JAKARTA - The Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs who is also the Head of Kompolnas Mahfud MD was questioned by members of Commission III of the DPR during a hearing or RDP yesterday. Mahfud MD countered by calling the DPR as if it had been silent regarding the settlement of the Brigadier J.
Initially Mahfud MD questioned the attitude of the DPR, which at the beginning of its appearance was very busy making comments. However, after the murder case involving the former Head of the Propam Division, Inspector General Ferdy Sambo as a suspect and began to come to light, Commission III of the DPR suddenly went silent.
"I said the DPR was silent, the DPR was busy at the beginning, including I followed Mr. Trimedya [PDIP], I followed it 3 days in a row it appeared on TV and was loud, that this should be opened but when it got heated it led to this (suspected murder) how come there is no sound from here. Where is the DPR silent?" said Mahfud MD in front of the meeting members consisting of Commission III DPR, Komnas HAM and LPSK at Nusantara 2 Building, Parliament Complex Senayan, Jakarta, Monday, August 22.
Mahfud said that he as Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs as well as the Head of Kompolnas wanted to work with the DPR to bring clarity to the case of Brigadier J's death at Inspector General Ferdy Sambo's halfway house on July 8.
"That's why I said why the DPR was silent, then the DPR said 'well, the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs doesn't know the law that the DPR should not interfere'.
"The Brotoseno case was successful, right because the DPR said that Brotoseno was suddenly imprisoned as a police officer again, according to the law, you can't make a fuss. Then the DPR said that because he was meritorious, what kind of services did a corruptor perform? Regarding the sexual abuse of students, they said nothing, so I was waiting for it because I felt like I was young, talk here, talk here, let the truth come out," he continued.
However, what happened, Mahfud was actually asked to study the MD3 Law. The reason is that the DPR stated that it was in recess so it could not summon related parties to ask for information. In fact, some say that the DPR cannot interfere in this case because it is being investigated by a special team formed by the National Police Chief.
Mahfud then admitted that he did not understand legal politics, and that was what made him explain to the public regarding the case of Brigadier J, in order to encourage law enforcement to move forward more quickly.
“My dissertation is on legal politics, I know how to use politics to make the law work. I'm sorry for things I can't answer," he said.
"There is information that I keep secret. There is something to encourage law enforcement," he added.
The House of Representatives Commission III Confused After hearing Mahfud's statement in the meeting, Deputy Chairman of the House of Representatives Commission III Desmond J Mahesa admitted that he had hesitated when dealing with the case of Brigadier J's death. "First we are in recess. Second we are confused, because the issue seems to be a domestic affair, a private area, so at the beginning when I was interviewed I was concerned because I thought this was a disaster," Desmond said on the sidelines of the RDP to reporters at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Monday, August 22. Desmond said that at first he prayed that the case that ensnared Inspector General Ferdy Sambo would be resolved quickly. In addition to being familiar with the two-star general, Desmond said he was concerned about the motives that emerged at the beginning of the case investigation.
"This incident (infidelity) can happen to anyone. I said hopefully this will be processed in a very open process that's all I can comment on. Why? Because I know Sambo, I think this is a disaster, his wife is cheating on him, there are aides and other things. ," said Desmond.
Desmond also admitted that he did not go into further detail in the case of Brigadier J's death at this high-ranking National Police shelter. However, the spotlight only deepened after the legal construction of this case was revealed and dragged Ferdy Sambo's wife, who initially reported as a victim of abuse.
However, Desmond prefers to leave everything to the trial until everything is revealed clearly.
"We don't know the developments, in the end it became clear that his wife was also a suspect. The motive is still unresolved, right, does anyone understand what the motive was for his wife to be involved? It's not clear yet. We'll wait in court," said Desmond. Therefore, said Desmond, Commission III of the DPR chose to remain silent because it did not want to be trapped in things that were still not understood. "We see that if we respond, we respond, we are stuck in things that we don't understand," he said.
