18 Members of F-PKB Submit Motion to Resolve Gibran's Diploma Case

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Eighteen members of the House of Representatives from the Prosperous Justice Party (PKB) faction submitted a motion to express their opinion regarding the controversy surrounding the Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka's diploma.

PKB faction representative, Muhammad Khozin, stated that this action is taken to put an end to the ongoing polemic.

“We believe this polemic needs to be resolved immediately,” Khozin stated on Wednesday (11/11/2026).

According to Khozin, the nation's energy is being excessively drained in debating a diploma issue that he sees as not directly related to the broader public interest.

He argues that the government and all parties should focus more on implementing the Asta Cita program announced by President Prabowo Subianto.

“Our energy is being wasted; too much is being spent on matters that do not correlate directly with the needs of the public,” he emphasized.

“The Asta Cita program that has already been outlined by President Prabowo should be our collective commitment to realize, rather than being neglected and just revolving around ongoing diploma disputes,” he added.

On another note, Khozin explained that he and the 17 members of the DPR RI from the PKB faction are exercising their constitutional rights as outlined in Article 20A of the 1945 Constitution and Article 79, Paragraph (1), Letter c of Law Number 17 of 2014.

This right pertains to the proposal of a motion of opinion that could lead to the impeachment process against Gibran as Vice President.

The proposal is based on alleged disgraceful acts and/or the alleged failure to meet the requirements as Vice President, as stipulated in Articles 7A and 7B of the 1945 Constitution.

The 18 PKB faction members voicing this stance include Muhammad Khozin, Rico Alfiansyah, A. Iman Syukri, Abdullah, Rina Saadah, Daniel Johan, Imas Aan Ubudiyah, Kaisar Abu Hanifah, Indrajaya, Eva Monalisa, Fauqi Hapidekso, Marwan Jafar, Usman Husein, Ali Ahmad, Jailani, Bertu Merlas, Ratna Juwita, and Samsul Rizal.
