“Just the beginning. Yes, we ask not to rush,” said Muzani at the parliament complex, Jakarta, Thursday (4/12).
On Tuesday, Muzani met with President Prabowo Subianto at the Presidential Palace, Jakarta.Muzani said the meeting also touched on plans to amend the 1945 Constitution.
“It was briefly touched on. But there has to be a discussion. There’s a little more discussion,” said Muzani.
However, according to Muzani, these discussions were not yet detailed.According to him, the conversation was still just a discussion.
“Yes, yes, it was touched on, but not yet, not yet, not in depth. Yes, we discussed it, in the nature of a discussion,” he said.
The issue of re-implementing GBHN has recently emerged in a new term, namely, Principles of State Policy.
Muzani previously at the MPR annual session, Friday (15/8) said that the MPR study body, supported by the constitutional study commission, had completed the PPHN formulation.
He also invited all elements in Indonesia, from state institutions, academics, to community leaders, to convey their views regarding the discourse on reintroducing PPHN.
“On August 6 2025, in a joint meeting attended by faction leaders and DPD groups, the MPR study body presented the results of the initial PPHN formulation,” said Muzani in his speech at the MPR RI annual session, Friday (15/8).
The discourse on reviving the Outline of State Policy under the name Principles of State Policy is actually not something new.The amendment discourse has been rolling since Jokowi entered his second term of leadership as president or 2019.
The preparation of the PPHN is a recommendation from the MPR for the 2014-2019 period.PPHN is the same as the Outline of State Policy (GBHN) whose function was replaced by Law Number 25 of 2004 concerning the National Development Planning System and Law Number 17 of 2007 concerning the National Long Term Development Plan for 2005 – 2025.
It is said that the PPHN will contain strategic policy directions which will serve as direction for developing sustainable development directions by the government and other state institutions.The PPHN is planned to be included in the 1945 Constitution by first making limited amendments.
This issue has been emerging since the previous period of MPR leadership.The MPR in the previous period, under the leadership of Bambang Soesatyo, had already raised this issue.
Bamsoet claims that the discourse on returning PPHN has gone through in-depth study.
He believes that PPHN can clarify long-term development plans even if governments change.According to him, PPHN makes development sustainable.
However, Bamsoet’s leadership ended.The MPR also stated that it would not amend the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia until the 2024 elections were completed.
Bamsoet said parliament did not want to be accused of trying to extend the president’s term of office again.Thus, there will be no amendments until the election takes place.
“For now, the agreement is that we will discuss it later after the election,” said Bamsoet at the Presidential Palace, Jakarta, Wednesday August 9 2023.
At that time, Bamsoet said that the slanted issue made amendment efforts counterproductive.In fact, the MPR considers that there are a number of regulations in the 1945 Constitution that need to be updated.
