JAKARTA - The desire of a member of the House of Representatives Commission I from the NasDem Fraction as well as the youngest member of the House of Representatives, Hillary Brigitta Lasut, who wants to ask for assistance in securing the TNI to escort her to carry out a sensitive task, was responded to by her faction leader.

The chairman of the NasDem faction, Ahmad Ali, emphasized that his party had never instructed its cadres or members of the DPR to ask the TNI for assistance if there was an urgent matter. Moreover, the reason is because he is worried that there will be threats from certain parties.

According to the deputy head of the NasDem Party, a politician, especially a member of the DPR, should know the risks that will be faced while on duty. Moreover, said Ali, there is also no dangerous escalation to ask the TNI to become an aide, especially Kopassus and Kostrad.

"It is not appropriate for a special force to be given security to a member of the DPR from the NasDem faction," Ali told reporters, Thursday, December 2.

The NasDem faction, said Ali, will follow up on Hillary's request to be escorted. "For sure I will reprimand because it is without the coordination of the factions," said Ali.

"This means that there is no action by members of the DPR to take such individual actions. So all of this should be with the knowledge of the faction, let alone using state tools for personal gain," he continued.

The member of Commission III of the DPR said that there was actually no problem if members of the DPR asked the TNI for assistance for security. It's just that, Ali said, it's not ethical to act as a personal escort or aide.

"If it is normative, it is actually legal, if ethically it is not appropriate. Then if there is an urgent need there is the police as security, but what is urgent in my opinion," said Ali.

Ali asked KSAD General TNI Dudung Abdurachman not to respond to this request for security assistance. He regretted that it was Hillary who asked officially by directly writing to the Army Chief of Staff.

"I think the Army Chief of Staff doesn't need to overreact, there's no need to respond because I don't think it's appropriate for the reasons stated earlier," Ali explained.

Ali assessed that there was no urgency to openly request an aide to the Army Chief of Staff. However, his position as a member of Commission I of the DPR is a working partner of the TNI.

"If tomorrow is transferred from Commission I, what will the position be?" call Ali. Ali then compared it with the DPR leadership only. He said that only the leadership of the parliament was escorted from elements of the police. Thus, it is inappropriate for Hillary to ask for an aide from the TNI.

"The chairman of the DPR is his bodyguard, asprinya whatever the term is from the police. Then it happens that other leaders, on average, like that are regulated by the state and given to them by the state. If members of the DPR ask for security guarding from the TNI institution, it doesn't seem right. Especially from NasDem, I don't agree. , said Ali.

Hillary Claims to Use Personal Money

A member of Commission I of the DPR from the NasDem faction, Hillary Brigitta Lasut, clarified her intention that the request for assistance in securing the TNI was made personally, not using the embellishments of a member of the DPR from the NasDem Party.

So according to him, there is no need to ask for permission for the purposes of independent escort to the NasDem Faction of the DPR RI.

"This is my personal business regarding my security, because the case is in the electoral district. So I did not ask permission from the factions," Hillary explained to VOI, Thursday, December 2.

"The independent request that I made regarding the security of myself and my family is not a faction's business, so there is no need to add to the burden of the party dealing with the concerns and impacts of my decision for the security of myself and my family," he added.

He emphasized that the request for assistance in securing the TNI was carried out independently without asking for facilities from the state. According to him, the request is in accordance with Ministerial Regulation No. 85 of 2014. In which, the Belied regulates the professional personnel of TNI soldiers who serve outside the Ministry of Defense and the Indonesian National Armed Forces.

"As far as I know, it's not clearly stated (in Permen 85/2014), but with me the welfare of the soldiers and their living expenses are clearly my personal responsibility, thereby reducing the burden of state spending as well," said Hillary.

"So there is no such thing as asking for free security assistance," he continued.

The legislator for the North Sulawesi constituency then mentioned that if there are officials who do not have sensitive issues, they are escorted by fully armed personnel but there is no problem. However, he did not mention who he was referring to.

"It's funny when an official, a healthy man who doesn't criticize or deal with a big extremist group comes in with greatness and fully armed patrols, and doesn't matter to anyone," he said.

Therefore, according to him, it is natural that she, who is a 25 year old woman, is dealing with a serious case, and often has disagreements with strong people asking for security assistance from the TNI. Moreover, there are concerns from his family.

He emphasized that his request was not for the sake of being arrogant and arrogant. But it was purely a necessity because he was fighting for his duties as a representative of the people. "I asked for security assistance because my father, who was far away worried about my personal political movement, which often clashed with many parties. I didn't want to be limited when I worked for the community just because I was afraid of being threatened, women were underestimated. said Hillary. "I am a woman who has become an open secret, wanting to be considered equal in terms of mental capacity and ideas is already difficult, let alone fighting for something crucial, such as the land case, and so on," she continued.

Hillary added that what he did was in accordance with the procedures and the rules of the gang. "I did everything according to the procedure and there was a scene. If it was unprocedural, it would not be crowded, but my ideals that I have maintained all this time will collapse," said Hillary.
