JAKARTA - The National Police Reform Acceleration Commission claims its work is "finished". The chairman of the commission, Prof. Dr. Jimly Asshiddiqie said the reform recommendations were complete in 10 books and were waiting for the President's time to receive the report and make decisions on a number of points that could not be decided by the commission.
"It's over, it's over. The recommendation is complete, 10 books," said Jimly after breaking the fast with President Prabowo Subianto at the Presidential Palace Complex in Jakarta, Thursday, March 5 evening. According to him, the report was handed over before Lebaran and will be arranged by the Minister of State Secretary and the Cabinet Secretary.
Jimly said the commission's recommendations were born from public aspirations, but there were parts that touched sensitive areas, namely, changes to laws, implementing regulations, to the reform of internal regulations of the National Police. He said that around 8 Perpol and 24 Perkap needed to be revised so that internal reform could continue for the long term.
The issue of "the police under the ministry" which was once crowded, said Jimly, cannot be opened to the public because it will still be reported to the President. He assessed that the controversy was born from the misinterpretation of the term "under". "Don't use the word 'under'. All institutions are under the President. All," he said. According to Jimly, the context is not subordination to the minister, but rather a coordination option and each alternative has consequences that must be decided by the President.
The Commission also discussed the issue of the appointment of the National Police Chief, including whether it needed the approval of the DPR, as well as term limits. "There must be limits, it's impossible to be a lifetime, right. It's just that this is regulated first in the law," said Jimly. He also mentioned the recommendation touching on assignments outside the police structure, referring to the Constitutional Court's decision.
However, Jimly admitted that the global agenda also caught the President's attention and delayed the commission's report. He said the President even spoke by phone with the Prime Minister of Pakistan before the meeting. "This global issue is serious and I think it takes up attention," he said.
