The legal issue arising from Constitutional Court Decision which requires a minimum age of fifty for candidates for KPK leadership. The petitioners, who were former KPK employees, argued that this requirement violated citizens’ constitutional rights to equality before the law and equal opportunity in public office as guaranteed by the 1945 Constitution. This study examines how the Constitutional Court interpreted the law in this decision and the legal consequences of that interpretation for the principles of justice and the protection of citizens’ constitutional rights. This research employs a normative juridical method with statutory and conceptual approaches. The results show that the Constitutional Court adopted a restrictive interpretation, limiting the meaning of the provision strictly to its textual wording without expanding it to include the broader context of substantive justice. This approach affirms the Court’s view that the age limit for KPK leaders is part of the legislature’s open legal policy. However, if the Court had used an extensive interpretation, its reasoning could have been directed toward achieving substantive justice and recognizing the petitioners’ professional experience. The restrictive interpretation resulted in a lack of harmony between anti-corruption objectives and the protection of constitutional rights, narrowing access to public office based on competence and integrity.
