JAKARTA - Democratic Party (PD) politician Kamhar Lakumani also commented on the reprimand of Gerindra Party chairman Prabowo Subianto, to the Gerindra faction member of the DPR

">Fadli Zon after insinuating President Joko Widodo about the floods in Sintang.

Kamhar said that Fadli Zon's criticism of the government at that time was in his capacity as a member of the DPR. He also compared the attitude of the former Ketum Democrat who is also the 6th President of the Republic of Indonesia Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) to his cadres.

"As a member of parliament, what Mr. Fadli Zon did was his constitutional obligation as a representative of the people to voice the aspirations of the people. No one should intervene or be silenced, for whatever reason," said Kamhar, Sunday, November 21.

"This is the truth as a member of parliament, to voice out what the public wants and concerns about the authorities so that power runs on the right track," he continued.

According to him, it should be questioned if Fadli Zon as a member of parliament does not speak. This, he said, had betrayed the people as the holder of the highest sovereignty who had given them a mandate through elections.

"Especially if you only speak out to silence other members of parliament, this is actually a betrayal of the people's mandate," he said.

"So what Mr. Fadli Zon has done should be appreciated. Because being a member of parliament means forming a coalition with the people and becoming opposition to power. In this way, democracy will be healthy and of good quality," continued the Deputy for Bappilu of the Democratic Party.

As for the Ummat Party's offer for Fadli Zon, Kamhar considered it the right of the chairman of the DPR BKSAP to give a choice.

"Responding to the offer from the Ummat Party against Mr.

">Fadli Zon, of course, this is entirely up to Mr. Fadli Zon," said Kamhar.
