JAKARTA - Member of the House of Representatives (DPR) from the Nasdem Faction, Hillary Brigitta Lasut, is known to have asked for security from the Army. This was done by sending a letter to the Army Chief of Staff. Hillary Brigitta said there were already rules that made the request.

Quoting the VOI article entitled "Ask for TNI's Security, Hillary Brigitta: Not Wanting to Be Cool, Something I Want to Voice and Potentially Disrupting a Group of Persons", Hillary Brigitta, who is a member of Commission I for Defense, explained her reasons for asking for protection from the TNI. Hillary admitted that she has been actively overseeing legal cases for residents in North Sulawesi. These cases, he admits, often involve big people.

From the community report, Hillary Brigitta also continues to oversee so that the police can process it transparently. "So to prevent a conflict of interest, if possible I might be more (escorted) to the TNI because there are fewer reports related to the TNI," said Hillary Brigitta, Wednesday December 1.

Hillary Brigitta said escorting by the TNI is also not new. He explained that many members of the House of Representatives have asked for security assistance from the TNI.

"I immediately wrote to the Army Chief of Staff, asking for security assistance because of considerations. There are many things in the police like this and this," he explained.

The protection of TNI soldiers against Hillary Brigitta is also considered not something that is prohibited. In Article 2 of the Minister of Defense Number 85 of 2014 it is stated that TNI soldiers have abilities in the field of special expertise or competence who will carry out assignments or practices outside the Ministry of Defense and TNI institutions based on needs and requests from government agencies; non-government agencies; and/or Independent.

Hillary also admitted that it was too much trouble for the National Police Chief to ask the police for it. "Regarding the many cases of small communities in North Sulawesi that I oversee, I feel more comfortable this time asking the TNI for help," said Hillary.

In addition, Hillary also emphasized that she made requests for personal security for the TNI, not using the embellishments of members of the DPR from the Nasdem Party. Hillary also believes that because this is a personal need, she does not need to ask permission from the Nasdem Faction of the DPR RI.
