Kualitas Anggota DPR

Oleh Edwin Karuwal

Tanggal 9 April warga negara Indonesia akan memilih para wakil rakyat. Sebagai wakil, mereka wajib menyuarakan aspirasi rakyat seluruh Indonesia. Artinya begitu duduk di Senayan, mereka bukan lagi wakil daerah pemilihan masing-masing, tetapi sudah menyuarakan kepentingan seluruh rakyat negeri ini.

Sayangnya, sampai sekarang banyak anggota masyarakat yang sama sekali tidak mengenal siapa dan sepak terjang orang yang akan membawa suara mereka di tingkat nasional. Kalau dikatakan, buta, ya betul-betul buta. Coba kita bikin jajak pendapat, yakin 99,9 persen rakyat negeri ini, tidak tahu siapa para calon anggota legislatif itu. Bahkan mereka yang sudah duduk sebagai anggota DPR sekarang, juga tidak dikenal oleh konstituennya, karena itu apalagi pendatang baru.

Popularitas caleg, bukan jaminan. Salah satu yang justru disorot masyarakat, bukan semata soal dikenalnya para caleg, tetapi kualitas. Dengan kata lain, nama dan pribadinya tidak dikenal apa lagi kualitasnya? Semua serba diragukan. Jangan sampai seperti pepatah mengatakan membeli kucing di dalam karung.

Jadi, yang pasti kita akan memilih orang “asing” alias tak dikenal. Tampaknya kondisi seperti ini setiap pemilu selalu berulang. Kalau rakyat tidak datang ke bilik suara, maka mereka yang tidak menggunakan hak suaranya (golongan putih/golput) pun meningkat. Lalu rakyat diminta pemerintah untuk tetap menggunakan hak suara. Pertanyaannya, kita mau pilih siapa? Wong calonnya nda dikenal kok.

Sekarang soal kualitasnya. Seperti apa sih kualitas anggota DPR sekarang ini. Tidak usah kita sebutkan satu demi satu, kita umumnya sudah tahu termasuk kinerjanya. Paling tidak, kualitas mereka cerminan mutu partai yang menaunginya. Bobroknya kualitas dan mentalitas anggota DPR ini semakin jelas menjelang pemilihan tanggal 9 April ini.
Contoh sederhana, Selasa (25/2/14), sidang paripurna DPR, dari 560 anggota, sebanyak 231 di antaranya mangkir. Tentunya masih ada beberapa sidang paripurna yang seperti itu. Apalagi kalau sidang-sidang di komisi, pasti ada saja anggota yang bermasalah. Entah apa alasan mereka. Mungkin saja mereka sudah sibuk urusan pribadi atau ada juga yang sudah malas atau mencari “sekoci” baru atau dituntut hadir di daerah pemilihan (Dapil) masing-masing, supaya terpilihi lagi. Mereka lupa bahwa mereka masih anggota dewan yang tugas utamanya tetap harus dituntaskan.

Pola dan tingkah laku anggota dewan seperti itu, semakin banyak disorot masyarakat, terutama rakyat yang memperhatikan perilaku dan mentalitas manusianya. Dengan kata lain, anggota DPR yang sekarang sudah malas-malasan mengikuti sidang, apa jadinya bila terpilih lagi. Sepatutnya mereka menjadi contoh yang baik bagi pendatang baru, bukan contoh negatif.

Ya, mau dibilang apa lagi. Makanya jangan heran bila beberapa pihak di berbagai media mengkhawatirkan semakin tinggi WNI yang tidak menggunakan hak pilihnya. Kepercayaan terhadap para wakilnya di DPR sudah “gugur sebelum berkembang”, sudah sirna sebelum hari pemilihan.

The quality of Member of the HOUSE of REPRESENTATIVES by Edwin Karuwal



on April 9, a citizen of Indonesia will elect the representatives of the people. As a representative, they are obliged to voice the aspirations of people all over Indonesia. So does that mean sitting in Senayan, they are no longer the representatives of their respective electoral area, but is already raising concerns the interests of all the people of this country. Unfortunately,

until now, many members of the public are completely ignorant of who and tommyimage people who will bring their voice at the national level. When it says, blind, yes absolutely blind. Let us make the poll, 99.9 percent sure the people of this country, not knowing who the members of the legislature. Even those who have sat as members of Parliament now, nor is it known by his constituents, because it let alone newcomers.

the popularity of parliamentary candidates, not a guarantee. One who thus highlighted the community, not merely a matter of introducing the parliamentary candidates, but the quality. In other words, personal names and not known what else the quality? Versatile all in doubt. Do not like the proverbial saying buy the cat in the sack.

so for sure we are going to choose the "foreign" alias not recognized. It seems such a condition every election always repeating. If people don't come to the sound booth, then those who do not use his voice (the white/golput) also increased. Then the people asked the Government to continue using the voting rights. The question is, do we want to select who? Wong kok nda calonnya known

.Now a question of quality. Like what the hell is quality of the members of Parliament present. Hadn't we mentioned one by one, we generally already know including its performance. At the very least, their quality is a reflection of the quality of a daytime party. Bobroknya quality and mentality of members of Parliament is increasingly apparent ahead of the election on 9 April.
An example of a simple on Tuesday (25/2/14), the HOUSE of REPRESENTATIVES plenary meeting, from 560 members, a total of 231 of them mangkir. Of course there are still a few such plenary meeting. Especially if the hearings in the Commission, there is definitely just a troubled members. Whatever their reasons. Maybe they've been busy private affairs or there is also already looking lazy or "lifeboat" recently or is required to attend in the electoral region (Dapil) respectively, so terpilihi again. They forget that they are still the main task of the Council members should still be completed.

pattern and behaviour of members of the Board like that, more and more people, especially the people highlighted that attention to human behavior and mentality. In other words, a member of Parliament who now have lazy-malasan followed the trial, what would happen if elected again. Should they be a good example for newcomers, not negative example.

Ya, wanna say what else. So do not be surprised if some parties in various media concerned about the higher rights AS CITIZENS who do not use pilihnya. Confidence in the elected representatives in the HOUSE of REPRESENTATIVES are "barred before developing", already gone before election day.
