On November 6, 2020, Soekarwo, Member of the Presidential Advisory Council, was invited to be a speaker at the National Synergy Seminar for the Members of the Regional Legislative Councils (DPRD) at the Westin Hotel, Nusa Dua Bali. In the seminar themed “The Position of DPRD Members as Regional Officials in the Current Government System”, Soekarwo said that DPRDs either from provincial, regional, or municipal level, were directly elected and received a mandate from the local people. They bring the aspirations and representatives of the local people. Putting the DPRD’s function into a quasi-executive is against the 1945 Constitution. Therefore, Soekarwo asserted the need for consistency in emphasizing the purity of the implementation of constitutional law according to the 1945 Constitution. (AD).
