Draft Regional Regulation Ratified, Nunukan Police Ready To Aim For COVID-19 Health Prokes Violators

JAKARTA - The police will take violent action against violators of the health protocol (Prokes) in Nunukan Regency, North Kalimantan.

This follows the passing of a draft regional regulation (Ranperda) regarding sanctions for violators of the COVID-19 health protocol by the Nunukan DPRD.

The Nunukan Police Chief, AKBP Syaiful, was quoted as saying by Antara, Thursday, February 4, that prevention efforts have been less than optimal because there is no legal umbrella to take action against violators.

Even though various preventive steps have been taken to prevent the spread of the corona virus in his working area. Unfortunately, related parties cannot impose sanctions because there is no legal umbrella.

The same thing was stated by Regent of Nunukan Hj Asmin Laura Hafid. He hopes that the regional regulation on sanctions against prokes violators can be realized in the field.

Laura admitted that so far, firm measures have not been implemented against violators of the COVID-19 process because there is no legal umbrella underlying it.

For that, he said, one of the concrete steps that could underlie the imposition of sanctions on people who violate this bylaws. The sanctions that will be given have been stipulated in this regional regulation that was passed by the DPRD Nunukan.
