Until Asked To Study The MD3 Law In The Case Of Brigadier J, Mahfud MD Secretariat Of The DPR: Why Did You Always Interfere?

JAKARTA - The Coordinating Minister for Politics, Law and Security who is also the Head of Kompolnas, Mahfud Md, responded to the objection of Commission III of the DPR regarding the accusation of 'only silence' in responding to the premeditated murder case carried out by the former Head of the Propam Division, Inspector General Ferdy Sambo.

Mahfud actually turned to question the attitude of the DPR, which at the beginning of its appearance was very busy making comments. However, after the case of the police shooting the police walking and starting to come to light, Commission III of the DPR suddenly went silent.

"I said the DPR was silent, the DPR was really busy at the beginning, including I followed Mr. Trimedya, I followed it 3 days in a row it appeared on TV and it was loud, that this should be opened but when it got heated to this (alleged murder) why wasn't there? The voices come from here. How come the DPR is silent," said Mahfud in front of the leaders and members of Commission III of the DPR as well as the National Human Rights Commission and LPSK at Nusantara 2 Building, Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Monday, August 22.

Because, Mahfud reasoned, he wanted to work together with the DPR to push for clarity on the case of Brigadier J's death at Ferdy Sambo's halfway house on July 8.

"I said let me push this case together. Law is a political product, it cannot run alone if there is no political atmosphere that encourages its pro-justice," said Mahfud.

However, what happened was Mahfud was asked to study the MD3 Law. The reason is that the DPR stated that it was in recess so it could not summon related parties to ask for information.

In fact, some say that the DPR cannot interfere in this case because it is being investigated by a special team formed by the National Police Chief.

"That's why I said why the DPR was silent, then the DPR said 'well, the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs doesn't know the law that the DPR should not interfere'.

"The Brotoseno case was successful, right because the DPR said that Brotoseno was suddenly imprisoned as a police officer again, according to the law, you can't make a fuss. Then the DPR said that because he was meritorious, what kind of services did a corruptor perform? Regarding the sexual abuse of students, they said nothing, so I was waiting for it because I felt like I was young, talk here, talk here, let the truth come out," he continued.
