Presidential Chief of Staff (KSP) Moeldoko said the security forces should not mess with the directives given by President Joko Widodo (Jokowi). "We want that everyone is managed in good governance. No one is playing games, don't let the President be like this, but we are still playing games, we don't want that," said Moeldoko at the Presidential Palace, Jakarta, Antara, Thursday., October 20. Moeldoko said President Joko Widodo's directives to the National Police on Friday, October 14 regarding the increase in professionalism and the termination of the hedonism lifestyle should be considered by all officers, not only the Police. According to Moeldoko, KSP will also supervise so that the direction from Jokowi is implemented properly by the ranks of the National Police and other officers. "If there are things like that at the Prosecutor's Office, I also call the Attorney General. This is in the field like this," he said. So far, said Moeldoko, KSP has been active in receiving public reports related to the performance of the Police. He said the public could take advantage of the Lapor application to provide reports regarding service complaints by the Police. "Please report. I also got a lot of reports from the regent, the behavior of the security forces is like this. What I did, I immediately called the National Police Chief," he said. Moeldoko emphasized that the direction from Jokowi must be guided by all state officials, not only the police or other law enforcement officers. "(It must be) all ministries too. It's a mandate, so everything must be carried out because these forms (violations) can happen anywhere. It is also a direction that must be carried out," said Moeldoko. Previously, President Jokowi last Friday gave directions to police officers to work hard to restore the confidence of the people who had dropped drastically. Jokowi also reminded that the current situation in all countries is difficult, because it is facing waves and global economic storms. For this reason, Jokowi reminded all levels of the National Police to have the same sensitivity to the crisis situation (sense of crisis). Jokowi also reminded the ranks of the National Police to pay more attention to their lifestyle, so as not to cause social jealousy and be in the public spotlight. "I remind you of lifestyle problems, lifestyle. Do not let it be in a difficult situation where social explosions occur, due to socio-economic jealousy," said Jokowi.
