JAKARTA - Member of Commission III of the DPR RI, the PDI-P faction, Arteria Dahlan, has been in the spotlight after asking the police, prosecutors and judges not to be the object of a red-handed operation. In fact, his logic is considered crooked for expressing this opinion. Arteria said that the police, judges and prosecutors should not be the objects of the silent operations that are often carried out. He expressed this opinion when filling an online discussion on Thursday, November 18 yesterday. "In the future, in Commission III, we are also initiating, I personally, I believe that the police, judges, prosecutors should not be OTT. Not because we are pro corruptors but because they are symbols of the state in the field of law," said Arteria. Moreover, operations like this often lead to accusations of criminalization and politicization. "In fact, we have great resources for the police, prosecutors, judges, law enforcers.

"There, the eradication of corruption starts with cleaning up the police apparatus by taking action against corrupt individuals. In this way, law enforcement can be free from corrupt practices and public trust will be slow. Gradually it will increase again," added this anti-corruption activist.

The authority of the KPK to carry out investigations, investigations, and prosecutions is for law enforcement officers and state administrators," said Ghufron. "So there are no restrictions on law enforcement officers and state officials, no need to follow up," said Ghufron. 30 of 2002 Juncto Law 19 of 2019," he concluded
