Commission I of the DPR is ready to hold a fit and proper test for the sole candidate for TNI commander Admiral Yudo Margono immediately after the presidential letter (Surpres) was received by the leadership of the DPR yesterday. However, the defense commission is still waiting for an assignment from the Deliberative Body (Bamus) to implement the mechanism for appointing the new TNI commander. Although there is information on the fit and proper test to be carried out on Wednesday, to this day the results of the Bamus meeting have not ordered Commission I. "We are ready to carry out a fit test at any time, but we are waiting for an assignment from the Bamus. To this day there has been no assignment from the DPR Bamus," said Deputy Chairman of Commission I of the DPR Abdul Kharis Almasyhari, Tuesday, November 29. The mechanism for the fit and proper test for the candidate for TNI commander in chief, namely Commission I of the DPR, will immediately hold an internal meeting to prepare for the fit and proper test after being assigned by Bamus. Then before the fit and proper test, the candidate for TNI commander will be administratively verified regarding personal data. If declared complete, a fit and proper test will be carried out. After that, Commission I of the DPR will verify factuals by visiting the residence of the candidate for TNI commander Admiral Yudo Margono. If all have been verified, Commission I will bring the results of the fit and proper test to Paripurna for approval. When it has been agreed and ratified, the leadership of the DPR will send the name of Admiral Yudo Margono to be appointed Commander of the TNI, and remove General Andika Perkasa. "As usual, verify the administration of data and so on. The internal meeting decided when the date the commander was present to submit the files later the leadership of Commission I will verify. If it is declared complete and okay then a fit and proper test will be carried out. After completion, usually in the afternoon he visits the residence as a form to understand at the residence. If the visit is carried out before (fit and proper test) it will be considered neutral," explained Abdul Kharis. The PKS politician assessed that the figure of Yudo Margono was one of the three best chiefs of staff as a candidate for TNI commander. Kharis hopes that Yudo will be able to pass the fit and proper test smoothly and be able to carry out the mandate as TNI commander in the next 11 months. "His term of office is short, I hope Mr. Yudo prepares for a presentation in the fit and proper test of things that can be carried out in less than a year. He will retire next year. shorter (than Andika served), about 11 months," said Kharis. Even so, Kharis emphasized that his party could not confirm when the fit and proper test was carried out because it was still waiting for Bamus, which is the authority of the DPR leadership. "We are still waiting for Bamus, that's the leader. We were invited to the bamus meeting. We were waiting for the Bamus meeting invitation. Until this afternoon there has been no invitation," he concluded.
