"During the Legislative Body meeting on February 3, 2025, an intensive discussion took place, and a brief factional perspective on the draft regulation of the People's Consultative Assembly of the Republic of Indonesia regarding amendments to Regulation Number 1 of 2020 concerning the Rules of Procedure was read, indicating the approval of all factions for the proposed changes to the Rules of Procedure," stated Sturman Panjaitan, Deputy Chairman of the Legislative Body, during the 12th plenary session of the second session of the 2024-2025 legislative year in the plenary room, Senayan, Central Jakarta, on Tuesday, February 4, 2025.
