JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of Commission III of the DPR M. Rano Alfath, appreciates the steps taken by the National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo who imposed a Dismissal Without Honor (PTDH) sanction against a member of the Maluku Regional Police Brimob, Bripda MS. This dismissal sanction is the aftermath of the persecution case that killed a MT student with the initials AT (14) in Tual City, Maluku.
Rano assessed that the decision of the PTDH was a tangible proof of the commitment of the National Police in maintaining the sanctity and integrity of institutions and enforcing the law without discrimination.
According to him, the firmness of the National Police Chief towards members who violate is a crucial indicator in measuring the credibility of the National Police as a law enforcement agency in the eyes of the public.
"We appreciate the National Police Chief and his staff who have taken firm steps to impose disciplinary sanctions on the Brimob member. This firmness is important to show the public that the National Police does not tolerate acts of violence, especially those that take away people's lives, especially a child," Rano told reporters, Tuesday, February 24.
The PKB legislator from the Banten District also welcomed the involvement of the Itwasum Polri Kaseksus team and assistance from the Divpropam of the National Police Headquarters in escorting this case. According to Rano, the multi-layered supervision and the involvement of external elements show that the National Police is very serious in maintaining transparency and objectivity of the investigation.
"It is not easy for an institution to take firm action against its own members, but that is where the integrity of the institution is tested. We appreciate the layered oversight space that has been opened to ensure that the process is accountable," he said.
Even so, Rano reminded that the disciplinary sanction in the form of dismissal was not the end of everything. He urged that the criminal legal process against Bripda MS continued until it was completed in court to provide the ultimate justice for the victim's family.
"The sanction of PTDH is an administrative consequence, but criminal accountability must continue. There must be no impunity in cases that cause loss of life. Whoever the perpetrator is must be held accountable for their actions in front of the law openly," said Rano.
Rano ensured that Commission III of the DPR was committed to continuing to monitor the handling of this case until it had a permanent legal force. He also ensured that the parliamentary oversight function would continue to run to ensure that the victim's family received maximum protection without any intervention from any party.
"Public trust is a key asset that must be maintained through firmness, transparency, and consistency in law enforcement," he concluded.
