ABSTRACT
The law Number 20 of the Year 2002 on Electric Power is considered problematic by many
in a number of ways. The political attitude of the members of parliament (MPs) who where
involved in the making of the law may be suspected to have played a part in the adverse
situation. This content analysis and documentary study reported here aimed to assess the
understanding of the MPs of the 1999-2004 period about the substance of the electric power
law, the attitude they demonstrated in the making of the law, and their understanding of
ethical principle underlying good governance required in the construction of laws. Data were
collected through document analysis, observation, and in-depth interviews. Results revealed
a number of attitude demonstrated by the members of parliament when constructing the law
that indicated law-level understanding of the substance of the law and also weak compliance
to ethical principle.
