JAKARTA - The Democrat Party faction raised 7 questions to Komjen Listyo Sigit Prabowo, who took part in the fit and proper test as a candidate for the National Police Chief with Commission III of the Indonesian Parliament, Wednesday, January 20. Unfortunately, Listyo Sigit did not answer all the questions completely.
The first question that was asked by Democrats through Benny Kabur Harman was targeting the police's duty to protect the public. In fact, according to Benny, many police officers acted the opposite way. For example, taking part in land and mining cases that do not yet have a clear legal status.
"What is the plan of action for the future police chief," asked Benny during the fit and proper test. The second question is the police strategy that is more sharp in dealing with crimes such as terrorism, narcotics, illegal logging to environmental crimes.
On this second question, Komjen Listyo Sigit said that his party needed qualified facilities and infrastructure to work optimally. For example, for the distribution of narcotics, which is often carried out through remote routes in Indonesia. According to Sigit, the National Police needed supporting equipment.
Furthermore, for terrorism or those exposed to dangerous ideologies. Apart from prevention through a religious approach, Islamic boarding schools and the correct understanding of religion also need to be improved. Listyo Sigit said, he obliged Polri members to study the yellow book.
"As before in Banten, I once said that members are obliged to study the yellow book because we received input from the scholars we visited. To prevent the development of terrorism, one of them is by studying the yellow book,"
"Both internally and externally, I believe that what was conveyed by fellow scholars is true. We will continue that, Sir," said Komjen Listyo, who was once the Banten Police Chief.
The third question from the Democrats concerns the relationship between the National Police and the KPK as the spearhead in eradicating corruption. According to Benny, there is an impression that the National Police has been hampering the KPK's corruption eradication agenda. So, what is Listyo Sigit's plan if he is elected as Chief of Police?
This three-star general who served as Kabareskrim also denied that the National Police had hampered the KPK's performance. According to him, the relationship between the National Police and the KPK is very open in the agenda of eradicating corruption. Police personnel are always given the opportunity to fill and strengthen the KPK.
"Since the beginning, we opened a room for the KPK to join us when we began to carry out investigations and investigations into certain cases. This shows we are open to matters of that nature,"
"When there is a (case) stall, the supervision of the KPK, gives the authority to take in experts or reminds us why the case has stopped, why and how (to stop). So we are in a very solid position with the KPK," explained Listyo Sigit.
The fourth question concerns the duty of the Police in ensuring neutrality during the Pilkada or Presidential Election. Democrats question the agenda of the new Chief of Police so that it does not become a tool of political interests, parties or certain groups. Furthermore, law enforcement is not only sharp downward but blunt upward.
"I also add, don't be sharp to the right but blunt to the left. Not only sharp for friends outside the government but blunt for those inside the government," explained Benny.
Furthermore, the issue of freedom of association and assembly, which according to Benny is a human right. Law enforcement on association or assembly groups must be fair so that hate speech or hoaxes do not arise.
"We fully support, but what you have done is to ensure law enforcement for certain groups but for other groups such as being negligent," said Benny.
According to Listyo Sigit, the Police will continue to stand in the middle of giving a sense of justice to any group. But for hate speech, it's a different story if it is at risk of dividing the unity of the nation.
"Regarding hate speech, if we are still used to it, we will reprimand, apologize and finish. But if there is a risk of dividing the unity of our nation we will not tolerate it. We will definitely process it," he explained.
The final question concerns the new habitus that needs to be built within the National Police institution in order to prevent abuse of authority and power. In closing, Benny touched on 60 thousand cases that have not been resolved by the Police.
"This is your challenge. Please give us a little to solve the tens of thousands of stalled cases," said Benny.
On the last question, Listyo Sigit has not answered it completely. But all questions in this fit and proper test will be recorded and become the National Police's future study.
"Of course, after we explained earlier and then we also got input and questions from colleagues in this room, of course this is an important note for us, then we increasingly understand what is expected by the community about the Polri posture which can really provide hope,"
"So thank you, sir, the leadership of the Commission. We have recorded everything and this will certainly be our next study," explained Listyo.
