JAKARTA - Involved in the formation of the National Police Reform Committee, former Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menkopolhukam) Mahfud MD admitted that he had not received any news.

"I don't know. Until now, I don't know the progress yet," said Mahfud MD, quoting ANTARA, Sunday, October 26.

According to Mahfud, official communication with the government regarding the plan to establish a Police Reform Committee has been completed for a long time, namely when he expressed his willingness to join.

"My official communication has been completed for a long time, which is when I was asked and I stated, 'Okay', for Polri reform I am willing. Well, after that I don't know the progress," said Mahfud.

However, the former Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court (MK) admitted that he did not want to ask the follow-up to the formation of the committee, both to the Palace and to the competent authorities.

"I'll think I want it or something, that's it. I'm just willing. But I've never asked anyone and never gave anyone an explanation about it," he said.

Mahfud also said that he had not communicated with the Presidential Special Advisor for Public Security and Order and Police Reform regarding the formation of the committee.

He understands that the team's preparation requires not a simple consideration, so he chooses to wait for a decision from President Prabowo Subianto.

"Because I know the consideration is not easy, so let the president process it as well as possible. Whatever, we'll wait for the results from the president," said Mahfud.

Previously, Minister of State Secretary (Mensesneg) Prasetyo Hadi said that Mahfud MD had expressed his willingness to join the National Police Reform Committee which was being formed by President Prabowo Subianto.

He said the committee would consist of about nine people, including a number of figures and former Chief of Police of the Republic of Indonesia (Kapolri).
