He said all the due diligence processes for the TNI commander candidates had been carried out, including the factual verification carried out by Commission I of the DPR by visiting General Andika's residence.

According to him, the visit was aimed at keeping in touch and ensuring that General Andika did live in the place stated in the document, had a family and had children.

"The cool language is factual verification so that when Monday (8/11) the results of the feasibility test are sent to the DPR, we have visited. And we proved that Pak Andika does live here, that's all," he said.
