PARLEMENTARIA, Jakarta – The DPR RI’s Public Aspirations Agency (BAM) will soon submit its conclusions from a public hearing with four civil society groups to the DPR RI leadership. The groups’ demands include calls for proceedings to impeach Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka and an investigation into a wiretapping case.
BAM DPR RI Chair Ahmad Heryawan said the conclusions from the public hearing would be submitted that same day for the DPR RI leadership to consider. He said both issues raised by the public were urgent and needed to be followed up promptly.
“As usual, and in accordance with BAM’s authority, BAM will draw conclusions, and those conclusions will be submitted to the leadership today, because this is very important and concerns matters that need attention now; they can’t wait until next week,” Heryawan said at the DPR RI’s Nusantara Building in Jakarta on Thursday (12/11/2026).
The public hearing included representatives of the Forum Tanah Air (FTA), the National Coalition of Indonesian Women (KNPRI), the Central Board of the Alliance of Defenders and Lovers of the Nation (APP-BANGSA), and the Civil Collective Alliance (AKSI). He explained that BAM’s expert staff and secretariat would promptly prepare the meeting’s findings for submission to the leadership of the House. This would ensure that the aspirations of the four civil society groups were recorded and could be considered by the DPR RI.
In addition to following up on the aspirations it receives, Heryawan also highlighted the need to expand BAM’s authority. At present, BAM’s authority is limited to hearing, receiving, summarizing, and reporting public aspirations.
He hopes that BAM will be authorized in the future to hold hearings with relevant ministries or agencies specifically to discuss issues raised by the public. He said such partnerships could be limited to the particular issues that need to be resolved.
“Going forward, we want BAM to be authorized to summon government agencies and hold hearings with them, whether ministries or other agencies, on specific issues. We would partner with them, not with the institutions in general. We want to be allowed to form partnerships with various ministries and agencies, limited to the issues at hand. Once an issue is resolved, the partnership would end as well,” he concluded. (Ndy/um)
