The Surpres Junction Of TNI Commander Substitute Hadi Tjahjanto, Who Is Reportedly Already At The DPR Leadership Table

JAKARTA - A presidential letter (Surpres) regarding the name of the candidate for the TNI Commander in Chief is rumored to have been sent to the leadership of the Indonesian House of Representatives. In fact, the letter has reportedly arrived at the leadership's desk since last Sunday. Related to this, Member of Commission I DPR RI Golkar Faction, Dave Laksono also agreed with the information.

"I have heard from last Sunday," said Dave Laksono, Tuesday, November 2.

It's just that Dave just heard that the Chairman of the DPR, Puan Maharani, has received the Surpres for the candidate for the TNI Commander in Chief today. Because he said, if the Surpres has been accepted by the leadership, it will be discussed in the deliberative body (Bamus).

"If he said he received it today, I just found out, because it hasn't been read and discussed at the Bamus. So schedule the Rapim, and after that it is decided at the Bamus and then schedule a plenary session," explained Dave.

However, Dave said he would immediately inform the media if the Surpres regarding the new commander had been officially received by Commission I of the Indonesian House of Representatives.

"But Commission I of the DPR has not received official information about the Surpres being received by the Chairman of the DPR. We will let you know when it is official," said Dave Laksono.

Previously, the DPR leadership stated that there had been no Presidential Letter (Surpres) regarding the name of the replacement TNI Commander Marshal Hadi Tjahjanto. Rumors circulated that the Presidential Decree would be sent by the Palace today, Monday, November 1. "Until this moment, I haven't checked whether it has entered or not. But as far as I know I haven't," said Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Muhaimin Iskandar at the DPR Building, Monday, November 1.

Member of Commission I of the DPR, Tubagus Hasanuddin, explained that if the Surpres had been sent to the DPR, then Commission I would immediately conduct a fit and proper test for the candidate for the TNI Commander. Furthermore, the DPR's approval will be sent to President Jokowi.

"Later, if there is a presidential decree, of course it will be sent to Commission I, and Commission I will carry out a fit and proper test. The results will be reported to the leadership of the DPR and the leadership will send a letter to the President," Hasanuddin explained.

He also ensured, the mechanism will be on time. Bearing in mind, Commander Hadi has just entered retirement at the end of November.

"For example, if the TNI Commander retires on December 1, it means that his inauguration is the last week. Now it's only the first week that there are still two weeks, I think that's enough," Hasanuddin said.
