JAKARTA - Member of Commission III of the House of Representatives, Hasbiallah Ilyas, reminded the ranks of the Indonesian National Police to be serious and consistent in handling cases of drug abuse involving internal figures.
He emphasized that the order to carry out simultaneous urine tests for all members of the Indonesian National Police should not be just a gimmick or mere formality.
This was emphasized by Hasbiallah in response to the instructions of the National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo who ordered simultaneous urine tests throughout the ranks of the National Police. The instruction was issued following the still existence of members, including mid-level officers, who were entangled in cases of drug abuse.
Hasbiallah reminded that the instruction should not be just a ceremony but should really be based on the spirit of maintaining the dignity and integrity of the police institution.
"Urine tests should not just be a symbol or image. This must be part of a real commitment to cleaning the internal. If the apparatus itself is involved in the practice of illegal drugs, then who will the public believe?," Hasbiallah told reporters, Tuesday, February 24.
Although he supports the firm steps of the police leadership, Hasbi emphasized that implementation in the field must be transparent and accompanied by strict supervision. He also encouraged that sanctions against members who are proven to be involved should not be indiscriminate.
"Law enforcement must be firm, open, and uncompromising. This is important to restore and maintain public confidence in the Polri institution," said the legislator from the Jakarta District.
Hasbi ensured that his commission would continue to oversee the functions and performance of the National Police so that institutional reform could run without obstacles.
"Commission III of the DPR RI will continue to carry out oversight functions so that internal police reform will run consistently and not stop at instructions alone," he concluded.
