JAKARTA - Minister of Home Affairs Tito Karnavian spoke about the steps of the Governor of Aceh who is rumored to have written a letter to the United Nations (UN) to ask for help. Tito admitted that he had not read the letter and did not know the details of the application.
"I haven't read it," Tito said briefly when asked by reporters at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta, Monday, December 15.
Tito said he had only heard the information, but had not directly monitored the content or form of assistance requested by the Aceh Provincial Government. He also could not confirm whether the letter was forwarded to the central government or not.
"Regarding what the assistance will be like, I don't know yet," he said.
When asked whether the Ministry of Home Affairs allowed regional heads to ask for help from foreign parties, Tito did not give a direct answer. He emphasized that the substance of the request must be seen first before taking a stance.
"Ask what it was. What is the assistance for," said Tito.
