JAKARTA - The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Puan Maharani, welcomed the move by the Indonesian National Army (TNI) to deploy intelligence to help the National Police bring order to rogue community organizations (ormas).
According to Puan, the synergy between the two law enforcement officers can be carried out in accordance with applicable regulations.
"Yes, as long as the synergy can be done together, and for the common good and according to the rules, you can do it, go ahead," said Puan, Tuesday, May 27.
Previously, President Prabowo Subianto ordered the TNI-Polri to take action against illegal levies by mass organizations that were troubling entrepreneurs.
The Commander of the TNI Military Police Center, Maj. Gen. Yusri Nuryanto, said that his party had also deployed intelligence units to assist the authorities in controlling a number of community organizations (ormas) that were considered disturbing to the public.
Maj. Gen. Yusri explained that military police intelligence has a function of investigation and physical security (lidpamfik) that can assist intelligence from other institutions to deal with a problem. The goal is that the TNI will both help in the creation of security.
Apart from the National Police, the TNI was also previously asked to oversee the Prosecutor's Office. Puan said that the security of the Prosecutor's Office by the TNI was in accordance with existing regulations.
"From the report I received from the meeting held by Commission I, it was in accordance with the rules. It is in the TNI Law, and there is a Presidential Decree. So it is in accordance with existing regulations," explained Puan.
On the other hand, Puan responded to the news of a prosecutor in Deli Serdang, North Sumatra, who was persecuted. Puan emphasized that there was no intimidation in any form. He considered that the incident should be thoroughly investigated.
"The point is that there should be no intimidation, if there is intimidation, it will be thoroughly investigated," said Puan.
It is known that a prosecutor in the General Crimes (Pidum) with the initials JWS and ASN at the Deli Serdang District Attorney's Office, North Sumatra was stabbed by an unknown person on Saturday, May 24. The police arrested two perpetrators of the stabbing, one of whom was a member of a mass organization.
"Freedom of speech already has a law, and there is a corridor. So if outside of freedom of speech it has exceeded the limits completely and through applicable legal procedures and mechanisms," concluded Puan.
