc. Frida also revealed the importance of certification for experts who would be recruited in the Representative Institution Support System. The concept test was held for 3 days, 9-11 September 2019.
In terms of the content of the academic paper, a sociologist from FISIP UMM, Dr. Wahyudi, M.Si criticized the content of academic texts which did not yet accommodate the area of public communication. Five areas that had been carried out in the Representative Institution Support System RUU were already good but there were things that had been added, namely the area of public communication.
"The legislature must have a comprehensive forum for conducting the functions of public spaces in society. There are many misunderstandings in the community about the image DPR which has not been resolved. With this law, I hope that the function of public communication will be stronger, "explained Wahyudi who was a lecturer in Political Sociology. (win)
