JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of Commission III of the House of Representatives from the Gerindra faction, Desmond J Mahesa, does not agree with the proposed dismissal of the National Police Chief Listyo Sigit Prabowo from his position.

This proposal is the aftermath of the murder case against Brigadier Nopryansah Yosua Hutabarat or Brigadier J who dragged the former Head of the Propam Police Division Inspector General Ferdy Sambo.

According to Desmond, the disclosure of the shooting case of a member of the National Police is Sigit's first step in fixing the Bhayangkara Corps institution in order to regain public trust. Moreover, the National Police Chief immediately announced the determination of the suspect, Ferdy Sambo.

"I saw the National Police Chief today, with the revelation (of the murder of Brigadier J, ed) Pak Sigit wants to improve himself," Desmond said at the DPR building, Senayan, Jakarta, Monday, August 22.

According to Desmond, the change of the National Police Chief does not guarantee a total change in the National Police body after 83 members were found to have been involved in the Ferdy Sambo case.

"Improvement is not about people, we will see if the replacement of the National Police Chief is getting better, right, not necessarily," said Desmond.

Instead, he appreciated the National Police Chief for making this premeditated murder case clear. Although Ferdy Sambo's motive for killing his men has not been revealed yet.

"Yes, if I am personally anything, this is extraordinary, if I am honest, I appreciate it. If a new person is replaced, will it be the same as what has been going on today? There are questions," Desmond explained.

Therefore, this Gerindra politician does not agree if General Listyo Sigit Prabowo is dismissed as the National Police Chief. Desmond even suspects that the proposed replacement of the National Police Chief actually wants this case not to be resolved.

"If I don't really agree with changing it or using another language, all this time it's been heading towards improvement, why is Pak Sigit replaced. Could it be that it was suggested that Pak Sigit be replaced so that it wouldn't be exposed, could it be like that," he said.

Democratic politician Benny K Harman asked the National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo to be temporarily dismissed. Benny Harman suggested that all tasks be taken over temporarily by the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD.

"I interrupted. I think Pak Suding's question is important, which the coordinating minister needs to say, if I call it a general who wants to resign. Second, it's true that Mr. Mahfud has a new suspect, who is important, right, sir?," said Benny K Harman during a hearing with the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs who is also the Head of Kompolnas Mahfud MD at Commission III of the DPR, Senayan, Jakarta, Monday, August 22. .

"We don't trust the police, the police give our information to the public, our public is being deceived, we are too, we are being lied to. We only read through social media and official statements from Headquarters, we responded that it was wrong. The public has been lied to by the police, so the National Police Chief should have been temporarily dismissed and taken over by the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs to handle this case so that it is objective and transparent,” continued Benny K. Harman. Mahfud MD responded with a smile.
