Searching for the Existence of the Ministry of Human Rights in Resolving the Gamma Case

Prabowo's decision to form the Ministry of Human Rights (HAM) is considered by many parties to be a concrete and responsive step towards efforts to resolve human rights violations in Indonesia. The appointment of Natalius Pigai as Minister who has atrack recordhaving served as a commissioner of Komnas HAM clearly has a plus value related to the basic knowledge and how to resolve human rights violations. However, these hopes seem to be in vain, at the beginning of his tenure Natalius Pigai had already caused controversy by offering an increase in the work budget to 20 trillion on the grounds that he would form a human rights campus and human rights extension workers throughout Indonesia. However, his performance in investigating Gamma's death was very nil. In fact, he onlystatedonce regarding the case by saying that his party had sent officers to check the field. After that Natalius Pigai and the Ministry of Human Rights disappeared as if swallowed by the earth. Neither releases nor official statements issued by the Ministry of Human Rights have been issued to date, even though Gamma's death is still hanging. There are also no recommendations regarding the case investigation process. So is there still a need for a Ministry of Human Rights?.
