The dominance of Deputy Speaker of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) Sufmi Dasco Ahmad has transformed the Indonesian parliament into an efficient "law factory," but risks diminishing its checks and balances function. Entering the 15th month of the Prabowo Subianto era, Senayan appears remarkably calm: minimal interruptions, heated debates, or microphone-cutting drama.
Political observers have highlighted the central role of Dasco, who not only serves as Deputy Speaker of the DPR but also as the Daily Chair of the Gerindra Central Executive Board (DPP)—the president's core supporting party.
The nickname @DonDasco stuck to him because of his ability to orchestrate factional voices like a master director.
Secret Network: Kabinda and Adidas
Journalists uncover a solid political network behind the scenes: Kabinda (Dasco's Mentored Cadres), the majority of Gerindra cadres who hold key positions in the Gerindra Party. The House of Representatives (AKD) includes important commissions and bodies. Then there's Adidas (Anak Didik Dasco), a cross-party network that loyally supports Dasco's agenda—from working committees to the Legislative Body (Baleg).
2025 will be concrete proof. WorldWartaGlobal revealed that Baleg operates like a factory: legislative productivity soars, bill deliberations are swift and measured. The fate of a bill now depends on Dasco's "blessing"—smooth passage, stalling, or dying on the spot.
Stability vs. Democracy?
Pro: Political stability and swift legislation. Con: Fears that the DPR will become a "rubber stamp" for the executive. "Without open debate, oversight weakens," asserts political observer Ray Rangkuti.
Some are calling for stronger oversight mechanisms so that parliament is not merely a "law-making machine." Will "Don Dasco" be a hero of efficiency or a threat to democracy? Senayan awaits an answer
