Panglima TNI Jenderal Gatot Nurmantyo mengungkapkan bahwa Presiden Joko Widodo saat ini sedang bingung. Sebab, banyak aturan yang tak bisa dipangkas karena kewenangannya dibatalkan Mahkamah Konstitusi (MK).
"Sekarang Presidennya bingung. Banyak sekali peraturan. Begitu Mendagri (Tjahjo Kumolo) memapras 3000 aturan, MK bilang enggak boleh. Bingung," kata Gatot di Gedung Pusat Dakwah Pimpinan Pusat Muhammadiyah, Jakarta, Jumat malam (6/10/2017).
Alhasil, kata Gatot Presiden Jokowi pun mengeluh. Alasannya, tak lain karena kewenangan Mendagri untuk memangkas Peraturan Daerah (Perda) Provinsi tersebut dibatalkan MK.
"Akhirnya bingung sekarang. Pak Jokowi ngomong sama saya, dikurangi sama MK enggak boleh (membatalkan Perda)," ujar Gatot.
Meski mengatakan pemerintah sedang kesusahan untuk memangkas sejumlah aturan yang ada. Namun di lain sisi Gatot justru menyindir aturan di Tanah Air yang justru dibeli.
"Saya ceramah di kampus. Saya tanya, kalau suatu saat kamu punya negara, negaranya ekuator, kemudian dalam kondisi krisis, penduduknya bakal kelaparan, melihat Indonesia apa yang akan dilakukan?" tanya Gatot.
"Mahasiswanya cerdik, saya beli Undang-undang pak. Caranya? Kitab Undang-undang kan bisa kita beli, mahasiswa yang bilang seperti itu," tutup dia.
Diketahui, MK memutuskan bahwa frasa "Perda provinsi dan" yang tercantum dalam Pasal 251 Ayat 7, serta Pasal 251 Ayat 5 Undang-Undang Nomor 23 Tahun 2014 tentang Pemerintahan daerah, bertentangan dengan UUD 1945 dan tidak mempunyai kekuatan hukum mengikat.
Ini merupakan putusan MK atas uji materi Nomor 56/PUU-XIV/2016 terkait pembatalan perda oleh gubernur dan menteri.
Pemohon mengajukan uji materi terhadap Pasal 251 Ayat 1, 2, 7 dan 8 UU Nomor 23 Tahun 2014. Dengan adanya putusan MK ini, maka Menteri Dalam Negeri tidak lagi bisa mencabut perda provinsi.
MK dalam pertimbangannya mengacu pada Putusan Nomor 137/PUU-XIII/2015 yang diterbitkan pada 5 April 2017 lalu.
Dalam putusan Putusan Nomor 137/PUU-XIII/2015 itu disebutkan bahwa Pasal 251 Ayat 2, 3, dan 4 UU Pemda sepanjang mengenai perda kabupaten/kota bertentangan dengan UUD 1945.
Dalam putusan itu juga MK menyatakan, demi kepastian hukum dan sesuai dengan UUD 1945 menurut Mahkamah, pengujian atau pembatalan perda menjadi ranah kewenangan konstitusional Mahkamah Agung.

5 Consequences of Driving without Car Insurance
Do you own a car? Great! Does your car also have a valid motor insurance cover on it?
Owning a car, while earlier classified as being a luxury, has now moved down to being a comfort. In fact, in metros, a car has almost become a necessity due to long-distance commutes. More and more of us are, therefore, buying a car. But are we also buying the mandatory car insurance policy?
Every car which is to ply on Indian roads should have a valid car insurance cover, states the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. When you buy a new car, the choice of buying an insurance policy is, thankfully, taken out of your hands. The on-road price of the car is inclusive of the insurance premium for your car insurance policy. The problems arise when the policy expires after a year. Car insurance plans are usually issued for one year after which they should be renewed. If you do not renew it, you are driving a car without car insurance. If numbers are any indication, a study by New India Assurance revealed that about 70% of vehicles on Indian roads are without insurance. Is your car one among them?
If yes, beware. Here are 5 consequences if you drive your car without having a valid Car Insurance policy:
Be prepared to pay heavy fines
Earlier, the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 governed the road safety and traffic rules. Recently, the Government passed the Road Transport and Safety Bill 2014 to replace the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. Among other changes, the Bill penalizes you heavily if you are caught driving without having a valid insurance cover. As per the amendments, you would have to part with a whopping Rs.25, 000 for a light motor vehicles or Rs.75, 000 for other motor vehicles as a fine for driving without insurance. A huge fine, isn’t it?
Pay losses for damages caused to third party or property
In an accident, if you unintentionally harm any person or surrounding property, you are liable to pay the loss incurred. This is called third party liability. Your car insurance mandatorily covers this third party liability and spares you the loss incurred. In the absence of a valid insurance cover, you would have to bear the losses incurred. If the person dies, your liability would be very high.

Pay losses for own damage
While you have to compulsorily pay losses caused to a third party, what about your losses. In an accident even your vehicle suffers damage. The costs of repairs for such damage are borne by your comprehensive car insurance policy. Without insurance, the onus of paying for the repairs is on you. With the high cost associated with the repairs of your car, a financial strain is inevitable.

Face legal complications
Besides the financial loss suffered in an accident which causes damage to a third party and/or self, you would also be entangled in legal complications if your car is found without a valid insurance cover. You would be penalized, get a challan and might even be imprisoned.
Loss of No Claim Bonus
If your car insurance expires and you do not renew it, besides the penalties and fines, you also lose the No Claim Bonus which you accumulated in your existing policy. Car insurance plans allow a discount in subsequent year’s premiums if there is no claim in any current year. This discount increases every year and saves your premium outgo. If you let your car insurance policy lapse, you lose the accumulated NCB and end up paying a higher premium when the policy is consequently renewed.
A car insurance policy is legally mandatory and not having one results in serious consequences (as mentioned above). While a third party liability cover is mandatory, a comprehensive policy is better. The former pays only for the damages caused to any third party but the latter also covers damages incurred by you and your car. The premium for a comprehensive policy is slightly higher because of higher coverage. For instance, the premium payable for a Maruti Ritz car registered in 2012 having a capacity of 1197cc would have a third party premium of Rs.2237 and a comprehensive premium of Rs.4200 (approximately). With a slight increase in the premium you can avail a higher coverage option which covers for your damages too. Since car repairs are expensive, a comprehensive policy makes more sense even if the premiums are a little high. So do not fall a victim to these consequences and buy an insurance policy for your car today.
