The Palace has reportedly sent a presidential letter (Surpres) regarding the replacement of the Chief of Police of the Republic of Indonesia or the National Police Chief to the leadership of the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia (DPR RI).

Related to this, the National Police Chief's Expert Advisor, Edi Hasibuan admitted that he had not received this information.

"I haven't received any information yet," said Edi Hasibuan when confirmed by VOI, Saturday, September 13.

Nevertheless, Edi assessed that the figure of General Listyo Sigit Prabowo was still needed as the National Police Chief to assist the Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka government.

"I see that the president still needs the figure of National Police Chief Listyo to succeed in the president's goal program," said Edi.

Previously, Deputy Chairman of the House of Representatives (DPR) Sufmi Dasco Ahmad denied reports that the Palace had sent a presidential letter (Surpres) regarding the replacement of the Chief of Police of the Republic of Indonesia or the National Police to the Indonesian Parliament.

"Not yet," Dasco said when confirmed by reporters, Saturday, September 13.

Dasco reiterated that until now, the leadership of the DPR RI has not received a Surpres regarding the replacement of the National Police Chief from President Prabowo Subianto.

"The leadership of the DPR has not yet received the Surpres regarding the change of the National Police Chief," he said.

Some time ago, National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo has stated that the replacement of the National Police Chief is the prerogative of President Prabowo Subianto.

This was conveyed by Listyo in response to the push to withdraw after the incident of crossing an ojol driver, Affan Kurniawan by Rantis Brimob during the chaos of last August's final demonstration.

"Regarding the issue related to the National Police Chief, it is the prerogative of the president. We soldiers are ready at any time," said the National Police Chief during a press conference in the Hambalang area, Bogor, West Java, Saturday, August 30.

As is known, Listyo has served as the National Police Chief since President Joko Widodo's administration, precisely since 2021.
