JAKARTA - The national volunteer of the Prabowo Underground Force (Pasbata) firmly rejected the idea of placing the National Police of the Republic of Indonesia (Polri) under the ministry.
The discourse is considered potentially disruptive to national security stability which is the main foundation of the investment climate and economic activity.
Chairman of the General Assembly of Pasbata Prabowo, David Febrian, assessed that the National Police has a strategic function in maintaining legal certainty and national stability which has a direct impact on the trust of business actors.
"Security and legal certainty are the main prerequisites for economic growth. If the Polri command line is slowed down by the ministry bureaucracy, the risk to national stability and the business climate will increase," said David through a VOI written statement, Monday, February 2.
Pasbata emphasized that the position of the National Police, which is directly responsible to the President, is a constitutional and strategic choice.
The direct command line is considered to allow for a quick response to various threats, including economic crimes, cyber crimes, and social conflicts that have the potential to suppress business activities.
In the midst of increasing global and national economic complexity, Pasbata assesses that the country needs independent and agile law enforcement institutions.
The placement of the National Police under the ministry is feared to open the door to the tug-of-war of sectoral interests that can erode the professionalism of the institution.
Pasbata calls for the policy of Polri governance to continue to be directed to strengthen national stability, in order to maintain investor confidence and the sustainability of Indonesia's economic growth.
