SEMARANG - Central Java Gerindra Party DPD reported Blora Regency DPRD Member Setiyadji Setyawidjaja to the Central Java Regional Police for alleged violations of the Health Quarantine Act.

Secretary of the Central Java Gerindra Party DPD Sriyanto Saputro after reporting to the Central Java Regional Police Integrated Police Service Center, said Setiyadji was a former chairman of the Gerindra Party in Blora Regency who had actually been dismissed from party membership and as a legislator.

According to him, the basis for the report began with the summons of Setiyadji to the party's honorary court regarding the alleged disciplinary violation in question.

"When summoned on June 25, 2021, it turned out that the person concerned could not be present on the grounds that he had to undergo self-isolation due to being positive for COVID-19," he said, quoted by Antara, Monday, December 6.

After being traced, said Sriyanto, it turned out that in the period between 14 to 23 June 2021 the person concerned attended a working visit to two regions in East Java.

The results of the PCR test on Setiyadji on June 18, 2021 at a hospital, he continued, stated that the person concerned was positive for COVID-19.

"As a public official, you should set a good example and not harm others," he said.

According to Sriyanto, this report to the police is a form of Gerindra's support to the government in its efforts to enforce health protocols in the midst of a pandemic.

Meanwhile, Setiyadji Setyawidjaja himself is currently suing the general chairman of the Gerindra Party, Prabowo Subianto, for being fired from the position of chairman of the DPC Gerindra Party in Blora Regency.

Separately, the Head of Public Relations of the Central Java Police, Kombes Iqbal Alqudusy, confirmed that the SPKT had received a report on the alleged violation of Law Number 6 of 2018 concerning Health Quarantine.

"In principle, the Police are ready to serve and receive complaints from the public," he said.
