Mahfud MD: Officials Can No Longer Be A Backing Of The Agriculture Mafia Or Fisheries

JAKARTA - Candidate for vice president (cawapres) number three, Mahfud MD emphasized that law enforcement officers should no longer protect criminals, including the mafia. He is committed to improving this reckless practice.

This was conveyed by Mahfud while campaigning in front of thousands of farmers and fishermen as well as communities in Muncar District, Banyuwangi, East Java today, Friday, December 29.

"The apparatus may no longer be the backing of the mafias in Indonesia, whether agriculture or fisheries," Mahfud said as quoted from his written statement, Friday, December 29.

Mahfud ensured that pair number three would wipe out corruptors and mafia. Law enforcement will be applied optimally indiscriminately.

"We have to clean up this country so that we can progress and prosper together," said the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menko Polhukam).

"The key is the cleaning of the apparatus, bureaucracy, and law enforcement so as not to mess with people's rights," concluded Mahfud.
