Because the Notary who is summoned does not mean or is not necessarily guilty, but there could be other factors that cause the Notary concerned to have the status of a witness who may also be a suspect. For this reason, improvements are needed that start from within, namely the institution that appoints and the Notary organization itself. In this case, the role of the organization is needed so that the problem does not drag on because it will harm the Notary himself which will ultimately also harm the community, so that to solve this problem there needs to be a commitment from all parties who are competent in this matter.
