For more information, please see www.dt-global.com About the Engagement The primary objective of this service is to produce a comprehensive analytical study and strategic policy report on optimising provisions within the new Criminal Code (KUHP) and Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) to support the national priority program on the Transformation of the Prosecution System (Transformasi Sistem Penuntutan), ensuring full alignment with the targets of the National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN 2025-2029). Specifically, the selected organisation is expected to: Review and evaluate the existing framework of prosecution policies and the legal definition and operational scope of case management/control (pengendalian perkara) within the new KUHP and KUHAP, benchmarking against the priority goals of the RPJMN 2025-2029. Pinpoint and systematically analyse statutory gaps, institutional challenges, procedural vulnerabilities, and regulatory conflicts arising from specific provisions in the new KUHAP and KUHP that may constrain effective case management by Public Prosecutors (e.g., limitations on case file exchanges, removal of authorities to discontinue prosecutions, and witness role determinations). Strengthen the theoretical and conceptual foundations of the principle of functional differentiation (diferensiasi fungsional) vis-a-vis the active role and authority of the Public Prosecutor as the master of the case (dominus litis) across all stages from pre-investigation and investigation to trial and execution. Design strategic blueprints, early intervention formulations, and operational coordination models that optimise new statutory mechanisms (such as voluntary maximum fines for minor offences, peace fines/denda damai, restorative justice mechanisms, and deferred prosecution agreements) to fortify prosecutorial case management. Formulate actionable, evidence-based policy recommendations and a structured implementation roadmap to guide the Prosecution Service (Kejaksaan RI) and the Ministry of National Development Planning/Bappenas in executing prosecution transformation and advancing integrated criminal justice reform.
