JAKARTA - The return of Ahmad Sahroni as Deputy Chairman of Commission III of the Indonesian House of Representatives has reaped mixed reactions from the public.
A number of parties appreciate Sahroni's return because before being deactivated by the Council of Honor Court (MKD), a number of strategic cases that were under the supervision of Commission III received attention and tight escort from him.
During his tenure, Sahroni was known to be vocal on issues of law enforcement, narcotics eradication, and supervision of law enforcement officials. They hope that Sahroni's return will strengthen the parliamentary control function of the institutions of the Commission III partners.
"Mr. Sahroni is not a proud person. He is willing to take the time to chat with residents. Several times chatting about the situation in the DPR RI, I assess his position is very strong to the community," said the Head of RW 9 Kebon Bawang, Tanjung Priok, Eka Kurniawan.
When he was still serving as deputy chairman of Commission III of the Indonesian House of Representatives, said Eka, Sahroni was indeed keen to follow up on cases of public concern.
In the case of premeditated murder involving former Head of Propam Irjen Pol Ferdy Sambo, for example, Sahroni urged that Sambo be shown to the public. At that time, the public demanded transparency in handling because of the large amount of public suspicion.
Until finally it was revealed that Sambo was behind the premeditated murder of Nofriansyah Yosua Hutabarat, in a case that later shook the police institution and became a national concern.
Likewise, in the case of smuggling 1 ton of crystal methamphetamine involving Irjen Pol Teddy Minahasa.
Sahroni asked the National Police not to side with and protect Teddy. Sahroni also appreciated the National Police Chief, General Pol Listyo Sigit, who removed, arrested, and tried Teddy, who was a general in his institution.
In addition, said Eka, as a community figure in Kebon Bawang, Ahmad Sahroni is very concerned about the environment. Almost every week Ahmad Sahroni gives to orphans. There is also a blessing Friday that is distributed to residents.
"Even three days after being looted, it was still for distributing basic necessities. It's like it was hit by a disaster, but it still pays attention to the surrounding residents," he explained.
That's why he was surprised by what happened on social media. "It's all outsiders who don't know. Like the one on TikTok who insulted Mr. Sahroni, it's because they don't know Mr. Sahroni better," he said.
Saunah, Sahroni's neighbor in RT 1 RW 9, Kebon Bawang, Tanjung Priok, said that Ahmad Sahroni was a honest and very generous person. "He was heavily involved in building the surrounding community," he said.
Therefore, Saunah is surprised why there are people who don't like Ahmad Sahroni. "Ahmad Sahroni is from Kebon Bawang, a person who has helped a lot. But why do some people hate good people," he said.
He also asked netizens who hated Ahmad Sahroni to stop. "Don't be like that, the reality is good for the people. Hopefully those who wronged Mr. Ahmad Sahroni will soon realize it," he said.
