Jakarta (ANTARA) - Chairman of the Constitutional Court (MK), Anwar Usman, has invited judges and all employees in the judicial environment to use criticism to improve work performance.

"Good cooperation has made the Constitutional Court thrive, despite the many criticisms and even very sharp ones from various parties," Usman stated during a ceremony marking the court's 18th anniversary, which was streamed online here on Friday.

He thanked judges, court clerks, and all employees of the court who had shown dedication to the institution, noting that this was the second time the court's anniversary had to be held online due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

He then asked all employees to remain grateful and celebrate the court's 18th birthday celebration with wisdom, despite the pandemic situation.

Each time and period comes with its own challenges, he said. Currently, Indonesia and a number of countries in the world have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has required people to make adjustments, he added.

These adjustments have also been included in the Constitutional Court's environment, with the entire work system asked to adapt to the new circumstances, he informed.

"Similarly, in our duties as judicial power authorities, the legal proceedings are no longer conducted in the usual way," he pointed out.

Starting from the case registration process, collation of the application requirements, evidence, to the verdict issuance, there is a need to adapt to the new work culture, he explained.

Not only that, in the secretarial field, employees who provide services are also facing many challenges and performance dynamics, Usman said.

"Work facilities, environment, and infrastructure have become a part of the challenge that must be overcome," he remarked.

The adjustments aim to keep the performance of the court institutions running optimally as it should be, he said adding, "To ease these challenges, let us not forget the importance of teamwork.”
