Highlights Rachel Vennya Who Escaped Quarantine, DPR: Strict Sanctions Must Be Given, Don't Have Different Attitudes

JAKARTA - Member of the House of Representatives Commission IX Netty Prasetiyani Aher, highlighted the case of the celebrity Rachel Vennya who escaped from quarantine after traveling abroad. He asked law enforcement to sanction Rachel Vennya.

"If it is proven that he has run away from the stipulated time period, he must be given strict sanctions. There should be no omission and distinction of attitude to anyone. Moreover, the person who did this is a public figure who is used as an example by the community," said Netty to reporters, Thursday, October 14.

According to the chairman of the PKS DPP, if the government does not give strict sanctions, especially if it tends to be silenced, this can trigger social jealousy.

"Don't let the people think that the government is picky in giving sanctions," he stressed.

Netty said that prokes violations by public figures have occurred several times and have become widespread media coverage. He said that the clarification and action steps should be disseminated to the public as well.

"That way, the people know and believe that the government is firm, fair and transparent. If they choose to choose, the people can be indifferent to the provisions of the health protocol," he continued.

In addition, said Netty, the alleged involvement of TNI personnel in the disappearance of this public figure must be thoroughly investigated. He reminded that the apparatus must act as both executor and supervisor of the implementation of the rules, not helping violations.

"This incident must be investigated thoroughly, do not let it go. I am afraid, previously there have been similar incidents, but not known to the public," he said.

Therefore, continued Netty, if it is proven that officers were involved, then the government needs to conduct an evaluation.

"Has monitoring and evaluation been carried out on the performance of quarantine officers? Not only officers at the airport but also officers in charge at quarantine places," said Netty.

It is known that celebrity celebrity Rachel Vennya fled during quarantine at Wisma Atlet Pademangan, Jakarta, after returning from the US. Rachel Vennya escapes with the help of TNI personnel.

"Kodam Jaya is in the process of being investigated regarding the news of Rachel Vennya's escape from quarantine at the Wisma Atlet Pademangan Hospital," said Head of Pendam Jaya Colonel Arh Herwin BS in a written statement, Wednesday, October 13.

The investigation started from the airport to the Wisma Athlete. It was found that Rachel Vennya had run away with the help of TNI personnel starting from the process at Soekarno-Hatta Airport.

"From the results of the temporary investigation, there were findings that there were unscrupulous members of the TNI in the Security Task Force at the airport who carried out non-procedural actions," continued Kapendam.
