JAKARTA - The House of Representatives' Honorary Court (MKD) considers Arteria Dahlan's summons to the Soekarno-Hatta Airport (Soetta) Police to violate the MD3 Constitution concerning the MPR/DPR/DPD. The reason is, to summon members of the DPR must go through the permission of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi).

Habiburokhman said that if the police needed Arteria's information regarding an argument with a woman who claimed to be the family of a three-star general, then the MKD would summon the Soetta Airport Police Chief, Kombes Edwin Hariandja, to the Indonesian House of Representatives.

"We offer that if Mr. Arteria's statement is requested, we will check it here, we will give a statement, we will call the police to give a statement at the MKD," said Deputy Chairperson of the DPR MKD Habiburokhman at the DPR Building, Wednesday, November 24.

Furthermore, Habiburokhman claimed to have met Arteria last night. He suggested that Arteria did not need to fulfill a call to the Soetta Airport Police because it could damage the system regulated in Article 245 of the MD3 Constitution.

"I met Mr. Arteria last night, during a meeting of the Prosecutor's Law Committee, he was eager to attend, but I told Mr. Arteria that if you were present, it would damage the system. The MD3 Law at 245 MPR/DPR is clear that if you are summoned you must go through the MKD but now it has passed. president except for corruption, drugs, special crimes," explained Habiburokhman.

He said that it was not a matter of Arteria not complying with the law if he complied with the summons to the Airport Police, but that the police had no right to summon a member of the DPR without official permission.

"This is not about the Arteria, it's about how we comply with the law. I remind Mr. Arteria that if you are summoned and present, you are not positioning equality before the law, because the law stipulates that," said the member of Commission III of the DPR.

Habiburokhman, who sits on the legal committee, also regrets the summons from the airport police. He requested that the Chief of Police at Soetta Airport be evacuated by the Kapolda of Metro Jaya.

"We regret it, if he obeys the law. We ask the Airport Police Chief to be evaluated by this person from the Metro Police," he said.

Previously, Soetta Airport Police Chief Kombes Edwin Hariandja, said Arteria Dahlan would be summoned to the Airport Police today, Wednesday, November 24, for questioning.

Meanwhile, the woman who claims to be the daughter of the three-star general was summoned tomorrow, Thursday, November 25. However, it is not known what time the call was made.

"Clarification invitations for both parties are planned for Wednesday and Thursday. Arteria is Wednesday and the woman is Thursday," said Soetta Airport Police Chief Kombes Edwin Hariandja, Tuesday, November 23.
